Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
KJV
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
Or with princes that had gold - That is, he would have been united with the rich and the great. Is there not here too also a slight evidence of the fondness for wealth, which might have been one of the errors of this good man? Would it not seem that such was his estimate of the importance of being esteemed rich, that he would count it an honor to be united with the affluent in death, rather than be subjected to a condition of poverty and want among the living?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
