Ears Hurt Drinking Alcohol

Tip Tip

I had to go to a psychiatrist but I fell twice on the sidewalk when there are only 50 meters to go to the bus stop. I was afraid of having to trudge like this at the subway exit Montreuil so I turned around and went back home. Yet last week I did not go either because there was no bus. But here, I would have had my bus, if I wanted. In short, I am ashamed of myself, all I needed to go back because I have olfactory hallucinations (twice in the week, whenever I was in contact with water, it was a burning smell) and hearing (yesterday the people who spoke to me sounded like a radio 50s)

Big Black Work Tattoos

... The bourgeois are like pigs ... and nobles still worse ... Cow ...


lute player. Black chalk heightened with white; seventeenth century

L e Gentleman is a comedy-ballet Molière (1622-1673), in five acts with respectively 2, 5, 16, 5 and 6 scenes) prose (except ballet entries are in verse), represented for the first time October 14, 1670, the court of Louis XIV, the Château de Chambord by Molière's troupe. The music is by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687), the ballets of Pierre Beauchamp (1631-1705), the sets of Vigarani Carlo (1637-1713) and the costumes of Turkish Chevalier d'Arvieux (1635-1702).


André Bouys (1656-1740); The ordinary music of the King

In this play, Molière mocks a wealthy bourgeois who wants to emulate the behavior and the lifestyle of the nobles. This show was much appreciated by the Court and Louis XIV who redemandèrent several times.

Francois de Troy (1645-1730 ) portrait of Charles Lamb, 1690


This piece embodies the kind the comedy-ballet to perfection and remains one of the few masterpieces such noble who has mobilized the best actors and musicians of the time. One reason for the success that it immediately won the taste is the time for what were called turqueries. The Ottoman Empire was then a universal concern in the minds and sought to tame it. The origin of the work is linked to the scandal caused by the Turkish ambassador Soliman Aga, who during his visit to the court of Louis XIV in 1669, asserted the superiority of the Ottoman court on that of the Sun King.

At inception, Molière played the role of Monsieur Jourdain, clothed in bright colors, adorned with silver lace and colored feathers, André Hubert transvestite played the role of Madame Jourdain ; Miss Brie was Dorimène; Armande Bejart played Lucile Jeanne Beauval, whose laughter was contagious known, was Nicole, La Grange was Cleonte, Baron: Dorante Gaye: The Master of Music student, Bauval ;: The Boy tailor, the musician Lully danced Mufti during the Turkish ceremony of the last act. In the distribution of the singers were Arnou as Student of Music, Miss Lalande, as a musician, and Jonquet, as a musician, in the ballet's first act, and Philbert, as the Mufti in the third act.

M aster Music, Dancing Master, Three Musicians, Two Violins, four dancers.

Master music, talking to his musicians.
V ome, enter this room and you sit there, until he comes.

Dancing Master, speaking to the dancers.
And you too, on this side.

Music Teacher , the student.
Is it done?

Students
Yes.

Music Teacher
Let's see ... That's good.

Dancing Master
Is this something new?

Music Teacher
Yes, it is an air for a serenade, I did call him here, until our man was awake.

Dancing Master
Can you see this?

Music Teacher
You'll hear the dialogue when he comes. It does not take long.

Dancing Master
Our occupations, you and me, are not small now.

Music Teacher
It is true. We found a man here as we need them both, what we rent is a sweet that Mr. Jordan, with visions of grandeur and gallantry he went into his head, and your dancing and my music would Hopefully everyone like him.

Dancing Master
Not entirely, and I would like for him he knew better than he did the things we give.

Music Teacher
It is true that he is unfamiliar, but it pays well, and that's what our arts now need it more than anything else.

Dancing Master
For me, I confess, I repais a little glory to the applause touch me and I wish that in all the fine arts is a punishment bad enough that occur to fools that wiping compositions on the barbarity of a stupid. It is a pleasure, not me talking point at work for people who can feel the warmth of an art, who can make a sweet welcome to the beauties of a book, and approvals by tickling you enjoy your work. Yes, the rewards one can receive more enjoyable things we did was to see the known, to see a cherished applause that honors. There is nothing, I think that we pay better than that of all our hardships, and they are exquisite delight praise informed.


