Lelio Monologue from The Blunderer

From The Blunderer by Molière

male · anguished · 43 sec

Ah! do not show such indifference, but be a little more indulgent to my slight imprudence. Had this last misfortune not happened, you would have confessed that I did wonders, and that in this pretended decease I deceived everybody, and counterfeited grief so admirably that the most sharp-sighted would have been taken in. (MASC: Truly you have great reason to boast.) Oh! I am to blame, and I am willing to acknowledge it; but if ever you cared for my happiness, repair this mishap, and help me. (MASC: I kiss your hands, I cannot spare the time.) Mascarille, my dear boy!
