Tartuffe; or, The Hypocrite · 1664

Act I, Scene 4

by Molière 1622–1673

Translated by Curtis Hidden Page (1908)


[CLEANTE, DAMIS, DORINE]

DAMIS
I wish you'd say a word to him about
My sister's marriage; I suspect Tartuffe
Opposes it, and puts my father up
To all these wretched shifts. You know, besides,
How nearly I'm concerned in it myself;
If love unites my sister and Valere,
I love his sister too; and if this marriage
Were to ...

DORINE
He's coming.
