«96 MOLIERE possess some, I have also good natural taste, which en- ables me to judge and reason upon everything without study; to play the knowing critic upon the stage, when, to my delight, any new piece comes out; to give my opinion as a judge, and to set the whole house going at all the passages which deserve applause. I have tact, per- fect manners, good looks, particularly fine teeth, and a very elegant figure. As to dress, few, I believe, would dispute the palm with me. I am esteemed as much as one greatly beloved by the fair sex, and in favor with can be ; the king. Now, I do think that with all these advantages, my dear marquis, I do verily think that a man may well rest satisfied with himself in whatever country he may be. Clitandre. Very true. But how is it that, finding conquests so easy elsewhere, you come here to utter fruitless sighs? AcASTE. I utter fruitless sighs! Egad! I am neither of the mould nor disposition to endure the indifference of any woman. It is good for awkward and ordinary men to languish at the feet of inexorable beauties, and to bear with their indifference; to invoke the help of sighs and tears, and endeavor to obtain by much long-suffering what is refused to their scanty worth. But men of my stamp, marquis, are not made to love upon trust and to bear all the trouble. However great may be the merit of the fair sex, I fancy, thank Heaven ! that we are worth our price that to take pride in the possession of a heart like mine, it should of necessity cost them something; and that it is but just and proper that all advances should be mutual. Clitandre. You believe, then, marquis, that your position here leaves nothing to be desired ? AcASTE. I have reason, marquis, to believe it to be so. Clitandre. Trust me, marquis, bid farewell to such delusion. You flatter yourself, my dear friend, and blindly deceive yourself. AcASTE. Quite right; I flatter and deceive myself. Clitandre. But what can make you believe in such absolute success ? Acaste. I flatter myself. Clitandre. Upon what do you ground your belief? Acaste. I blindly deceive myself.
THE MISANTHROPE 297 Clitandre. Have you any certain proofs ? AcASTE. I am altogether mistaken, I tell you. Clitandre. Has Celimene made you any secret avowal of her preference for you? AcASTE. No ; I am very ill-used by her. Clitandre. Answer me, I pray. AcASTE. I meet with nothing but repulses. Clitandre. Leave off your raillery. Tell me what hope she has given you. Acaste. I am the rejected lover, and you the fortunate one. She bears to my whole person the strongest aversion, and there is no doubt but that one of these days I shall have to hang myself. Clitandre. Look here, marquis; will you be straightforward in this our love affair, and agree to one thing:—that if one of us two can show satisfactory proof that he has the larger share in Celimene's affections, the other will give up the field to the probable conqueror, and thereby rid him of an obstinate rival ? Acaste. Egad ! your proposal pleases me, and I agpree to it with all my heart. But, hush Scene II. Celimene, Acaste, Clitandre Celimene. What! still here? Clitandre. Love detains us, madam. Celimene. I just heard a carriage coming; do you know who it is? Clitandre. No. Scene III. Celimene, Acaste, Clitandre, Basque Basque. Arsinoe, madam, is coming up to see you. Celimene. What can the woman want with me? Basque. Eliante is there also, talking with her. Celimene. What has she taken into her head? What can possibly bring her here ?
