Miller Monologue from Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy

From Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

male · anguished · 57 sec

Oh, leave us, leave us, baron! If but one spark of humanity still linger in your bosom;--if you seek not utterly to destroy her whom you profess to love, fly from this house, stay not one moment longer. The blessing of God deserted us when your foot first crossed its threshold. You have brought misery under a roof where all before was joy and happiness. Are you not yet content? Do you seek to deepen the wound which your fatal passion has planted in the heart of my only child? (FERDINAND: Strange father, I have come to bring joyful tidings to your daughter.) Perchance fresh hopes, to add to her despair. Away, away, thou messenger of ill! Thy looks belie thy words.
