From The School for Husbands by Molière

Now I know better than to hope; I yield to you, sir, and that too without a murmur. (SGAN: You do well.) Reason will have it so; for you shine with so many virtues, that I should be wrong to regard with an angry eye the tender sentiments which Isabella entertains for you. (SGAN: Of course.) Yes, yes, I yield to you; but at least I pray you,--and it is the only favour, sir, begged by a wretched lover, of whose pangs this day you are the sole cause,--I pray you, I say, to assure Isabella that, if my heart has been burning with love for her these three months, that passion is spotless, and has never fostered a thought at which her honour could be offended.
