Marquis De Posa Monologue from Don Carlos: A Play

From Don Carlos: A Play by Friedrich Schiller

male · dramatic · 57 sec

Perhaps I can, But then the means are dangerous as the evil-- Rash as despair--and yet I know no other. (QUEEN: Name them.) To you, and you alone, my queen, Will I reveal them; for from you alone, Carlos will hear them named without a shudder. The name they bear is somewhat harsh. (QUEEN: Rebellion!) He must prove faithless to the king, and fly With secrecy to Brussels, where the Flemings Wait him with open arms. The Netherlands Will rise at his command. Our glorious cause From the king's son will gather matchless strength, The Spanish throne shall tremble at his arms, And what his sire denied him in Madrid, That will he willingly concede in Brussels.
