Money Wisdom #14

SATAN, turning to the right (towards the males)
You worship two things,
You know nothing finer:
The glitter of gold,
And a woman's vagina.
The one it devours,
The other procures;
How happy you'd be then,
If both could be yours!

.....

SATAN, turning to the left (towards the females)
Two things are delightful
For you to behold:
A glorious phallus
And glittering gold.
Now listen, you women,
For you must be told
To treasure the phallus
Far more than the gold!


Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Faust - The Unpublished Scenarios from the Walpurgis night (@1832)
Translated, with an Introduction and Notes, by John R. Williams (1999) p.376
