Acres Monologue from The Rivals

From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

male · comedic · 44 sec

Ah! you joke--ha! ha! mischief--ha! ha! but you know I am not my own property, my dear Lydia has forestalled me. She could never abide me in the country, because I used to dress so badly--but odds frogs and tambours! I shan't take matters so here, now ancient madam has no voice in it: I'll make my old clothes know who's master. I shall straightway cashier the hunting-frock, and render my leather breeches incapable. My hair has been in training some time.
