Good evening, Cale.
I am come to see Miss Rosaleen.
She seemed ill last time I saw her.
Not ill, just with child.
With child?
Why, I am pleased.
I would expect you to be overjoyed, considering she bears your ***.
I beg your pardon?
Come come, [sic] you may hide behind your books and your philosophies,
[sic] but you have lusts and desires like every other man, do you not?
[sic] And my wife, she is always so very obliging.
Good God, brother, you are gravely mistaken.
Do not be so bold as to lie to my face, it's insulting.
I pity you, Dalton. You underestimate her goodness and chastity.
Chastity?
Where can I find relief?
You've taken *** and thrust it before God's eternal law.
He listens, in the sighing of the wind.
He hears me, he hears me, he hears me in my crying for revenge.
An old love burns inside my chest at night
Her pulsing heat seems all I need to trust.
But daylight's burning sunbeams must reveal
all of her lies.
And my sureness subsides.
There are a hundred footsteps that I try to retrace
So wondering, how I could have loved her more?
And torture, and torture, and torturing
without end my troubled mind
where nothing can lie hushed or silence find
I say, "I will crush every branch of her vine!"
And so stand firmly, so remembering this.
Dalton, I beg of you. What have you done to her?
I will poison her wine every night
until she begs God for forgivness
upon the monostrocity that comes from her womb.
Oh God, have mercy! Have mercy on us all!
Have you heard? Have you seen?
My lady is chaste, I am convinced!
Then you're a simpleton!
Such a murur, such a rumor
Such a scandal!
Do you really think he poisons her children?
He may be mad, but he's not a murderer!
Could you dare? Could you, master?
Could you dare?
What storm threatens this house? What will our sins threaten?
Are we all destined to fall?
There, there, my lady!
God condemns us! God forsakes us!
We are all destined to fall!
Be at peace, my lady!
Only God knows if we should live or die!
God save our lady... Save our house.
