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 prompt bad decisions.