Fontaine - Parc du Château de Versailles


Music Teacher
I agree with, and I taste like you. There is certainly nothing that tickles more than the applause you say. But the incense does not live; praise are not all pure point a man at ease: there must mix the solid; and the best way to rent, rent it with your hands. He is a man, indeed, whose lights are small, who speaks indiscriminately of all things, and applaud that cons-meaning, but his money makes up the judgments of his mind; He has discernment in his purse, his praises are minted, and this ignorant bourgeois us better, as you see, that enlightened nobleman who introduced us here.

Dancing Master
There is some truth in what you say but I find you press a little too much on money and interest is something so low that we must never an honest man for him to watch the attachment.

Music Teacher
You get well yet the money our man gives you.

Dancing Master
Certainly, but I do not make all my happiness and I wish that with his wealth, he still had some good taste of things.

Music Teacher
I would like also, and what we are working both as much as we can. But in any case, we give way ourselves in the world and he will pay for others what others praise for him.

Dancing Master
Here he comes.

Mr. Jordan
Well, gentlemen? What? I will you see your little skit?

Dancing Master
How? What little humor?

Mr. Jordan
the Well ... what do you call that? Your prologue or dialogue of songs and dance.

Dancing Master
Ah! ah!

Music Teacher
You find us ready.

Mr. Jordan
I made you wait a bit, but I'm getting dressed today as people of quality, and my tailor sent me some silk stockings that I thought I never get on.

Music Teacher
We are here to await your leisure.

Mr. Jordan
Please do both of you not in go, they have brought me my coat, so you may see me.

Dancing Master
Anything you like.

Mr. Jordan
You see me with it properly, from head to foot.

Music Teacher
We do not doubt it.

Mr. Jordan
I made it to the Indian.

Dancing Master
She is very beautiful.

Mr. Jordan
My tailor told me that people of quality like this in the morning.

Music Teacher
It suits you perfectly.

Mr. Jordan
Lackey! whoa, my two dogs!

lackey Prime
What do you, sir?

Mr. Jordan
Nothing. Is to see if you understand me. (Both masters.) What do you think of my liveries?

Dancing Master
They are beautiful.

Mr. Jordan. He opened his robe, and shows a high-pair of tight red velvet, and a green velvet vest, which he wears.
Here is another little undressed for my morning exercises.

Music Teacher
It is elegant.

Mr. Jordan
Lackey!

lackey Prime
sir.

Mr. Jordan
The other lackey!

Second lackey
sir.

Mr. Jordan
Hold my dress. I find you as well?

Dancing Master
Well. We can not better.

Mr. Jordan
Let us look at your case.

Music Teacher
I'd like you to listen to a tune he has composed for the serenade you requested. It's one of my kids, who for these kinds of things an admirable talent.

Mr. Jordan
Yes, but should not that done by a schoolboy, and you were not too good yourself for this piece of work.

Music Teacher
must not, sir, that the name of pupil fool you. These kinds of kids know as much as the greatest masters, and the air is as fine as could be done. Listen only.

Mr. Jordan
Give me my robe to hear better ... Wait, I think I'm better without dress ... No, give it back to me, it will get better.



Dancing Master in: "Figures from the reign of Louis XIV"


musician, singing :
I long night and day and my pain is extreme,
to your control since your eyes subjected me;
If you treat well, fair Iris, who loves you,
Alas! what could you do to your enemies?



Gissey Henri, Le Ballet de la Nuit: Louis XIV dressed as a sun, 1653



Mr. Jordan
This song seems a bit gloomy, it lulls, and I would you could liven a little cheer in it, and there.

Music Teacher
must, sir, that the air is suited to the words.

Mr. Jordan
It taught me a very nice, some time ago. Wait ... There is ... how does he say?

Dancing Master
By my faith! I do not know.

Mr. Jordan
There are sheep inside.

Dancing Master
Sheep?

Mr. Jordan
Yes. Ah!

(He sings)

I'm Jeanneton
As sweet as beautiful
I'm Jeanneton
Sweeter than a sheep
Alas! alas! it is a hundred times,
thousand times more cruel,
What is the tiger in the woods.

Is not it pretty?

Music Teacher
The prettiest in the world.

Dancing Master
And you sing it well.

Mr. Jordan
is without having learned music.

Music Teacher
You should learn it, Sir, as you dance. These are two arts that have a close connection.

Dancing Master
And that open the mind of a man with beautiful things.

