In The Treasuries

Place your sweet love in the treasuries for me to speak,
And with the spices and the fine oil of love;
For i want to prepare my sweet red stew for you,
And like Balandan, Bala and Merodack who came to the party last night.
My fruit of love is like the gold as preserved in the treasuries,
But i invited Balah and Rodack as well to the party last night;
And of the beautiful treasure box as shown to them to understand my love,
For the windows of heaven are about to send down the rain!

To the Right Hon. My Lady Anne Lovelace

To the richest Treasury
That e'er fill'd ambitious eye;
To the faire bright Magazin
Hath impoverisht Love's Queen;
To th' Exchequer of all honour
(All take pensions but from her);
To the taper of the thore
Which the god himselfe but bore;
To the Sea of Chaste Delight;
Let me cast the Drop I write.
And as at Loretto's shrine
Caesar shovels in his mine,
Th' Empres spreads her carkanets,
The lords submit their coronets,
Knights their chased armes hang by,
Maids diamond-ruby fancies tye;
Whilst from the pilgrim she wears
One poore false pearl, but ten true tears:
So among the Orient prize,
(Saphyr-onyx eulogies)

Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing, and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.

A Flower To Auroville Mother-86

Canna(Canna spp.)
Wild canna(Indian Shot,
Canna indica)

How can I forget those days
That still string golden
Of your beaded persona
Be beaded around my memoir
A treasury of your seeds

Lily-like but not lily
Plantain-like but not
Pink and orange and red
Catchy flora even sprayed
Childhood friend really

And of your use profuse
Of your bright staminodia
Green sepals tri-petaled
Indeed colourful friendship

Cicero: The Budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

Riches

The countless gold of a merry heart
The rubies & pearls of a loving eye
The indolent never can bring to the mart
Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury

A Coin Of Little Worth

I have seen and liked
silver coins stamped
in ancient Greece Rome

these usually carry the image
of supposedly great men
kings emperors face in profile

but their deeds were often
treacherous harsh cruel
wars these started for more
wealth slaves land to rule

my favourite coin
is a very small coin
tiny of little worth

that a woman with nothing
once gave at the temple
