Goethe

In Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 's tragic play Faust, Mephistopheles, disguised as a starving man, comes to Plutus, Faust in disguise, to recite a cautionary tale about avariciously living beyond your means:

Starveling. Away from me, ye odious crew! Welcome, I know, I never am to you. When hearth and home were women's zone, As Avaritia I was known. Then did our household thrive throughout, For much came in and naught went out! Zealous was I for chest and bin; 'Twas even said my zeal was sin. But since in years most recent and depraving Woman is wont no longer to be saving And, like each tardy payer, collars Far more desires than she has dollars, The husband now has much to bore him; Wherever he looks, debts loom before him. Her spinning-money is turned over To grace her body or her lover; Better she feasts and drinks still more With all her wretched lover-corps. Gold charms me all the more for this: Male's now my gender, I am Avarice! Leader of the Women. With dragons be the dragon avaricious, It's naught but lies, deceiving stuff! To stir up men he comes, malicious, Whereas men now are troublesome enough.

Near the end of the play, Faust confesses to Mephistopheles:

That's the worst suffering can bring, Being rich, to feel we lack something.
