I will give brainliest if right!!

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.
