Description of Shakespeare In Wall Street |
12mo., pp.1+ 31; a very good copy in original yellow paper-backed boards, page 1 carelessly opened; with a decorative dust wrapper lightly chipped and rubbed, showing a bear looking down from the clouds at the poor hapless investor. Scarce thus.
First edition.
This very amusing parody written in blank verse has Falstaff, Shylock, Hamlet, and the witches decrying their fortunes as their stocks crash around them.
First Witch:
What all the speculators say:
The market wings its upward way
That Radio will sell more high
Than eagle's flight across the sky
Third Witch:
There'll be an end to all this winning;
The bears will play the final inning.
First Witch:
When Radio is thirty-two
What the Hell will people do?
The author was an authority on property law, writing for the Virginia And Harvard Law reviews. He died in 1945. This title was reprinted in 1978.
