The Life of Man by JOHN ARDEN
* I'm Captain Jonas Anthract. There's most of ye will have heard of me. I don't need to tell ye what sort of man I am. Ye don't need to tell me what sort of men you are. I know. Ye're the scum and sweepings of the Western Ocean, ye're all a desolation of drunkards and idle, thieving, ungodly swine: and I'm going to make ye weep tears of blood, thereby fulfilling the Commandments of the Lord.'
