Bet monologue (Act 3) — Betsey Bobbett: A Drama

Oh! Josiah Allen’s wife; we shall always diffeh on the subject of coos. But I wish to crave your advice on a deep and solemn subject. Martin Farquieh Tuppeh is one of the sweetest poets of the ages. My sentiments have always blended in with his sentiments. I have always flew with his flights, and soared with his soars. And last night after I had retired, one of his sublime ideahs come to me with a power I neveh felt before. It knocked the bolted door of my heart open, and said: “Betsey Bobbett, you have not neveh done it.” He remarks that if anybody is going to be married, their deah future companion is on earth, though we may neveh have seen him, or her, and it is our duty to pray for that future companion. Josiah Allen’s wife, I have not neveh done it; I feel condemned. Would you begin to pray now?
