Seven Deadly Sins ― Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus English Dramas
WRATH
I am Wrath. I had neither father nor mother: I leaped out of a lion's mouth when I was scarce half an hour old, and ever since I have run up and down the world, with this case of rapiers, wounding myself when I had nobody to fight withal. I was born in hell - and look to it, for some of you shall be my father.”
PRIDE
I am Pride. I disdain to have any parents. I am like to Ovid's flea; I can creep
into every corner of a wench; sometimes, like a perriwig, I sit upon her brow;
or, like a fan of feathers, I kiss her lips; indeed, I do--what do I not? But, fie,
what a scent is here! I'll not speak another word, except the ground were
perfumed, and covered with cloth of arras.
COVETOUSNESS.
I am Covetousness, begotten of an old churl, in an old leathern bag: and,
might I have my wish, I would desire that this house and all the people in it
were turned to gold, that I might lock you up in my good chest: O, my sweet
gold!
GLUTTONY.
Who I, sir? I am Gluttony. My parents are all dead, and the devil a penny
they have left me, but a bare pension, and that is thirty meals a-day and ten
bevers,--a small trifle to suffice nature. O, I come of a royal parentage! my
grandfather was a Gammon of Bacon, my grandmother a Hogshead of
Claret-wine; my godfathers were these, Peter Pickle-herring and Martin
Martlemas-beef; O, but my godmother, she was a jolly gentlewoman, and
well-beloved in every good town and city; her name was Mistress Margery
March-beer. Now, Faustus, thou hast heard all my progeny; wilt thou bid me
to supper?
ENVY.
I am Envy, begotten of a chimney-sweeper and an oyster-wife. I cannot read,
and therefore wish all books were burnt. I am lean with seeing others eat. O,
that there would come a famine through all the world, that all might die, and
I live alone! then thou shouldst see how fat I would be. But must thou sit,
and I stand? come down, with a vengeance!
SLOTH.
I am Sloth. I was begotten on a sunny bank, where I have lain ever since; and
you have done me great injury to bring me from thence: let me be carried
thither again by Gluttony and Lechery. I'll not speak another word for a
king's ransom.
LECHERY.
Who I, sir? I am one that loves an inch of raw mutton better than an ell of
fried stock-fish; and the first letter of my name begins with L.
