BOOK FIVE — The Church of the Merchants

Reading edition

Mammon led them on— Mammon, the least erected spirit that fell From Heaven; for even in Heaven his looks and thoughts Were always downward bent, admiring more The riches of Heaven's pavement, trodden gold, Than aught divine or holy else enjoyed In vision beatific..... Let none admire That riches grow in Hell; that soil may best Deserve the precious bane. Milton.
