   • 1875: The Ship in the Desert by Joaquin Miller

     Mostlike they sought his gold alone,
     And fear'd to make their quarrel known
     Lest it should keep its secret bed;
     Mostlike they thought to best prevail
     And conquer with united hands
     Alone upon the lonesome sands;
     Mostlike they had as much to dread;
     Mostlike—but I must tell my tale.
