A quote from this play about committing fornication that ends "the wench is dead" is used as the epigraph for T.S. Eliot's "The Portrait of a Lady."  "Laws were then most sure/When, like the Draco's, they were writ in blood," claims a character in this work, whose name is fittingly Machiavel. The title character sends a slave named Ithamore to kill all of the nuns in a nunnery, including his daughter Abagail, but eventually dies when he falls into his own boiling cauldron. For 10 points, name this work that may have inspired The Merchant of Venice, a play about the life of a Semite named Barabas by Christopher Marlowe
