| As if the cost for any error in life | D |

| He heaped them vows not to tarry | H |
| Poor wife of greed had welled down tears | I |

| To feet patience rose headed for the downtown | K |

| That a Man's ill whim for wealth is evil | Z |
| As Greed with a rope jumped his wall | A2 |
| Who knows if he is gone to end it all | A2 |
