VI. The Marchant

       My trade doth euery thing to euery land supply,
       Discouers vnknowne coasts, strange countryes doth allye:
       I neuer did forestall, I neuer did ingrose,
       Nor custome did withdraw though I return' d with losse,
       I thriue by faire exchange, by selling and by buying, 
       And not by Iewish vse reprisall fraud or lying.
      

Sir John Davies
