Wise, Oh, truly wise
The one who realized for the first time and he said:
With equal need
To get married, that happiness to find.
If you're poor and lame, the rich, jaded
And aristocratic, arrogant, pompous
Try to bypass the party.

Through tattered clothes small sin noticeable
Under a fur coat - hidden all. Gilding the Vice -
And the weapons will break strict judges;
Dress in rags - a pygmy blade of grass piled up.

Anyway, I am sure that poverty and wealth are the qualities of a born. The same, such as hair color or, say, an ear for music. One is born poor, another rich. And money has nothing to do with it.
You can be poor with the money. And therefore a Prince without a single penny.
