Tartuffe Monologue

From Tartuffe by Molière

male · dark · 47 sec

I can dispel your foolish fears, madame, For I know the art of quashing each qualm. Though God forbids certain gratifications, With him one can reach one's accommodations. It is a science to stretch out the strings Of conscience in the service of diverse things And to rectify an evil action With the purity of our intention. Regarding these secrets, I shall instruct you; You need only allow me to conduct you. Satisfy my desire and have no fear; I'll assume the sin and leave your soul clear. (Elmire coughs more loudly.) That's quite a cough, madame.
