Egmont Monologue

From Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

male · contemplative · 41 sec

And you? (Jetter: A tailor.) I remember, you were employed upon the liveries of my people. Your name is Jetter. (Jetter: To think of your grace remembering it!) I do not easily forget any one whom I have seen or conversed with. Do what you can, good people, to keep the peace; you stand in bad repute enough already. Provoke not the king still farther. The power, after all, is in his hands. An honest burgher, who maintains himself industriously, has everywhere as much freedom as he wants.
