Murphey.

Ay, any Thing to get an honest Living,

Which 'faith I find it hard enough to do;

Times are so dull, and Traders are so plenty,

That Gains are small, and Profits come but slow.

M'Dole.

M'Dole.

Are you experienc'd in this kind of Trade?

Know you the Principles by which it prospers,

And how to make it lucrative and safe?

If not, you're like a Ship without a Rudder,

That drives at random, and must surely sink.

Murphey.

Murphey.

I'm unacquainted with your Indian Commerce,

And gladly would I learn the Arts from you,

Who're old, and practis'd in them many Years.

M'Dole.

M'Dole.
