VI. The Marchant.

My trade doth euery thing to euery land supply,
Discouers, vnknowne crafts, 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, selling and by buying,
And not by Iewish vse, and Reprisall fraud or lying.
