Francis Monologue from The Robbers

From The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller

male · defiant · 49 sec

Ha! how that elder son would recompense thee! How he would raise thee from this grovelling condition, so ill suited to thy spirit and noble birth, to be a light of the age!--Then shouldst thou be covered with gold from head to foot, and dash through the streets four in hand--verily thou shouldst!--But I am losing sight of what I meant to say.--Have you already forgotten the Lady Amelia, Hermann? (HERMANN: A curse upon it! Why do you remind me of her?) My brother has filched her away from you. (HERMANN: He shall rue it.) She gave you the sack. And, if I remember right, he kicked you down stairs.
