Our monarchto resolve you in a word
Detesting his ingratitude and baseness;
Added this horror to his other crimes;
And sent me hither under his direction
To see his insolence out…top itself;
And force him then to give you satisfaction。
Your papers; which the traitor says are his;
I am to take from him; and give you back;
The deed of gift transferring your estate
Our monarch's sovereign will makes null and void;
And for the secret personal offence
Your friend involved you in; he pardons you:
Thus he rewards your recent zeal; displayed
In helping to maintain his rights; and shows
How well his heart; when it is least expected;
Knows how to recompense a noble deed;
And will not let true merit miss its due;
Remembering always rather good than evil。
DORINE
Now Heaven be praised!
MADAME PERNELLE
At last I breathe again。
ELMIRE
A happy outcome!
MARIANE
Who'd have dared to hope it?
ORGON (to Tartuffe; who is being led by the officer)
There traitor! Now you're 。 。 。

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。
ORGON
Well said! We'll go; and at his feet kneel down;
With joy to thank him for his goodness shown;
And this first duty done; with honours due;
We'll then attend upon another; too。
With wedded happiness reward Valere;
And crown a lover noble and sincere。
