Commerce may briefly be defined : Exchange of those commodities In excess found in any place For the supply of others 1 need. It deals in products of the suil, In coal and metals from the mines. In varied work of artisan, Whose touch transforms to beauteous use ; In horse and ox, For useful toil, In beef and mutton, for our food ; And thus through distribution wide The yields of each serve needs of all. The parent state of presidents Added another branch of trade. The fancy farmers of the land ...Oft meet in fairs and cattle shows To note improvement of their stock. And prices fabulous are paid For sire or dam which shall eclipse The best of other breeds or lands. Virginia and her compeer States Turned their attention to produce — Not fancy horse, nor mammoth ox — They bred and sold their living men ! Upon the rolling broken land, Between the mountains and the sea, On tributary of Roanoke, Virginia planter lived at ease. Hundreds of acres in his lands, And scores of slaves to till the same, He raised tobacco, corn, and wheat, He kept his carriage, drank his wine, Attended church, and rode to town; His friends from town their visits made, And preachers met around his board ; And thus his days were passed away, In honor and in opulence.