Mr. Jordan
Do people of quality learn music too?

Music Teacher
Yes, sir.

Mr. Jordan
I learn it then. But I do not know how long I can take, for, besides the Fearless who shows me, I have engaged a Master of Philosophy, which is to begin this morning.

Music Teacher
philosophy is anything but music, sir, the music.

Dancing Master
music and dance. Music and dance, this is all it takes.

Music Teacher
There is nothing so useful in a state that music.

Dancing Master
There is nothing so necessary to men as dancing.

Music master
Without music, a state can not stand.

Dancing Master
Without dancing a man can not do anything.

Music Teacher
All disorders, all the wars we see in the world, come only from not learning music.

Dancing Master
All the misfortunes of mankind, all the dreadful disasters that the stories are true, the policy blunders and the failures of the great masters, all this is comes from not knowing how to dance.

Mr. Jordan
How so?

Music Teacher
War does not she just a lack of union between men?

Mr. Jordan
This is true.

Music Teacher
And if all men learned music, would this not the way to bringing about harmony and to see in the world of universal peace?

Mr. Jordan
You're right.

Dancing Master
When a man has committed a mistake in his conduct or the affairs of his family or government of a state, or to command an army, not said is not always: "This has made a false step in such a case?

Mr. Jordan
Yes, we said that.

Dancing Master
And how bad can it not do the other thing as not knowing how to dance?

Mr. Jordan
This is true, you are both right.

Dancing Master
For you see the excellence and relevance of dance and music.

Mr. Jordan
I understand that at this time.

Music Teacher
Want to see our two cases?

Mr. Jordan
Yes.

Music Teacher
I've already said, it's a little test I did the different passions that music can express.

Mr. Jordan
Well.

Music Teacher
Come, come on. You must imagine that they are dressed as shepherds.

Mr. Jordan always
Why shepherds? You do not see that everywhere.

MASTER dance
When people talk to music, it must be that for the likelihood, is given in the fold. Singing has always been assigned to the shepherds, and there is little natural dialogue for princes or merchants to sing their passions.

Mr. Jordan
Alright, alright. Let's see.

DIALOGUE IN MUSIC

A musician and two musicians
A heart, love in the Empire,
care is still a thousand restless:
They say it with pleasure languishes, one sighs;
But whatever may be said,
There is nothing so sweet as our freedom.

Prime musician
There is nothing so sweet as the tender passions
Who make two hearts
In the same desire.
We can be happy without love desires:
Remove love life
You take away the pleasures.

Second musician
It would be sweet to love the law,
If we were in love for the faith;
But, alas! O cruel rigor!
We do not find the faithful shepherdess,
And that inconstant sex, too unworthy,
Must forever renounce love.

Prime musician
Aimable ardor

Musician
Franchise happy

Second musician
Sex misleading

Prime musician
That thou art precious!

Musician
How you please my heart!

Second musician
What you do to me with horror!

Prime musician
Ah! leaves this mortal hatred to love.

Musician
We can, we can show you
A faithful shepherdess.

Second musician
Alas! where to meet?

Musician
To defend our reputation,
I want to offer you my heart.

Second musician
But, shepherd, then I believe
it will not be deceitful?

Musician
See for experience
Which of the two loves best.

Second musician
Who lacks consistency,
The can lose the Gods!

All three
In the heats so beautiful
Let us be inflamed
Ah! how sweet it is to love,
When two hearts are loyal!

Mr. Jordan
Is that all?

Music Teacher
Yes.

Mr. Jordan
I find it well-done, and there's little sayings in it nice enough.

Dancing Master
Here, for my case, a small movement of the loveliest and most beautiful attitudes that a dance can be varied.

Mr. Jordan
Are these shepherds?

Dancing Master
It whatever you like. Come on.

Four dancers perform all the different movements and all kinds of steps that the Lord commands them to dance and this dance is the first interlude.

Monsieur Jourdain, Music Master, Dancing Master, Footman.

Mr. Jordan
That is not bad, and those guys are good wiggle.

Music Teacher
When the dance is combined with the music, it will have even better effect, and you'll see something good in the little ballet we have prepared for you.

Mr. Jordan
That's for later at least, and the person for whom I do all this, I must honor this house to dine.

Dancing Master
Everything is ready.

