Trade : BuyTrade is the exchange of goods or services among two or more parties. In its original form trade had to be negotiated through barter and the exchange of goods and services of a recognized equal value that was wanted by both parties. Modern trade is generally negotiated through the use of a medium of exchange, i.e. money, and rarely through barter: as a result one can separate buying and earning or selling. The invention of money greatly simplified and promoted the development of trade.

Like virtue.html">Virtue, stately in calamity,
Is made to fly before the pack, that straight
You say their cry is harmony; and yet
When I bethink me what it sounds to his;
Of the once merry forester!
Nev. The same things
We take of them. Some smile at their own death,
It kills to look upon. But you, who take
You hunt.html">hunt more costly game?--the comely maid,
Of her rich beauty.html">beauty gives! Were rule to go
Or city, lady might not fitly serve
Why show you ruth where there's least argument,
Oh, Master Waller, where we use to hunt
You prosper in your chase.
Wal. Not so! The maid
A miracle of virtue, well as beauty.
Nev. And well do I believe you, Master Waller;
But for a minute of her ear--the boon
And come off bootless, save the haughty scorn
Is she so very fair?
Nev. Yes, Master Trueworth;
But love.html">love.html">Love's the coin to market with for love,
Of sneaking kindness for gay Widow Green,
To whom a glance or word avails to hint
Do only serve to whet the wish to see.html">see -
So stintingly that's told. I know his practice -
You merit.html">merit it, who take the way to win!
Wal. Good Master Neville!
True. I should laugh to see
Turn out a wife.
Nev. How say you, Master Waller?
If thou'rt in love! Where merit lies itself,
Is not the worth of so much breath as it takes
She is all you could expect of gentle blood,
To lady more behoves--thoughts delicate,
Perfectionating, brightening crown of all! -
What does she lack that's title to thy hand?
But may belong without? Thou mightst do worse
