Leander Monologue from The Blunderer

From The Blunderer by Molière

male · romantic · 48 sec

If at first I thought this girl amiable, I now find her absolutely adorable, and I am in doubt whether I ought not to employ extreme measures to make her my own, thwart her ill fortune by plighting her my troth, and turn her present chains into matrimonial ones. (MASC: Would you marry her?) I am not yet determined, but if her origin is somewhat obscure, her charms and her virtue are gentle attractions, which have incredible force to allure every heart. (MASC: Did you not mention her virtue?) Ha! what is that you mutter? Out with it; explain what you mean by repeating that word "virtue."