Music Teacher
Besides, sir, this is not enough: we need someone like you who are beautiful and have an inclination for beautiful things, have a concert of music at home on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

Mr. Jordan
Is that good people have?

Music Teacher
Yes, sir.

Mr. Jordan
I'll have then. Will this be beautiful?

Music Teacher
Probably. You must have three members: an upper, high-cons, and a bass, who will be accompanied by a bass viol, a theorbo and a harpsichord for the chords, with two violins to ritournelles play.

Mr. Jordan
It will take place Navy as a trumpet. The trumpet marine is an instrument that pleases me, and that is harmonious.

Music Teacher
Leave us to manage things.

Mr. Jordan
At least sometimes remember to send the musicians to sing at the table.

Music Teacher
You'll have everything you need.

Mr. Jordan
More importantly, the ballet is beautiful.

Master Music
You will be pleased, and, among other things, certain minuets you will see.

Mr. Jordan
Ah! minuets are my dancing, and I want you to see me dance. Come, my master.

Dancing Master
A hat, sir, please. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ba, la, la, la, la, la. Rhythmically, please. La, la, la, la. Right leg. La, la, la. Do not move until the shoulders.

Mr. Jordan
About. Teach me to do as a courtesy to salute a marchioness: I need it now.

bow to salute a marchioness?

Mr. Jordan
Yes Dorimène called a marquise.

Dancing Master
Give me your hand.

Mr. Jordan
No. Simply how I remember it well.

Dancing Master
If you want to salute with great respect, we must first bow back and walk toward her with three bows in front, and last till you drop 'to his knees.

Mr. Jordan
Make a little. Good.

Tell him to come here for my lesson. I want you to see me.

Letter To New Members Of The Church

... Chimeras true ...





Corps boned seventeenth century


ACT I

Scene first

Sganarelle Gusman.

Sganarelle , holding a snuffbox.
Q UOI can say that Aristotle and the philosophy, there is nothing equal to tobacco: the passion of honest men, and who lives without tobacco does not deserve to live. He not only welcomes and purging human brains, but he hears souls to virtue, and it teaches him to become an honest man. Do you not see well, once one takes, how we use obliging with everyone, and as we are happy to give right and left, wherever it is? We do not wait even one demand, and we ran to meet the wish of the people: for it is true that tobacco inspires feelings of honor and virtue to all those who take. But enough of this material. Let our discourse a bit. So, dear Gusman, that Done Elvire, your mistress, surprise of our departure, was setting campaign after us, and his heart, that my master has touched too much, could not live, you say, without the pick here. Do you want me to tell you that between us I think? I fear it is poorly paid for his love, his trip to this city produces little fruit, and you would have won as many do move away.

Gusman
And the reason again? Tell me, I pray thee, Sganarelle, which can inspire your fear of a bad omen? Your master did he open his heart on it, and did he say that for we had a cold that had forced him to leave?

Sganarelle
Not but, in view of the country, I know about the train of things, and without me even say anything, I would wager that almost the case goes there. I might be wrong, but finally, on such subjects, the experience could give me some lights.

Gusman
What? This departure would be a little under infidelity of Don Juan? It could this injury to the chaste light of Done Elvire?

Sganarelle
No, he is still young, and he lacks the courage ...

Gusman
A man of his quality would make a Action so cowardly?

Sganarelle
Yes, its quality! The reason is beautiful and that is where we help things ...

Gusman
But saints nodes reflect the commitment of marriage.

Sganarelle
Hey! Gusman my poor, dear, you do not know yet, believe me, what man is Don Juan.

Gusman
I do not know the truth, what man can be, whether we made this treachery, and I do not understand as much love and after testified so impatient, so pressing tributes, greeting, sighs and tears, so many passionate letters, protests and burning of repeated oaths, both transport and finally as of outbursts he did appear, forcing up in his passion, the sacred barrier of a convent, Done Elvire to put in his power, I do not understand, I say, like, after all this it would have the heart to break his word.


