- As You Like It/ Act 1, Scene 3.
"Helena" performed by Octavia Selena Alexandru.
"Then, I confess,
Here on my knee, before high heaven and you
That before you, and next unto high heaven,
I love your son.
My friends were poor, but honest; so's my love:
Be not offended, for it hurts not him
That he is lov'd of me: I follow him not
By any token of presumptuous suit;
Nor would I have him till I do deserve him;
Yet never know how that desert should be.
I know I love in vain, strive against hope;
Yet, in this captious and intenible sieve
I still pour in the waters of my love,
And lack not to lose still. Thus, Indian-like,
Religious in mine error, I adore
The sun, that looks upon his worshipper,
But knows of him no more. My dearest madam,
Let not your hate encounter with my love
For loving where you do: but, if yourself,
Whose aged honour cites a virtuous youth,
Did ever in so true a flame of liking
Wish chastely and love dearly, that your Dian
Was both herself and Love; O! then, give pity
To her, whose state is such that cannot choose
But lend and give where she is sure to lose;
That seeks not to find that her search implies,
But, riddle-like, lives sweetly where she dies."

She is so beautiful
Wanted to thank Ms. Alexandru for her performance. I used it as an example in my acting class, and the students were very taking with her performance.
Kind words. Many thanks. Also subscribed to your channel, too. Interesting content.

Then I confess,
Here on my knee,
before high heaven and you,
That before you, and next unto high heaven,
I love your son.
My friends were poor but honest, so’s my love.
Be not offended, for it hurts not him
That he is loved of me.
I follow him not
By any token of presumptuous suit,
Nor would I have him till I do deserve him,
Yet never know how that desert should be.
I know I love in vain, strive against hope;
Yet in this captious and intenible sieve
I still pour in the waters of my love
And lack not to lose still.
Thus, Indian-like,
Religious in mine error, I adore
The sun that looks upon his worshipper,
But knows of him no more.
My dearest madam,
Let not your hate encounter with my love
For loving where you do; but if yourself,
Whose aged honour cites a virtuous youth,
Did ever in so true a flame of liking
Wish
chastely and love dearly,
that your Dian
Was both herself and Love,
O,
then give pity
To her whose state is such that cannot choose
But lend and give where she is sure to lose;
That seeks not to find that her search implies,
But riddle-like lives sweetly where she dies.
Thank you so much

Never heard of this woman before, and that's a shame. My word, but she did an excellent job here.

Wow!

For loving where you do.; but if yourself,
Whose aged honour sitesss A. virtuous youth,
Did ever in so true a flame of liking
Wish ..chastely! and love dearly,.. that your Dian
Was both herself AND Love, O then give pity
To her whose state is such that cannot choose
But lend and give where she is sure to lose;
That seeks not to find that her search implies,
But riddle-like lives sweetly where she dies.
Wow, is that malena!!
Malena is one of my favorite movies of all times. An interesting thought: Malena and Helena strongly resemble in many ways: in attitudes or beliefs active and powerful female character in a society where women are assumed to be weak and inferior to men.
@@TheInsaneArtist is this the only vedio ?
Quick question! Is this monolgue written in verse?
Then I confess Here on my knee before high heaven and you That before you and next unto high heaven
I love your son.
