Than be the causers of their misery.”

“BARABAS: As for myself, I walk abroad a-nights,
And kill sick people groaning under walls.
Sometimes I go about and poison wells;
And now and then, to cherish Christian thieves,
I am content to lose some of my crowns,
That I may, walking in my gallery,
See 'em go pinion'd along by my door.
Being young, I studied physic, and began
To practice first upon the Italian;
There I enrich'd the priests with burials,
And always kept the sexton's arms in ure
With digging graves and ringing dead men's knells.
And, after that, was I an engineer,
And in the wars 'twixt France and Germany,
Under pretence of helping Charles the Fifth,
Slew friend and enemy with my stratagems:
Then, after that, was I an usurer,
And with extorting, cozening, forfeiting,
And tricks belonging unto brokery,
I fill'd the gaols with bankrupts in a year,
And with young orphans planted hospitals;
And every moon made some or other mad,
And now and then one hang himself for grief,
Pinning upon his breast a long great scroll
How I with interest tormented him.
But mark how I am blest for plaguing them:
I have as much coin as will buy the town.”

“BARABAS: Things past recovery
Are hardly cur'd with exclamations.
Be silent, daughter; sufferance breeds ease,
And time may yield us an occasion,
Which on the sudden cannot serve the turn.”

“لم احصل لنفسي على مكان بسيط او سلطه صغيره بهذه الخطه لكنني الان حاكم مالطا صحيح ولكن ملطا تكرهني وفي كرهها يكمن الخطر على حياتي وما يزيدك كرها يا باراباس المسكين هو انك الحاكم الان ومتى ستصبح حياتك تحت تصرفهم كلا يابرباس يجب ان تاخذ ذلك بعين الاعتبار وبما انك حصلت على السلطه ظلما عليك ان تحافظ عليها بشجاعه وسياسه ثابته وعلى الاقل لا تخسرها دون فائده لان الذي يعيش في السلطه دون اصدقاء او مال كثير يعيش كالحمار الذي يتحدث عنه ايوب فهو يتعب بحمل الخبز والخمر ويوقعهم لياكل شوك الحقول ولكن يا باراباس سيكون اكثر ذكاء وسيبدا في الحال فالفرصه تقوي ان مضت فلا تدع الفرصه تفلت منك فمن يبحث عن الكثير عليه ان يخاف من التاخير”
