"Midas cried, 'Give my fingers a golden touch! / Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such.'" (Lines 3–4)
Explanation:
Greed is simply the intense desire or obsession for something which is usually money, power, or both.
Midas showed his greed in Lines 3-4 when he chose that anything his fingers touched became golden by thinking that he would be surrounded with precious gold without realizing that anyone he touched will also turn to gold. His greed led him to make that bad decision that ruined his life.
