Ari Monologue from The Magnificent Lovers (Les Amants magnifiques)

From The Magnificent Lovers (Les Amants magnifiques) by Molière

female · contemplative · 51 sec

Such trifles may agreeably engage the thoughts of the most serious people. Indeed, my daughter, you have cause to be thankful to these princes, and you can never repay all the trouble they take for you. (ERI: I am deeply grateful for it, Madam.) And yet you make them languish a long time for what they expect from you. I have promised not to constrain you; but their love claims from you a declaration that you should not put off any longer the reward of their attentions. I had asked Sostratus to sound your heart, but I do not know if he has begun to acquit himself of his commission.
