But warmer suns, that southern zones Emblaze, A cool thin umbrage o'er their woodland raise; Floridia's shores their blooms around him spread.
"The Columbiad"

Tho rich Brazilian strands, beneath the tide, Their shells of pearl and sparkling pebbles hide, While for the gaudy prize a venturous train Plunge the dark deep and brave the surging main, Drag forth the shining gewgaws into air, To stud a sceptre or Emblaze a star; Far wealthier stores these genial tides display, And works less dangerous with their spoils repay.
