Who saw a little state Unique in the world That spends one hundred But collects fifty?
... That feeds all the lazy and has seven Prime Ministers Cashier without money and so much glory in memory?
Having clerks as guards, Who openly steal you And while they are stealing you They are looking for the thief?
****** Thieves poor but also with mansions and carriages and horses, Thieves without a forearm of land and thieves with palaces, One steals chickens and wooden tubs for bread The other steals the whole nation for wealth and glory ***** Part of a poem written by G. Souris, about the Greek state bankruptcy in 1894!

Who saw a little state
EliminaUnique in the world
That spends one hundred
But collects fifty?
... That feeds all the lazy
and has seven Prime Ministers
Cashier without money
and so much glory in memory?
Having clerks as guards,
Who openly steal you
And while they are stealing you
They are looking for the thief?
******
Thieves poor but also with mansions and carriages and horses,
Thieves without a forearm of land and thieves with palaces,
One steals chickens and wooden tubs for bread
The other steals the whole nation for wealth and glory
