The Works of Christopher Marlowe

The Jew of Malta

Act: 1 Scene: 2

I, and of a moving spirit too, brother; but come,

Let us intreat she may be entertain'd.

Act: 3 Scene: 6

The Abbasse sent for me to be confest:

Oh what a sad confession will there be?

What, all dead save onely Abigall?

Oh he is gone to see the other Nuns.

What then?

Yes, what of them?

So, say how was their end?

Oh monstrous villany.

Know that Confession must not be reveal'd,

The Canon Law forbids it, and the Priest

That makes it knowne, being degraded first,

Shall be condemn'd, and then sent to the fire.

I, and a Virgin too, that grieves me most:

But I must to the Jew and exclaime on him,

And make him stand in feare of me.

Enter 1. Fryar.

First helpe to bury this, then goe with me

And helpe me to exclaime against the Jew.

A thing that makes me tremble to unfold.

No, but a worse thing: 'twas told me in shrift,

Thou know'st 'tis death and if it be reveal'd.

Come let's away.

Act: 4 Scene: 1

Stay wicked Jew, repent, I say, and stay.

Barabas, thou hast—

Thou art a—

Thy daughter—

Remember that—

Thou hast committed—

I, but Barabas, remember Mathias and Don Lodowick.

I will not say that by a forged challenge they met.

Oh no, good Barabas come to our house.

And Barabas, you know—

Good Barabas, come to me.

I'le be with you to night.

Why goe, get you away.

Not? then I'le make thee, rogue.

What, doe you meane to strangle me?

What, will you have my life?
