Wooing money

Wooing Lakshhmi, as ways of love
Are, let men on her own to move,
Attracted nor induced,
And never once pursued,
Chased, seldom she’d come to man’s cove.

Poet’s note: Lakshhmi, Hindu goddess of money and wealth. She is supposed to have emerged from the Great Churning of ocean by gods and demons. She was one of the fourteen jewels that arose from this effort. Ocean, her father, gave her in marriage to Vishnu.
