The stars are far brighter. Than gems without measure, The moon is far whiter. Than silver in treasure; The fire is more shining. On hearth in the gloaming. Than gold won by mining, So why go a-roaming? O! Tra-la-la-lally Come back to the Valley. J. R. R. Tolkien

She will not stay the siege of loving terms, Nor bide th' encounter of assailing eyes, Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold. O, she is rich in beauty; only poor. That, when she dies, with dies her store. Act 1, Scene 1, lines 180-197 William Shakespeare
Under the Mountain dark and tall. The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall. The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.
