Lady Milford Monologue from Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy

From Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

female · defiant · 1:05 min

This alliance with the major--you, like the rest of the world, believe to be the result of a court intrigue--Sophy, blush not--be not ashamed of me--it is the work of--my love! (SOPHY: Heavens! As I suspected!) Yes, Sophy, they are all deceived. The weak prince--the diplomatic baron--the silly marshal--each and all of these are firmly convinced that this marriage is a most infallible means of preserving me to the prince, and of uniting us still more firmly! But this will prove the very means of separating us forever, and bursting asunder these execrable bonds. The cheater cheated--outwitted by a weak woman. Ye yourselves are leading me to the man of my heart--this was all I sought. Let him but once be mine--be but mine--then, oh, then, a long farewell to all this despicable pomp!
