Only a few industrious Scots perhaps, who indeed are dispersed over
the face of the whole earth. But as for them, there are no greater
friends to Englishmen and England, when they are out on 't, in the
world, than they are. And for my own part, I would a hundred thousand
of them were there [Virginia]; for we are all one countrymen now,
ye know, and we should find ten times more comfort of them there than
we do here.
-- George Chapman (1557-1634)
-- Eastward Ho, Act iii, Sc. 2
