Face Monologue from The Alchemist

From The Alchemist by Ben Jonson

male · comedic · 46 sec

Sir, you were wont to affect mirth and wit-- But here's no place to talk on't in the street. Give me but leave to make the best of my fortune, And only pardon me the abuse of your house: It's all I beg. I'll help you to a widow, In recompence, that you shall give me thanks for, Will make you seven years younger, and a rich one. 'Tis but your putting on a Spanish cloak: I have her within. You need not fear the house; It was not visited.