American medical corset, v. 1890


Sganarelle
I have no great difficulty in understanding me, and if you knew the pilgrim, you would find something easy enough for him. I'm not saying he changed feelings for Done Elvire, I have not yet certainty: you know, by his order, I went before him and since his arrival he met me no, but as a precaution, I teach you, our cross, you see in Don Juan, my master, the greatest villain that ever walked the earth, a rabid dog, a devil, a Turk, a heretic who believes neither Heaven nor Hell, no werewolf, that passes in real life this beast in pig of Epicurus, in real Sardanapalus, who closes his ear to all remonstrances Christian that he can do, and discusses nonsense what we believe. You say he married your mistress, think he would have done more for his passion, and with her he would still marry you, his dog and his cat. A wedding costs him nothing to contract; it uses no other traps to catch the beautiful, and it is a suitor to all hands. Lady, lady, bourgeois, peasant, he found nothing too hot nor too cold for him and if I told you the names of all those he espoused in various places, it would be a chapter unto the last evening. You remain surprised and change color at this speech; This is just a rough character, and to complete the portrait should be many more brush strokes. Just need the wrath of Heaven overwhelms some day that I would be much better to be the devil to be his, and that makes me see so much horror, I wish he was already I do not know where. But a nobleman bad man is a terrible thing, I must be faithful to him, despite whether I have: the fear in me that the Office of zeal, clamp my feelings, and reduces me to applaud often that my soul hates. Here he comes walking in the palace, let us part. Listen at least I made you this confidence, frankly, it left me a little too quickly from the mouth, but it was something he came to his ears, I would say openly that you would have lied.



Bustier - M arcel Rochas, 1945


Scene 2

Dom Juan, Sganarelle.

Dom Juan
What man spoke to you there? It has air, I think, good Gusman of Done Elvire.

Sganarelle
is also something about that.

Dom Juan
What? is he?

Sganarelle
Himself.

Dom Juan
And since when is it in this city?

Sganarelle
From yesterday evening.

Dom Juan
And what about the leads?

Sganarelle
I think you feel that this is quite worrying.

Dom Juan
Our departure no doubt?

Sganarelle
The good man is mortified, and asked me the topic.

Dom Juan
And
What response have you done?

Sganarelle
Whether you had not said anything to me.

Dom Juan
But still, what is your thought on that? What do you imagine this case?

Sganarelle
Me, I think, without making you wrong, you have a new love in mind.

Dom Juan
You think?

Sganarelle
Yes.

Dom Juan
My faith! you not mistaken, and I must confess that another object was removed from my mind Elvira.

Sganarelle
Oh my God! I know my Don Juan on the fingertip, and know your heart for the greatest rider in the world: he likes to wander from link to link, and do not like to remain in place.

Dom Juan
And do not you think, tell me, I'm right to use that?

Sganarelle
Hey! Sir.

Dom Juan
What? Speaks.

Sganarelle
Certainly you're right, if you want, you can not go there cons. But if you do not want, it might be another matter.

Dom Juan
Well! I give you the freedom to speak and tell me your feelings.

Sganarelle
In this case, Sir, I tell you frankly that I do not approve of your method, and that I find very ugly to love on all sides as you do.

Dom Juan
What? you want us to remain bound to the first object that catches us, we renounce the world for him, and we had no eyes for anyone? The beautiful thing to want to inject a false distinction of being faithful to be buried forever in a passion, and be dead from his youth all the other beauties that we can strike the eyes! No, no; consistency is only good for the ridiculous, and all have good right to charm us, and the advantage of being first met must not shirk the others just claim they were all on our hearts. For me, beauty delights me wherever I find it, and I yield easily to the gentle violence that takes us. I'm engaged, my love for a beautiful binds my soul to do injustice to others, I keep eyes to see the merit of all, and give each the homage and tributes where nature compels us. Anyway Regardless, I can not refuse my heart to all that I see kind, and when a beautiful face asks me if I had ten thousand, I would give them all. Inclinations ups, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in change. It tastes extremely gentle to reduce, by one hundred tributes, the heart of a young beauty, to see every day the little progress they are doing to address it through transport, through tears and sighs, the innocent modesty of a soul that is hard to surrender, forcing the foot to foot all the little resistors it divides us, to overcome the scruples which she is an honor and gently lead where we want to bring her. But when it is master once, there is nothing more to say and nothing to be desired; all the thought of passion is over, and we fall asleep in the quiet of such love, if any new object not just awaken our desires, our heart and make them attractive charms of a conquest to make. Finally there is nothing so sweet as to triumph over the resistance of a beautiful person, and I have on this subject the ambition of conquerors, who constantly steal victory in victory, and can not bring themselves to confine their wishes. There is nothing that can stop the impetuosity of my desires: I feel a heart to love the earth, and like Alexander, I wish there were other worlds, to be able to extend my conquests love.




