from The Jew of Malta
Content, but we will leave this paltry land,
And sail from hence to Greece, to lovely Greece;
I'll be thy Jason, thou my golden fleece;
Where painted carpets o'er the meads are hurled
And Bacchus's vineyards o'er-spread the world,
Where woods and forests go in goodly green,
I'll be Adonis, thou shalt be Love's Queen;
The meads, the orchards, and the primrose lanes
Instead of sedge and reed bear sugar-canes;
Thou in those groves, by Dis above,
Shalt live with me and be my love.
– Christopher Marlowe (first published 1633)
(Ithamore, a Machiavellian Turkish slave, addresses this ironic romantic pledge to Bellamira, a greedy urban courtesan, as the two plot to overthrow Ithamore's master, Barabas)
