MADAME PERNELLE, ORGON, ELMIRE, MARIANE, CLEANTE, VALERE, DAMIS, / DORINE
CLEANTE / Brother, hold! -- and don't / Descend to such indignities, I beg you. / Leave the poor wretch to his unhappy fate, / And let remorse oppress him, but not you. / Hope rather that his heart may now return / To virtue, hate his vice, reform his ways, / And win the pardon of our glorious prince; / While you must straightway go, and on your knees / Repay with thanks his noble generous kindness.
