Ouid non mortalia pectora cogis,

From his question Virgil evidently
thought there was nothing which the
thirst for gold would not drive the aver
age mortal to, even though it be the sur
render of honor, home and country, and
latter day developments have shown his
interrogatory assertion pretty nearly
correct. Gold is one thing for which
there appears to be a craving in the hui
man breast that nothing else will sat

and obstacles, though insurmountalbe
