"_Julia._ I have heard enough of England: have you nothing

to return upon the Netherlands?

"_Beamont._ Faith, very little to any purpose. He has been

beforehand with us, _as his countrymen are in

their Trade_, and taken up so many vices for the

use of England, that he has left almost none for

the Low Countries."

Dryden's _Dutch at Amboyna_, Act II. Sc. 8.

"_Towerson._ Tell 'em I seal that service with my blood;

And, dying, wish to all their factories,

And all the famous merchants of our isle,

That wealth their generous industry deserves,

But dare not hope it with _Dutch partnership_."

_Ibid._ Act V. Sc. last.
