AS CONCERNING SHIPS
It is that which everyone knoweth and can say
They are our Weapons They are our Armaments They are our Strength They are our Pleasures They are our Defence They are our Profit The Subject by them is made rich The Kingdom through them, strong The Prince in them is mighty In a word: By them in a manner we live The Kingdom is, the King reigneth.
(From The Trades Increase, London, 1615)
