In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn a stately pleasure dome decree with promisary notes as cash (his majesty in purple sash with cast iron guarantee).
So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: and Alph, the river loved by bards was mortgaged full; and caverns deep were used to pay off mastercard: the mint was his, and money cheap.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill from this new creation, A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted a spectre known as vast inflation!

and Alph, the river loved by bards
was mortgaged full; and caverns deep
were used to pay off mastercard:
the mint was his, and money cheap.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill from this new creation,
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
a spectre known as vast inflation!