Sganarelle
Virtue of my life, as you flow! It appears that you have learned it by heart, and you talk like a book.

Dom Juan
Why do you say that?

Sganarelle
My faith! I have to say ... I do not know, because you turn things in a way, it looks like you're right, and yet it is true that you did not. I had the most beautiful thoughts of the world and your words to me all fuzzy. Laissez faire: Another time I put my arguments in writing, to dispute with you.

Dom Juan
You will do well.

Sganarelle
But, Sir, would it be the permission you have given me, if I told you I'm so little shocked the life you lead?

Dom Juan
How? What life do I lead?

Sganarelle
Fort
good. But, for example, to see you every month to get married as you do ...

Dom Juan
Is there anything better?

Sganarelle
It is true, I understand that it is very pleasant and entertaining, and I furnished myself enough, I think if there was no harm, but, sir, are playing well a sacred mystery, and ...

Dom Juan
Go, go, it's between me and heaven, and we disentangle well together, without thy put him in trouble .

Sganarelle
My faith! Sir, I have always heard that it's a bad joke that is ridicule of Heaven, and that the libertines are never a good end.

Dom Juan
Hola! master fool, you know I told you I do not like the makers of remonstrance.

Sganarelle
I'm not talking to you also, God forbid. You know what you do, you, and if you believe nothing, you have your reasons, but there are some small irrelevant in the world who are libertines without knowing why, who are strong-minded, because that they believe it suits them well, and if I had a master like this, I would say very clearly, looking in the face: "How dare you well and you play in heaven, and do you not tremble to laugh as you make the most sacred things? It's good to you, little worm, small Mirmidon you are (I mean what I said to the master), it is up to you to want to meddle around in jest that all men revere ? Do you think that to be quality to get a blonde wig and curly, feathers on your hat, a golden coat, and flame-colored ribbons (not that I speak to you, it is the other), do you, I say, that you're more astute than any you may be allowed, and we dare you tell your truths? Learn from me who am your servant, that Heaven punishes the wicked, sooner or later, a wicked life leads to a nasty death, and that ... "

Dom Juan
Peace!

Sganarelle
What are we talking about?

Dom Juan
It is about to tell you that beauty I feel at heart, and entailed by her charms, I followed her till in the city.




Sganarelle
And do you fear nothing, sir, the death of the commander that you should kill six months ago?

Dom Juan
And why worry? Did I not killed?

Sganarelle
Well, the best in the world, and it would be wrong to complain.

Dom Juan
I had my thanks for this case.

Sganarelle
Yes, but this does not extinguish with perhaps resentment of parents and friends, and ...

Dom Juan
Ah! Let us not think of the evil that we can get, and thinking only about what we can give pleasure. The person I'm talking to you is a bride, the nicer the world, which was brought here by the same that she has married, and gave me the chance to see this pair of lovers three or four days before their trip. I never saw two people be so pleased with each other and burst more love. Tenderness seen their mutual passions gave me the emotion I was struck to the heart and began my love by jealousy. Yes, I could not endure to see them first so well together, despite the alarmed my desires, and I imagined an extreme pleasure to be able to disturb their minds and break that commitment, which the delicacy of my heart stood offended ; but hitherto my efforts were useless, and I use the last remedy. The husband claimed his mistress must now enjoy a walk on the sea Without saying anything thee, all things are prepared to meet my love and I have a small boat and people, with which I very easily pretend remove fine.

Sganarelle
Ha! Sir ...

Dom Juan
Huh?

Sganarelle
is very well done to you, and you get it right. Nothing in this world than to content.

Dom Juan
Get ready therefore come with me, and take care of yourself to make all my weapons, so ... Oh! unfortunate encounter. Traitor, you never told me she was here herself.

Sganarelle
Sir, you have not asked me.

Dom Juan
Is it crazy not to have changed clothes, and come into this place with its crew of campaign?




Scene 3

Done Elvire, Don Juan, Sganarelle.

Done Elvire
Will you do me grace, Dom Juan, "as to recognize me? and can I at least hope that you deign to turn his face on that side?

Dom Juan
Madam, I confess I am surprised, and I do not expect you here.

