Monologue

Alva Monologue from Egmont

From Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Such being your sentiments, it were a vain attempt for us to endeavour to agree. You must indeed think poorly of the king, and contemptibly of his counsellors, if you imagine that everything has not already been thought of and maturely weighed. I have no commission a second time to balance conflicting arguments. From the people I demand submission;--and from you, their leaders and princes, I demand counsel and support, as pledges of this unconditional duty.
