FROM THE POEM OF THE CID (1140) TO FORT KNOX'S POEM ( 2014)

The wild capitalists
devoured#FortKnox's coffers
Nobody opposed bishops
and bankers
because they were god's representatives
While they admire in modern museums of art
the great job...: a barren desert filled only with sand https://t.co/uzubyF6w8y
THE POEM OF THE CID
6 The Cid, impoverished, resorts to Martín Antolinez's cunning. The coffers filled with sand
My Cid spoke, who in good hour girded on sword:
"Martín Antolínez, you are a hardy lance!
If I live, I will double your pay.
Gone is my gold and all my silver;
you ca see plainly that I carry nothing
and I need money for all my followers;
I am forced to this since freely I can have nothing.
With your aid I will buil two coffers;
we shall stuff them with sand to make them heavier,
stud them with nails and cover them with worked leather,
7 The coffers destined to obatin money from the two Jews of Burgos
the leather crimson and the nails well gilded.
Go in haste and find me Raquel and Vidas, and say:
"Since in Burgos I may not buy, and the King's disfavor
pursues me,
I cannot carry this wealth for it is too heavy.
I must put it in pawn for whatever is reasonable.
So that no Christians may see it, come and fetch it by
night"
Let the Creator see it and all His saints besides;
I cannot do otherwise and for this have little heart."

Martín Antolínez goes back into Burgos
Martín Antolínez without delay
went into Burgos, into the Castle.
For Raquel and Vidas he asked inmmediately"
(The Poem of the Cid was written, as far as can be known, sometime around 1140. Its author, again as nearly as can be determined, was a native of the Castilian frontier which faced the Moorish kingdom of Valencia; quite possibly he was from somewhere around Medinaceli or San Esteban de Gormaz, both of which figure in the poem)
