Goods Well Bought, Are Half Sold

“At a low price these goods this man hath bought, / ‘Pay as you go,’ so he’s been early taught: / By buying cheap, he thus can sell the same / At a low price, and thus a profit gain; / But he that always buys his goods on trust, / Pays prices more, and interest large he must, / But he that buys for cash, is truly told / Goods well and cheaply bought, and thus half sold."—Barber, 1857
