Charles Heron Wall - The Imaginary Invalid (Act 3 Scene 20) lyrics

SCENE XX.——ARGAN, ANGÉLIQUE, TOINETTE. TOI. (pretending not to see Angélique). O heavens! what a sad accident! What an unhappy day! ANG. What ails you, Toinette, and why do you cry? TOI. Alas! I have such sad news for you. ANG. What is it? TOI. Your father is dead. ANG. My father is dead, Toinette? TOI. Yes, just look at him there; he died only a moment ago of a fainting fit that came over him. ANG. O heavens! what a misfortune! What a cruel grief! Alas! why must I lose my father, the only being left me in the world? and why should I lose him, too, at a time when he was angry with me? What will become of me, unhappy girl that I am? What consolation can I find after so great a loss?
