Barabas Monologue from The Jew of Malta

From The Jew of Malta by Christopher Marlowe

male · dark · 1:12 min

What, Abigail become a nun again! False and unkind! what, hast thou lost thy father? And, all unknown and unconstrain'd of me, Art thou again got to the nunnery? Now here she writes, and wills me to repent: Repentance! Spurca! what pretendeth this? I fear she knows--'tis so--of my device In Don Mathias' and Lodovico's deaths: If so, 'tis time that it be seen into; For she that varies from me in belief, Gives great presumption that she loves me not, Or, loving, doth dislike of something done.-- But who comes here? O Ithamore, come near; Come near, my love; come near, thy master's life, My trusty servant, nay, my second self; For I have now no hope but even in thee, And on that hope my happiness is built. When saw'st thou Abigail?
