The Works of Christopher Marlowe

The Jew of Malta

Act: 2 Scene: 1

Now have I happily espy'd a time

To search the plancke my father did appoint;

And here behold (unseene) where I have found

The gold, the perles, and Jewels which he hid.

Now that my fathers fortune were so good

As but to be about this happy place;

'Tis not so happy: yet when we parted last,

He said he wud attend me in the morne.

Then, gentle sleepe, where e're his bodie rests,

Give charge to Morpheus that he may dreame

A golden dreame, and of the sudden walke,

Come and receive the Treasure I have found.

Who's that?

Then father here receive thy happinesse.

Here,

Throwes downe bags.

Hast thou't?

There's more, and more, and more.

Father, it draweth towards midnight now,

And 'bout this time the Nuns begin to wake;

To shun suspition, therefore, let us part.
