Towerf. You ne'er fhall have Occafion on my Part; the like I promife for our Faftories, while I continue here: This Ifle yields Spice enough for both; arid Europe, Ports, and Chapmen, where to vend them. Harm. Sen. It does, it does ; we have enough, if we can be contented. Towerf And, Sir, why fhou'd we not? What mean thefe endlefs Jars of Trading Nations ?' iTis true, the World was never large enough for Avarice or Ambition; but thofe who can be pleas'd with moderate Gain, may ,have the ends of Nature, not to want: Nay, even its Luxuries may be fupply'd from her o'erflowing Bounties in thefe Parts : From whence fhe yearly fends Spices, and Gums, the pood of Heaven in Sacrifice. And befides thefe, her Gems of richeft Value, for Ornament more than Neceffity. Har. Sen. You are i'th' right, we muft be very Friends, i'faith, we muft ; I have an old Dutch Heart, as true arid trufty as your Englifej Oak. Fife W e never can forget the Patronage of your Elizabeth, of Famous Memory ; when from the Yoke of Spain, and Alva's Pride, her potent Succours, and her well tim'd Bounty, freed us, and gave us Credit in the World. Towerf. For this we only ask a fair Commerce and Friendlinefs of Converfation here: And what our feveral Treaties bind us to, you fhall, while Towerfin lives, fee fo perform'd, as fits a Subjeft to an Englifej KING. Harm. Sen. Now, by m y Faith, you ask too little, Friend; we muft have more than bare Commerce betwixt us: Receive me to your Boforh, by this Beard I will never deceive you. Beam. I do not like his Oath, there's Treachery in that Judas Colour'd Beard. I Afide. Fife. Pray ufe me as your Servant. Van. Her. And me too, Captain.
