Damis Monologue from Tartuffe

From Tartuffe by Molière

male · defiant · 59 sec

You have your own reasons for acting so, And I have reasons for my quid-pro-quo. The very thought of sparing him is a joke, And the insolent pride of this base bloke Has triumphed too often over my just wrath, And has sown too much trouble along my path. For too long that liar has ruled my old man Blocking both my love and that of Mariane. His perfidy must be brought to light of day, And for that God gives us a ready way. For this occasion I thank the good Lord; It is far too lucky to be ignored. The only way to deserve to lose it Is to have it in hand and not to use it.
