that tossed me long, doubling the Cape, and all the sultry
heats, in passing twice the Line: For now I have you here, methinks
this happiness should not be bought at a less price.

_Har. Jun._ I'll leave you with your friends; my duty binds me to
hasten to receive a father's blessing. [_Exit_ HARMAN _Junior._

_Beam._ You are so much a friend, that I must tax you for being a
slack lover. You have not yet enquired of Isabinda.

_Tow._ No; I durst not, friend, I durst not. I love too well, and fear
to know my doom; there's hope in doubt; but yet I fixed my eyes on
yours, I looked with earnestness, and asked with them: If aught of ill
had happened, sure I had met it there; and since, methinks, I did not,
I have now recovered courage, and resolve to urge it from you.

_Beam._ Your Isabinda then--

_Tow._ You have said all in that, my Isabinda, if she still be so.

_Beam._ Enjoys as much of health, as fear for you, and sorrow for your
absence, would permit. [_Music within._

_Col._ Hark, music I think approaching.

_Beam._ 'Tis from our factory; some sudden entertainment I believe,
designed for your return.

_Enter Amboyners, Men and Women, with Timbrels before them. A
Dance._

_After the Dance,_

_Enter_ HARMAN _Senior,_ HARMAN _Junior,_ FISCAL, _and_ VAN HERRING.

_Har. Sen._ [_Embracing_ TOWERSON.] O my sworn brother, my dear
captain Towerson! the man whom I love better than a stiff gale, when I
am becalmed at sea; to whom I have received the sacrament, never to be
false-hearted.

_Tow._ You ne'er shall have occasion on my part: The like I promise
for our factories, while I continue here: This isle yields spice
enough for both; and Europe, ports, and chapmen, where to vend them.

_Har. Sen._ It does, it does; we have enough, if we can be contented.

_Tow._ And, sir, why should we not? What mean these endless jars of
trading nations? 'Tis true, the world was never large enough for
avarice or ambition; but those who can be pleased with moderate gain,
may have the ends of nature, not to want: Nay, even its luxuries may
be supplied from her o'erflowing bounties in these parts; from whence
she yearly sends spices and gums, the food of heaven in sacrifice:
And, besides these, her gems of the richest value, for ornament, more
than necessity.

_Har. Sen._ You are i'the right; we must be very friends, i'faith we
must; I have an old Dutch heart, as true and trusty as
