Hedwig Monologue from Wilhelm Tell

From Wilhelm Tell by Friedrich Schiller

female · defiant · 52 sec

(turning to him and gazing full upon him). Hast thou tears only for thy friend's distress? Say, where were you when he--my noble Tell-- Was bound in chains? Where was your friendship then? The shameful wrong was done before your eyes; Patient you stood, and let your friend be dragg'd, Ay, from your very hands. Did ever Tell Act thus to you? Did he stand whining by, When on your heels the Viceroy's horsemen press'd, And full before you roared the storm-toss'd lake? Oh, not with idle tears his pity show'd; Into the boat he sprang, forgot his home, His wife, his children, and delivered thee!
