Lady H Monologue from Martha; or, The Fair at Richmond

From Martha; or, The Fair at Richmond by Friedrich von[Composer] Flotow

female · anguished · 53 sec

Lionel, I am Martha, and your humble, loving servant. You know what has come to you, fortune and a splendid name. But before I knew of this, my heart repented. I was ready to go to you in your prison and claim you as my love. Then you were set free without my aid--O wretched, cruel girl that I was! Lionel, I am fairly punished for my worldly pride, my cruel impulse. But life is hard for girls. Think how they might all have scorned me if I confessed to having been a servant! But now I care for nothing--only you.
