ORGON, ELMIRE, DAMIS, TARTUFFE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

DAMIS<\/span>
\nFather, we’ve news to welcome your arrival,<\/span>
\nThat’s altogether novel, and surprising.<\/span>
\nYou are well paid for your caressing care,<\/span>
\nAnd this fine gentleman rewards your love<\/span>
\nMost handsomely, with zeal that seeks no less<\/span>
\nThan your dishonour, as has now been proven.<\/span>
\nI’ve just surprised him making to your wife<\/span>
\nThe shameful offer of a guilty love.<\/span>
\nShe, somewhat over gentle and discreet,<\/span>
\nInsisted that the thing should be concealed;<\/span>
\nBut I will not condone such shamelessness,<\/span>
\nNor so far wrong you as to keep it secret.<\/span><\/p>\n

ELMIRE<\/span>
\nYes, I believe a wife should never trouble<\/span>
\nHer husband’s peace of mind with such vain gossip;<\/span>
\nA woman’s honour does not hang on telling;<\/span>
\nIt is enough if she defend herself;<\/span>
\nOr so I think; Damis, you’d not have spoken,<\/span>
\nIf you would but have heeded my advice.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"menu_order":5,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-62","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":44,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/62","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/62\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/62\/revisions\/63"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/44"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/62\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=62"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=62"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/tartuffe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=62"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
