Cleante Monologue from Tartuffe

From Tartuffe by Molière

male · philosophical · 47 sec

I think you are making up excuses, And your arguments, monsieur, seem like ruses. Must you assume the role of the Deity? Does He need us to punish the guilty? Leave it to Him to take care of vengeance; He bids us to forgive every offense And not to consider human judgments When we follow God's sovereign commandments. What? Should the petty fear of what some may say Prevent you from doing this good deed today? No, let us always follow God's commands, And leave all other matters in His hands.
