ABSTRACT

Tlze Jew of Malta More wealth by farre then those that brag of faith. There's Kirriah Jairim, the great Jew of Greece, Obed in Bairseth, Nones in Portugall, My selfe in Malta, some in Italy, Many in France, and wealthy every one: I, wealthier farre then any Christian. I must confesse we come not to be Kings: That's not our fault: Alas, our number's few, And Crownes come either by succession, Or urg'd by force; and nothing violent, Oft have I heard tell, can be permanent. Give us a peacefull rule, make Christians Kings, That thirst so much for Principality. I have no charge, nor many children, But one sole Daughter, whom I hold as deare As Agamemnon did his Iphigen: And all I have is hers. But who comes here?
