speaking of。 

     CLEANTE Since you will have it so�察�I do not know him�察�But after all�察�

to tell what sort of man He is 。 。 。 

     ORGON Dear brother�察�you'd be charmed to know him�察�Your raptures 

over him would have no end。 He is a man 。 。 。 who 。 。 。 ah�  � 。 。 in fact 。 。 。a 

man Whoever does his will�察�knows perfect peace�察�And counts the whole 

world else�察�as so much dung。 His converse has transformed me quite�察�he 

weans   My  heart   from   every   friendship�察  �teaches   me   To   have   no   love   for 

anything on earth�察�And I could see my brother�察�children�察�mother�察�And wife�察�

all die�察�and never carea snap。 

     CLEANTE Your feelings are humane�察�I must say�察�brother� �

     ORGON Ah�  �If you'd   seen him�察�as   I saw  him  first�察�You   would have 

loved him  just   as much as   I。 He came   to church each   day�察�with   contrite 

mien�察�Kneeled�察�on both knees�察�right opposite my place�察�And drew the eyes 

of   all   the   congregation�察  �To   watch   the   fervour   of   his   prayers   to   heaven�察�

With deep´drawn sighs and great ejaculations�察�He humbly kissed the earth 

at every moment�察�And when I left the church�察�he ran before me To give me 

holy    water    at  the  door。   I  learned    his  poverty�察  �and    who    he  was�察  �By 

questioning his servant�察 �who   is   like  him�察�And   gave  him  gifts�察  �but   in   his 

modesty He always wanted to return a part。 ;It is too much�察─�he'd say�察 �too 

much by half�察�I am not worthy of your pity。; Then�察�When I refused to take 

it back�察�he'd go�察�Before my eyes�察�and give it to the poor。 At length heaven 

bade me take him to my home�察�And since that day�察�all seems to prosper 

here。 He censures everything�察�and for my sake He even takes great interest 

in   my   wife�察  �He   lets   me   know   who   ogles   her�察  �and   seems   Six   times   as 

jealous as I am myself。 You'd not believe how far his zeal can go�此�He calls

himself a sinner just for trifles�察�The merest nothing is enough to shock him�察�

So   much   so�察  �that   the   other   day   I   heard   him Accuse   himself   for   having�察�

while at prayer�察�In too much anger caught and killed a flea。 

     CLEANTE   Zounds�察  �brother�察  �you   are          mad�察  �I   think�   �Or   else   You're 

making sport of me�察�with such a speech。 What are you driving at with all 

this nonsense 。 。 。 �拭�

     ORGON   Brother�察  �your   language   smacks   of   atheism�察  �And   I   suspect 

your soul's a little tainted Therewith。 I've preached to you a score of times 

That you'll draw down some judgment on your head。 

     CLEANTE That is the usual strain of all your kind�察�They must have 

every one as blind as they。 They call you atheist if you have good eyes�察�

And if you don't adore their vain grimaces�察�You've neither faith nor care 

for sacred things。 No�察�no�察�such talk can't frighten me�察�I know What I am 

saying�察  �heaven   sees   my   heart。   We're   not   the   dupes   of   all   your   canting 

mummers�察�There are false heroesand false devotees�察�And as true heroes 

never are the ones Who make much noise about their deeds of honour�察�Just 

so true devotees�察�whom we should follow�察�Are not the ones who make so 

much   vain   show。 What�   �Will   you   find   no   difference   between   Hypocrisy 

and genuine devoutness�拭�And will you treat them both alike�察�and pay The 

self´same   honour   both   to   masks   and   faces   Set   artifice   beside   sincerity�察�

Confuse the semblance with reality�察�Esteem a phantom like a living person�察�

And   counterfeit   as   good   as   honest   coin�拭  �Men�察  �for   the   most   part�察   �are 

strange creatures�察�truly� �You never find them keep the golden mean�察�The 

limits of good sense�察�too narrow for them�察�Must always be passed by�察�in 

each direction�察�They often spoil the noblest things�察�because They go too 

far�察�and push them to extremes。 I merely say this by the way�察�good brother。 

     ORGON You are the sole expounder of the doctrine�察�Wisdom shall die 

with    you�察  �no   doubt�察   �good    brother�察  �You    are  the   only   wise�察  �the   sole 

enlightened�察�The oracle�察�the Cato�察�of our age。 All men�察�compared to you�察�

are downright fools。 

     CLEANTE   I'm  not   the   sole   expounder   of   the   doctrine�察�And   wisdom 

shall not die with me�察�good brother。 But this I know�察�though it be all my 

knowledge�察�That there's a difference 'twixt false and true。 And as I find no 

kind of hero more To be admired than men of true religion�察�Nothing more

noble or more beautiful Than is the holy zeal of true devoutness�察�Just so I 

think    there's   naught    more    odious    Than    whited    sepulchres    of   outward 

unction�察    �Those     barefaced     charlatans�察    �those    hireling    zealots�察  �Whose 

sacrilegious�察  �treacherous   pretence   Deceives   at   will�察  �and   with   impunity 

Makes mockery of all that men hold sacred�察�Men who�察�enslaved to selfish 

interests�察�Make trade and merchandise of godliness�察�And try to purchase 

influence and office With false eye´rollings and affected raptures�察�Those 

men�察�I say�察�who with uncommon zeal Seek their own fortunes on the road 

to heaven�察�Who�察�skilled in prayer�察�have always much to ask�察�And live at 

court   to   preach   retirement�察  �Who   reconcile   religion   with   their   vices�察�Are 

quick to anger�察�vengeful�察�faithless�察�tricky�察�And�察�to destroy a man�察�will have 

the boldness To call their private grudge the cause of heaven�察�All the more 

dangerous�察�since in their anger They use against us weapons men revere�察�

And since they make the world applaud their passion�察�And seek to stab us 

with   a   sacred   sword。 There   are   too   many   of   this   canting   kind。   Still�察  �the 

sincere are easy to distinguish�察�And many splendid patterns may be found�察�

In our own time�察�before our very eyes Look at Ariston�察�Periandre�察�Oronte�察�

Alcidamas�察  �Clitandre�察  �and   Polydore�察  �No   one   denies   their   claim   to   true 

religion�察   �Yet    they're   no   braggadocios      of   virtue�察  �They    do   not   make 

insufferable   display�察�And   their   religion's   human�察  �tractable�察  �They   are   not 

always   judging   all   our   actions�察�They'd   think   such   judgment   savoured   of 

presumption�察�And�察�leaving pride of words to other men�察�'Tis by their deeds 

alone they censure ours。 Evil appearances find little credit With them�察�they 

even incline to think the best Of others。 No caballers�察�no intriguers�察�They 

mind   the   business   of   their   own   right   living。   They   don't   attack   a   sinner 

tooth and nail�察�For sin's the only object of their hatred�察�Nor are they over´ 

zealous   to   attempt   Far   more   in heaven's   behalf   than   heaven   would   have 

'em。  That   is   my   kind   of   man�察  �that   is   true   living�察  �That   is   the   pattern   we 

should set ourselves。 Your fellow was not fashioned on this model�察�You're 

quite sincere in boasting of his zeal�察�But you're deceived�察�I think�察�by false 

pretences。 

     ORGON My dear good brother´in´law�察�have you quite done�拭�

     CLEANTE Yes。 

     ORGON I'm your humble servant。

    CLEANTE Just a word。 We'll drop that other subject。 But you know 

Valere has had the promise of your daughter。 

    ORGON Yes。

him know what's happening here。
