Sosie Monologue from Amphitryon

From Amphitryon by Molière

male · comedic · 56 sec

These things are often annoying when one knows about them: I hesitate to ask her. Would it not be better not to risk anything, and to ignore what may have happened? Yet, at all hazard, I must see. I cannot help myself. Curiosity concerning things which one would rather not know is a human weakness. Heaven preserve you, Cleanthis! (CLE: Ah! Ah! You dare to come near me, you villain!) Good Heavens! What is the matter with you? You are always in a temper, and become angry about nothing! (CLE: What do you call about nothing? Speak out.) I call about nothing what is called about nothing in verse as well as in prose; and nothing, as you well know, means to say nothing, or very little.
