Of trade, and useful products, to exchange
For woolly vestures? * * *

A day will come, if not too deep we drink
The cup which luxury, on careless wealth,
Pernicious gift! bestows. A day will come,
When, through new channels sailing, we shall clothe
The Californian coast, and all the realms
That stretch from Anian’s straits to proud Japan.
Dyer’s Fleece, 1700–1758.
