Barabas Monologue from The Jew of Malta

From The Jew of Malta by Christopher Marlowe

male · dark · 56 sec

Do so; but fail not: now farewell, Ferneze:-- And thus far roundly goes the business: Thus, loving neither, will I live with both, Making a profit of my policy; And he from whom my most advantage comes, Shall be my friend. This is the life we Jews are us'd to lead; And reason too, for Christians do the like. Well, now about effecting this device; First, to surprise great Selim's soldiers, And then to make provision for the feast, That at one instant all things may be done: My policy detests prevention. To what event my secret purpose drives, I know; and they shall witness with their lives.
