Faulkland Monologue from The Rivals

From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

male · anguished · 38 sec

I left you fretful and passionate--an untoward accident drew me into a quarrel--the event is, that I must fly this kingdom instantly. O Julia, had I been so fortunate as to have called you mine entirely, before this mischance had fallen on me, I should not so deeply dread my banishment!
