DORINE (to Cleante)
Sir, we beg you To help us all you can in her behalf;She's suffering almost more than heart can bear;This match her father means to make to-night Drives her each moment to despair.He's coming.
Let us unite our efforts now, we beg you, And try by strength or skill to change his purpose.
