Note: A printed version of this work is also available

Author: John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester

About: The most obscene play ever written. Rochester, a member of the court of Charles II of the England, had a rep as the most outre sexual deviant of his day.

The drama gives us Sodom's king, Bolloxinion, his wife Cuntigratia, their children, generals, ministers and servants engaging in an impossibly wide series of activities, (hook being that *traditional* sex was abandoned, by edict...)

Additional: The actor Johnny Depp is set to play Rochester in a film dubbed "The Libertine" sometime later this year. Mr. Depp is also our first choice to portray Girodias.

Excerpt:

PRICKET

I am a stranger to these unknown parts

And never vers'd in Loves obliging arts:

Pray, guide me, I was ne'er this way before.

SWIVIA

There, can't you enter? Now you've found the door.

PRICKET

Now I am in, and 't is as soft as wool.

SWIVIA

Then move it up and down, you little fool.

PRICKET

I do, o he..ens, I am at my wits' end.

SWIVIA

Is 't not such pleasure as I did commend?

PRICKET

Yes. I find Cunt a most obliging friend

Speak to me sister ere my soul depart.

SWIVIA

I cannot speak, you've stabb'd me to the heart.

PRICKET

I faint, I can't one moment more survive,

I am dead——

SWIVIA

Oh, Brother, but... Alive

And why should you lie dead, to increase my pain,

Kiss me, dear rogue, and thou shalt live again;

Your Love grows cold, now you can do no more,

I love You better, than I did before.——

Prithee be kind——

PRICKET

Swie, I did lately dream,

That thro my Prick there flow*d a mighty stream

Which to the eye, seem'd like the whites of Eggs.

SWIVIA

I dreamt too, that it ran betwixt my Legs.

PRICKET

What makes this Pearl upon my Pintle's snout?

SWIVIA

Sir you fuckt lately now your dream's out.
