Leander Monologue from The Blunderer

From The Blunderer by Molière

All your actions, from beginning to end. (LEL: This is all Greek to me; I do not understand one word of it.) Pretend, if you please, not to understand me; but believe me, do not apprehend that I shall take a property which I should be sorry to dispute with you. I adore a beauty who has not been sullied, and do not wish to love a depraved woman. (LEL: Gently, gently, Leander.) Oh! how credulous you are! I tell you once more, you may attend on her now without suspecting anybody. You may call yourself a lady-killer. It is true, her beauty is very uncommon, but, to make amends for that, the rest is common enough.
