Question

Morocco : Bring me the fairest creature northward born.

Where Phoebus’ fire scarce thaws the icicles.

And let us make incision for your love,

To prove whose blood is reddest, his or mine.

I tell thee, lady, this aspect of mine

Hath fear’d the valiant: by my love, I swear

The best-regarded virgins of our clime

Have loved it too: I would not change this hue.

Except to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen.

Answer 1

Can you imagine a world without merchants, where we are left to our own devices to acquire goods and services without middlemen? Sounds like a harsh place to be. The sale and trade of goods defines much of the development and history of the world.
