all the time the tone would change�察�But now the proof's been carried far 

enough�察�I'm satisfied�察�and ask no more�察�for my part。

no use to turn To these low tricks�察�to pick a quarrel with me�察�And that you 

can't insult me at your pleasure�察�For I have wherewith to confound your 

lies�察�Avenge offended Heaven�察�and compel Those to repent who talk to me 

of leaving。

       ELMIRE What sort of speech is this�拭�What can it mean�拭�

    ORGON My faith�察�I'm dazed。 This is no laughing matter。 

    ELMIRE What�拭�

    ORGON From his words I see my great mistake�察�The deed of gift is 

one thing troubles me。 

    ELMIRE The deed of gift 。 。 。 

    ORGON Yes�察  �that   is   past   recall。   But   I've   another   thing   to   make   me 

anxious。 

    ELMIRE What's that�拭�

    ORGON You shall know all。 Let's see at once Whether a certain box is 

still upstairs。

       CLEANTE Whither away so fast�拭�

     ORGON How should I know�拭�

     CLEANTE Methinks we should begin by taking counsel To see what 

can be done to meet the case。 

     ORGON I'm all worked up about that wretched box。 More than all else 

it drives me to despair。 

     CLEANTE That box must hide some mighty mystery�拭�

     ORGON Argas�察�my friend who is in trouble�察�brought it Himself�察�most 

secretly�察�and left it with me。 He chose me�察�in his exile�察�for this trust�察�And 

on   these   documents�察  �from   what   he   said�察  �I   judge   his   life   and   property 

depend。 

     CLEANTE How could you trust them to another's hands�拭�

     ORGON By reason of a conscientious scruple。 I went straight to my 

traitor�察�to confide In him�察�his sophistry made me believe That I must give 

the box to him to keep�察�So that�察�in case of search�察�I might deny My having 

it   at   all�察  �and   still�察  �by   favour   Of   this   evasion�察  �keep   my   conscience   clear 

Even in taking oath against the truth。 

     CLEANTE Your case is bad�察�so far as I can see�察�This deed of gift�察�this 

trusting of the secret To him�察�were bothto state my frank opinion Steps 

that   you   took too   lightly�察  �he   can lead   you To   any  length�察 �with   these   for 

hostages�察�And since he holds you at such disadvantage�察�You'd be still more 

imprudent�察�to provoke him�察�So you must go some gentler way about。 

     ORGON What�   �Can   a soul   so   base�察 �a  heart   so   false�察  �Hide   neath   the 

semblance       of  such   touching    fervour�拭   �I  took   him    in�察 �a  vagabond�察    �a 

beggar�  � 。 。 'Tis too much� �No more pious folk for me� �I shall abhor them 

utterly forever�察�And henceforth treat them worse than any devil。 

     CLEANTE So� �There you go again�察�quite off the handle� �In nothing do 

you   keep   an   even   temper。   You   never   know   what   reason   is�察  �but   always 

Jump first to one extreme�察�and then the other。 You see your error�察�and you 

recognise   That   you've   been   cozened   by   a   feigned   zeal�察  �But   to   make   up 

for't�察�in the name of reason�察�Why should you plunge into a worse mistake�察�

And find   no difference in   character   Between   a   worthless   scamp�察  �and   all

good people�拭�What� �Just because a rascal boldly duped you With pompous 

show of false austerity�察�Must you needs have it everybody's like him�察�And 

no one's truly pious nowadays�拭�Leave such conclusions to mere infidels�察�

Distinguish virtue from its counterfeit�察�Don't give esteem too quickly�察�at a 

venture�察�But try to keep�察�in this�察�the golden mean。 If you can help it�察�don't 

uphold   imposture�察  �But   do   not   rail   at   true   devoutness�察  �either�察�And  if   you 

must fall into one extreme�察�Then rather err again the other way。

many benefits received�察�And in his base abominable pride Make of your 

very favours arms against you�拭�

    ORGON Too true�察�my son。 It tortures me to think on't。 

    DAMIS   Let   me   alone�察  �I'll   chop   his   ears   off   for   him。   We   must   deal 

