Question

For Gold his Sword the Hireling Ruffian draws, For Gold the hireling Judge distorts the Laws,Wealth heap'd on Wealth,nor Truthnor Safety buys,The Dangers gather as theTreasuresrise.

Answer 1

Here the presenter gets into talking about that gold stuff: loot, cheddar, dollar bills you’re all, cash. He says that everyone is tainted by the craving for money. Using another metaphor, the speaker likens money to "a pest" that takes over human society and leads to many crimes.

People hire themselves out and place crimes for money. Judges bend the law for money. The spokesperson also says that no matter how rich we are, we can't buy accuracy or security. On the opposing: more riches brings with it more danger.
