Francis Monologue from The Robbers

From The Robbers by Friedrich Schiller

male · anguished · 55 sec

Wilt thou sorrow, then, forever? Let the dead sleep in peace, and do thou make the living happy! I come-- (AMELIA: And when do you go again?) Alas! Look not on me thus sorrowfully! You wound me, Amelia. I come to tell you-- (AMELIA: To tell me, I suppose, that Francis von Moor has become lord and master here.) Precisely so; that is the very subject on which I wish to communicate with you. Maximilian von Moor is gone to the tomb of his ancestors. I am master. But I wish--to be so in the fullest sense, Amelia. You know what you have been to our house always regarded as Moor's daughter, his love for you will survive even death itself; that, assuredly, you will never forget?
