Sganarelle Monologue from Sganarelle, or, the Self-Deceived Husband

From Sganarelle, or, the Self-Deceived Husband by Molière

male · anguished · 45 sec

Alas! madam, it is not I who am acquainted with him; it is my wife. (CEL: What emotion thus disturbs your mind?) Do not blame me; I have sufficient cause for my sorrow; permit me to breathe plenty of sighs. (CEL: What can be the reason of this uncommon grief?) If I am sad it is not for a trifle: I challenge other people not to grieve, if they found themselves in my condition. You see in me the model of unhappy husbands. Poor Sganarelle's honour is taken from him; but the loss of my honour would be small--they deprive me of my reputation also.
