Merdle The Banker
By Horatio Alger, Jr.
Now Merdle this day having toss’d with his horns
The bears that were pulling so hard at the stocks,
And gored every bull that was treading his corns,
Had lined all his pockets with “plenty of rocks,”
And home now was driving at “two forty” speed,
Where dinner was waiting–“a jolly good feed.”