roundly with his insolence�察�'Tis I must free you from him at a blow�察�'Tis I�察�

to set things right�察�must strike him down。 

    CLEANTE Spoke like a true young man。 Now just calm down�察�And 

moderate your towering tantrums�察�will you�拭�We live in such an age�察�with 

such a king�察�That violence can not advance our cause。

ELMIRE�察�CLEANTE�察�MARIANE�察�DAMIS�察�DORINE 



      MADAME PERNELLE What's this�拭�I hear of fearful mysteries� �

    ORGON Strange things indeed�察�for my own eyes to witness�察�You see 

how I'm requited for my kindness�察�I zealously receive a wretched beggar�察�I 

lodge   him�察  �entertain   him   like   my   brother�察  �Load   him   with   benefactions 

every    day�察 �Give  him   my   daughter�察 �give  him   all  my  fortune�此 �And   he 

meanwhile�察�the villain�察�rascal�察�wretch�察�Tries with black treason to suborn 

my wife�察�And not content with such a foul design�察�He dares to menace me 

with   my   own   favours�察�And   would   make   use   of   those   advantages Which 

my too foolish kindness armed him with�察�To ruin me�察�to take my fortune 

from me�察�And leave me in the state I saved him from。 

    DORINE Poor man� �

    MADAME PERNELLE My son�察�I cannot possibly Believe he   could 

intend so black a deed。 

    ORGON What�拭�

    MADAME PERNELLE Worthy men are still the sport of envy。 

    ORGON Mother�察�what do you mean by such a speech�拭�

    MADAME PERNELLE There are strange goings´on about your house�察�

And everybody knows your people hate him。 

    ORGON What's that to do with what I tell you now�拭�

    MADAME PERNELLE I always said�察�my son�察�when you were little�此�

That virtue here below is hated ever�察�The envious may die�察�but envy never。 

    ORGON What's that fine speech to do with present facts�拭�

    MADAME         PERNELLE        Be  sure�察 �they've   forged  a  hundred    silly 

lies 。 。 。 

    ORGON I've told you once�察�I saw it all myself。 

    MADAME PERNELLE For slanderers abound in calumnies 。 。 。 

    ORGON Mother�察�you'd make me damn my soul。 I tell you I saw with 

my own eyes his shamelessness。 

    MADAME PERNELLE Their tongues for spitting venom never lack�察�

There's nothing here below they'll not attack。

     ORGON Your speech has not a single grain of sense。 I saw it�察�harkee�察�

saw it�察�with these eyes I sawd'ye know what saw means��must I say it A 

hundred times�察�and din it in your ears�拭�

    MADAME PERNELLE My dear�察�appearances are oft deceiving�察�And 

seeing shouldn't always be believing。 

     ORGON I'll go mad。 

    MADAME   PERNELLE   False   suspicions   may   delude�察  �And   good   to 

evil oft is misconstrued。 

     ORGON   Must   I   construe   as   Christian   charity   The   wish   to   kiss   my 

wife� �

    MADAME PERNELLE You   must�察�at least�察�Have just foundation for 

accusing people�察�And wait until you see a thing for sure。 

     ORGON The devil� �How could I see any surer�拭�Should I have waited 

till�察�before my eyes�察�He 。 。 。 No�察�you'll make me say things quite improper。 

    MADAME PERNELLE In short�察�'tis known too pure a zeal inflames 

him�察�And so�察�I cannot possibly conceive That he should try to do what's 

charged against him。 

     ORGON If you were not my mother�察�I should say Such things�  � 。 。 I 

know not what�察�I'm so enraged� �

    DORINE ��to Orgon�� Fortune has paid you fair�察�to be so doubted�察�You 

flouted our report�察�now yours is flouted。 

     CLEANTE We're wasting time here in the merest trifling�察�Which we 

should     rather  use  in  taking   measures     To  guard    ourselves   against   the 

scoundrel's threats。 

    DAMIS You think his impudence could go far�拭�

    ELMIRE   For   one�察  �I   can't   believe   it   possible�察  �Why�察  �his   ingratitude 

would be too patent。 

     CLEANTE   Don't   trust   to   that�察  �he'll   find   abundant   warrant   To   give 

good colour to his acts against you�察�And for less cause than this�察�a strong 

cabal   Can   make   one's   life  a labyrinth   of troubles。  I   tell   you   once   again�此�

armed as he is You never should have pushed him quite so far。 

     ORGON True�察�yet what could I do�拭�The rascal's pride Made me lose 

all control of my resentment。 

     CLEANTE I wish with all my heart that some pretence Of peace could
