[Fragment of two partial stanzas from "Folk-Song of Nebraska and the Central West, A Syllabus," 1914 by Louise Pound, of Nebraska.

9. What Care I for Gold and Silver?
Madam, I have land and silver,
Madam, I have house and land, . . .
What care I for gold and silver?—
All I want is a handsome man.
From a dialogue song, on the order of "The Quaker's Courtship," (XXIII, 9).
