altogether novel�察�and surprising。 You are well paid for your caressing care�察�

And   this   fine   gentleman   rewards   your   love   Most   handsomely�察  �with   zeal 

that seeks no less Than your dishonour�察�as has now been proven。 I've just 

surprised   him   making   to   your   wife The   shameful   offer   of   a   guilty   love。 

She�察�somewhat over gentle and discreet�察�Insisted that the thing should be 

concealed�察�But I will not condone such shamelessness�察�Nor so far wrong 

you as to keep it secret。 

    ELMIRE   Yes�察  �I   believe   a   wife   should   never   trouble   Her   husband's 

peace of mind with such vain gossip�察�A woman's honour does not hang on 

telling�察�It is enough if she defend herself�察�Or so I think�察�Damis�察�you'd not 

have spoken�察�If you would but have heeded my advice。

Heaven�察  �for   my   punishment�察  �I   see   it   plainly�察  �Would   mortify   me   now。

thought to be�察�Alas� �and though all men believe me godly�察�The simple truth
