Wellenberg Monologue from The Lawyers, A Drama in Five Acts

From The Lawyers, A Drama in Five Acts by August Wilhelm Iffland

male · defiant · 50 sec

I am forced, by necessity, to go in quest of you, Sir; the suit of the poor orphans-- (P. Coun: Is determined; the will is confirmed.) I know. (Pulls out a paper.) This is the decree. The oftener I peruse it, and the longer I consider it, the more it resembles a poor chest forced open, beat to pieces, and in the end carried off. (P. Coun: You grow impertinent, Sir.) No, most honoured Sir! but I am filled with spirit and courage, like an old trusty servant, armed with perseverance and justice in the cause of the orphan, which calls aloud to heaven for redress. That I am, and that you will find me.