Done Elvire
Yes, I see you're not expecting it and you're surprised, indeed, but quite otherwise than I expected, and how you seem fully convinced me that I refused to believe. I admire my simplicity and weakness of my heart to doubt that as a betrayal of my appearances confirmed. I was pretty good, I confess, or rather silly enough to want me deceive myself, and work to deny me and my decision. I looked for reasons to excuse my tenderness release of friendship she saw in you and I forged hundred subjects express a legitimate precipitate departure, for you to prove the crime of which accused you my reason. I just had great suspicion every day to speak to me I was rejecting the voice that you made criminal in my eyes and listened with pleasure a thousand chimeras ridiculous that you painted in my innocent heart. But after this first no longer allows me to doubt, and the look that tells me I received a lot more than I would like to know. I'm glad to hear though your mouth the reasons for your departure. Talk, Dom Juan, I beg you, and seeing you know how you justify air.

Dom Juan
Madam, this Sganarelle who knows why I left.

Sganarelle
Me, sir? I do not know, please.

Elvira
Done Well! Sganarelle, speak. No matter how mouth I hear those reasons.

Dom Juan , being beckoned to Sganarelle.
Come, speak to Madame.

Sganarelle
What do you want me to say?

Done Elvire
near, since the well wishes, and tell me a bit causes a prompt departure.

Dom Juan
You will not answer?

Sganarelle
I have nothing to say. You mock your servant.

Dom Juan
Will you answer, I tell you?

Sganarelle
Madam ...

Done Elvire
What?

Sganarelle , turning to his master.
Sir ...

Dom Juan
If ...

Sganarelle
Madam, conquerors, Alexander and the other worlds are the causes of our departure. That, Sir, all I can say.

Done Elvire
your pleasure, Dom Juan, we clarify these beautiful mysteries?

Dom Juan
Madam, to tell you the truth ...

Done Elvire
Ah! you know you wrong for defending a courtier, and must be accustomed to these kinds of things! I pity you see the confusion you have. What do you arm yourself with a noble forehead effrontery? What do you swear that you are always in the same feelings for me, that you still love me with a zeal unmatched, and that nothing can detach yourself from me than death? What did I tell you that cases of the last result you have forced me to leave without giving notice, it is necessary that, in spite of you, you live here a while, and I have only 'm back where I come from, provided that you follow my steps as soon as you can, it is certain that you burn to join me, and aloof from me, what you have suffered a body that is separated from his soul? That is as it should defend yourself and not be banned as you are.

Dom Juan
I confess, Madam, I have no talent for disguise, and I wear a sincere heart. I will not tell you that I'm always in the same feelings for you, and I long to join you, since after all it is ensured that I went away for you, not by the reasons you can imagine but by a pure conscience sake, and for not believing you more than I can live without sin. It came scruples, Madam, and I opened my eyes to the soul what I was doing. I did think that to marry you, I've stolen from the closure of a convent, that you broke the vows that you would engage the other, and that Heaven is very jealous of these things. Repentance took me, and I feared the wrath of heaven, and I thought our marriage was a disguised adultery, we would attract a disgrace to the top, and finally I had to try to forget you, and you give way to return to your first chains. Would you, Madam, oppose such a holy thought, and I went, keeping you in, put me on Heaven's arms, as ...?

Done Elvire
Ah! villain, now I know you whole, and unfortunately for me, I'll know when it is too late, and that such knowledge can not serve me well as I despair. But know that your crime will not remain unpunished, and that the same heaven that you mock will avenge me of your perfidy.

Dom Juan
Sganarelle, Heaven!

Sganarelle
Truly yes, we do not care much about that, you know.

Dom Juan
Madam ...

Done Elvire
Just. I do not want to hear more, and I even accused me of having heard too much. It is a cowardice to be told too much shame and, on such subjects, a noble heart, the first word, must take his party. Do not wait till I bust here in reproaches and insults: no, no, I have no one to vent anger in empty words, and all its heat reserves for his revenge. I'll say it again, Heaven will punish you, perfidious, the outrage you do to me, and if Heaven has nothing that you can understand, at least captures the anger of an injured woman.

Sganarelle
If remorse he could take!

Don Juan, after a little reflection.
Come to think of the performance of our business love.

Sganarelle
Ah! How abominable master I see myself obliged to serve!
