Mercury Monologue from Amphitryon

From Amphitryon by Molière

male · sarcastic · 42 sec

Since love does not offer me any pleasure here, I will at least enjoy myself in another way, and enliven my dismal leisure by putting Amphitron out of all patience. This may not be very charitable in a God; but I shall not bother myself about that; my planet tells me I am somewhat given to malice. (AMPH: How is it that the door is closed at this hour?) Hullo! Gently, gently! Who knocks? (AMPH: Ah! Open.) What do you mean by 'open'? Who are you, pray, to make such a row, and speak like that?
