soliloquize

To soliloquize is to talk to oneself, possibly in a stagey or literary way, addressing, for example, the moon or marriage.

This discussion is based on the definition of the word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, which requires a little explanation.

To Act I or Act II of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado.
