Vansen Monologue from Egmont

From Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

male · contemplative · 38 sec

I know some for whom it would be better if, instead of their own high spirits, they had a little tailor's blood in their veins. (Carpenter: What mean you by that?) Hum! I mean the count. (Jetter: Egmont! What has he to fear?) I'm a poor devil, and could live a whole year round on what he loses in a single night; yet he would do well to give me his revenue for a twelvemonth, to have my head upon his shoulders for one quarter of an hour.
