Calymath Monologue from The Jew of Malta

From The Jew of Malta by Christopher Marlowe

male · contemplative · 38 sec

Thus have we view'd the city, seen the sack, And caus'd the ruins to be new-repair'd, Which with our bombards' shot and basilisk We rent in sunder at our entry: And, now I see the situation, And how secure this conquer'd island stands, Environ'd with the Mediterranean sea, Strong-countermin'd with other petty isles, And, toward Calabria, back'd by Sicily , Two lofty turrets that command the town, I wonder how it could be conquer'd thus.
