The Impostures of Scapin by Molière
page 13 of 84 (15%)
want me to marry; and although I am not cruel, I wish the sea would
swallow her up, or drive her hence forever. Do not weep, then, dear
Hyacintha, for your tears kill me, and I cannot see them without
feeling pierced to the heart.

HYA. Since you wish it, I will dry my tears, and I will wait without
fear for what Heaven shall decide.

OCT. Heaven will be favourable to us.

HYA. It cannot be against us if you are faithful.

OCT. I certainly shall be so.

HYA. Then I shall be happy.

SCA. (_aside_). She is not so bad, after all, and I think her
pretty enough.

OCT. (_showing_ SCAPIN). Here is a man who, if he would, could
be of the greatest help to us in all our trouble.

SCA. I have sworn with many oaths never more to meddle with anything.
But if you both entreat me very much, I might....

OCT. Ah! if entreaties will obtain your help, I beseech you with all
my heart to steer our bark.

SCA. (_to_ HYACINTHA). And you, have you anything to say?
