Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corrupt

Summary

In this quote, the term "blest paper-credit" refers to the use of credit in financial transactions. The phrase "last and best supply" implies that credit is the ideal and most effective means of conducting economic exchanges. The line "That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!" suggests that the availability of credit makes it easier for corrupt practices to thrive. This may be because the intangible nature of credit allows for a certain level of anonymity and manipulation, enabling immoral actions to be carried out more swiftly and evasively.
