Elder Lo Monologue from The Scornful Lady

From The Scornful Lady by Francis Beaumont

male · anguished · 48 sec

Some sin I see indeed must necessarily fall upon me, as whosoever deals with Women shall never utterly avoid it: yet I would chuse the least ill; which is to forsake you, that have done me all the abuses of a malignant Woman, contemn'd my service, and would have held me prating about Marriage, till I had been past getting of Children: then her that hath forsaken her Family, and put her tender body in my hand, upon my word-- (Lady: Which of us swore you first to?) Why to you. (Lady: Which oath is to be kept then?) I prethee do not urge my sins unto me, Without I could amend 'em.
