Col Manly Monologue from The Contrast

From The Contrast by Royall Tyler

male · contemplative · 46 sec

Forgive me, my sister. I love my country; it has its foibles undoubtedly;--some foreigners will with pleasure remark them--but such remarks fall very ungracefully from the lips of her citizens. (DIMPLE: You are perfectly in the right, Colonel--America has her faults.) Yes, sir; and we, her children, should blush for them in private, and endeavour, as individuals, to reform them. But, if our country has its errors in common with other countries, I am proud to say America--I mean the United States--have displayed virtues and achievements which modern nations may admire, but of which they have seldom set us the example.
