Can I run a MH bulb on a MV ballast?

This may be a really dumb question, but I managed to get my hands on a 100w Murcury Vapor home security light for like $5 at Goodwill, and I was wondering if I could just run a MH bulb in that fixture, or I would I need to do something special to get that to work for me? I'm tempted to just run the MV bulb that it came with, the whole thing is brand new, but from what I understand, MV is pretty outdated technology. I plan to use this setup for vegging only, I have an HPS for flowering.

Eh? I'm guessing not, I've done some research and it doesn't sound possible, but I thought I would ask just in case.
