The same is true for the last line:

'Yellow beauty burns - gold' safe for the clear break before gold. So, is it:

Yellow, beauty burns - gold

Yellow beauty, burns - gold

Yellow beauty burns - gold

Three slightly different meanings - none really enlightening. Gold doesn't burn, it melts. However molten gold could certainly burn something else.
