Read the poem "bacchus's regret" by hunter doyle and answer the question.

[1] king midas returned my beloved teacher to me,
so i rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be.
midas cried, "give my fingers a golden touch!
then, i shall have a gilded kingdom and such."

[5] i tried to make him see the err of his choice,
but he would not heed the caution in my voice.
i pleaded with midas, "be careful what you choose,
for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose."

[9] his thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite;
after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite.
his daughter wept for her poor starving dad,
so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad.

[13] into a golden statue midas's daughter became,
and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame.
yet, maybe if i had put up more of a fight and a fret,
then i wouldn't have to live with all this regret.

select the line that best supports the theme greed can have negative consequences.
