Sir Wilfull Witwoud Monologue from The Way of the World

From The Way of the World by William Congreve

male · comedic · 45 sec

Borachio? (LADY: At a time when you should commence an amour, and put your best foot foremost—) ’Sheart, an you grutch me your liquor, make a bill.—Give me more drink, and take my purse. (Sings):— Prithee fill me the glass, Till it laugh in my face, With ale that is potent and mellow; He that whines for a lass Is an ignorant ass, For a bumper has not its fellow. But if you would have me marry my cousin, say the word, and I’ll do’t. Wilfull will do’t, that’s the word. Wilfull will do’t, that’s my crest,—my motto I have forgot.
