Friar Quotes in 'Tis Pity She's a Whore
O Giovanni, hast thou left the schools
Of knowledge to converse with Lust and Death?
For Death waits on thy lust. Look through the world,
And thou shalt see a thousand faces shine
More glorious than this idol thou ador’st.
All this I’ll do to free me from the rod
Of vengeance; else I’ll swear my fate’s my god.
Marriage? Why, that’s to damn her; that’s to prove
Her greedy of variety of lust.
‘Twas well done, Giovanni: thou herein
Hast shown a Christian’s care, a brother’s love.
There stands these wretched things,
Who have dreamt out whole years in lawless sheets
And secret incests, cursing one another.
Then you will wish each kiss your brother gave
Had been a dagger’s point.
My conscience now stands up against my lust
With depositions charactered in guilt,
And tells me I am lost.
