From Tartuffe by Molière

female · sarcastic · 53 sec

No, no, not at all. I'm wrong to forestall Your marriage to Tartuffe, and my defiance Is apparent in barring that alliance. What reason have I for my outrageous Attempt to stop something so advantageous? Tartuffe! Oh! Isn't he something to behold? Surely Tartuffe is not made from such a mold, If rightly viewed, as to make a person laugh; 'Twould be an honor to be his better half. The whole world already crowns him with glory;-- Both in physique and character he's laudatory; He has red ears and a florid, flushing face With him for a mate you'd live in joyful grace.
