From Monsieur De Pourceaugnac by Molière

male · comedic · 57 sec

You can't think what has happened to me in that house where you took me. (SBRI: No! What has happened?) I thought I should be well feasted there. (SBRI: Well?) I leave you in this gentleman's hands. Doctors dressed in black. In a chair. Feel the pulse. In proof of what I say. He is mad. Two big, fat-faced fellows, with large-brimmed hats. Buon dì, buon dì. Six pantaloons. Ta, ra, ta, toi, ta, ra, ta, ta, toi. (Allegramente, Monsu Pourceaugnac.) Take, Sir; take, take. It is gentle, gentle, gentle. Piglialo sù, Signor Monsu; piglialo, piglialo sù. I never was so surfeited with absurdities in all my life.
