There is a path to the trancendece of the dollar: Embark
rich beggars! Does magic bring prosperos to his knees?
Reading pretty twilight, making grass uncertain?
Oh,all that christmas snow shouldered by one birthday suit!
The fate of the world under his armpit like a thermometer?
Rejoice Villains! Your time has come.

It is not a dangerous polymorphic virus. It searches for files in current directory, then jumps to parent directories, then to DOS, then to WINDOWS, then to WINDOWS\COMMAND directories and infects up to seven .COM files in there.
On November 6 the virus also searches for *.TXT files and writes the text to the end of them:
The year 1866 was made notable by a series of bizarre
events, a chain of mysterious phenomena which have never
been explained, that I am sure no one has forgotten.
Starting from 23:00 the virus displays the message before return to the host program:
Thus ends the voyage under the seas.
The virus also contains the text strings:
*.com *.txt dos windows command ..
