Cory Monologue from Aria da Capo

From Aria da Capo by Edna St. Vincent Millay

male · contemplative · 59 sec

Man, haven't I told you I can't be bothered with a few untidy Brown sheep all full of burdocks?—I'm a merchant, That's what I am!—And I set my mind to it, I dare say I could be an emperor! Wouldn't I be a fool to spend my time Watching a flock of sheep go up a hill, When I have these to play with—when I have these To think about?—I can't make up my mind Whether to buy a city, and have a thousand Beautiful girls to bathe me, and be happy Until I die, or build a bridge, and name it The Bridge of Corydon,—and be remembered After I'm dead.
