Elder Lo Monologue from The Scornful Lady

From The Scornful Lady by Francis Beaumont

male · defiant · 58 sec

How do you? (Wel: Why very well, if you be so.) Since a quiet mind lives not in any Woman, I shall do a most ungodly thing. Hear me one word more, which by all my hopes I will not alter, I did make an oath when you delai'd me so, that this very night I would be married. Now if you will go without delay, suddenly, as late as it is, with your own Minister to your own Chapel, I'le wed you and to bed. (Lady: A match dear servant.) For if you should forsake me now, I care not, she would not though for all her injuries, such is her spirit. If I be not ashamed to kiss her now I part, may I not live.
