Elmire Monologue from Tartuffe

From Tartuffe by Molière

female · anguished · 42 sec

Good God, your love is too oppressive; It troubles my soul and becomes obsessive! What a crazy power it has on the heart! With what fierce passion it tears me apart! What! Is there no way to stave off your desire? Won't you give me a moment to respire? Do you think it is fair to be so firm, To demand everything and watch me squirm, To take what you want, pushing and pressing, And abusing my weakness in acquiescing?
