“Degenerate trade, whose minions could despise

The heart-born anguish of a thousand cries;

Could lock with impious hands its teaming stores,

Whilst famished nations died along its shores;

Could mock the groans of fellow men, and bear

The curse of kingdoms peopled with despair;

Could stamp disgrace on man’s polluted name,

And barter with their gold eternal shame.”—Campbell.
