A Tale Of Greed

Is first described about a group of young Flemish people who spend their time drinking and reveling, indulging in all forms of excess. After commenting on their lifestyle of debauchery, I  enters into a tirade against the vices that they practice. First and foremost is gluttony, which I identify as the sin that first caused the fall of mankind in Eden. Next, I attacks drunkenness, which makes a man seem mad and witless. Next is gambling, the temptation that ruins men of power and wealth. Finally, I denounced swearing.I argue that it so offend God that I forbade swearing in the Second Commandment—placing it higher up on the list than homicide. After almost two hundred lines of sermonizing, I finally returns to my story of the lecherous Flemish youngsters.
