Bernard Mandeville - Luxury 
 Employ'd a Million of the Poor, 
 And odious Pride a Million more; 
 Envy it self, and Vanity, 
 Were Ministers of Industry; 
 Their darling Folly, Fickleness, 
 In Diet, Furniture and Dress, 
 That strange ridic'lous Vice, was made 
 The very Wheel that turn'd the Trade.
Luxury Employ'd a Million of the Poor, And odious Pride a Million more; Envy it self, and Vanity, Were Ministers of Industry; Their darling Folly, Fickleness, In Diet, Furniture and Dress, That strange ridic'lous Vice, was made The very Wheel that turn'd the Trade. by : Bernard Mandeville
