Fortune offers Wisdom great treasures if Wisdom will become Fortune's friend instead of a former friend who Fortune had blessed but was never satisfied. However, Wisdom laughs off the offer, telling Fortune that the former friend Fortune had blessed will hang himself and that Wisdom does not need Fortune's friendship or treasures.

To Wisdom once proud Fortune said "I'll give thee treasures without end, If thou wilt be my friend instead." "My choicest gifts to him I gave, And ever blest him with my smile; And yet he ceases not to crave, And calls me niggard all the while." "Come, sister, let us friendship vow! So take the money, nothing loth; Why always labor at the plough? Here is enough I'm sure for both!" Sage wisdom laughed, the prudent elf! And wiped her brow, with moisture hot: "There runs thy friend to hang himself, Be reconciled I need thee not!"
