Monologues From Plays

Is using a monologue from a classical monologue book a good idea or should I avoid that one?

I have found a suitable monologue from The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan in a monologue book and also have the play which it is from to read, but I know monologues from monologue books are often overdone, but this one does not seem to be on any overdone monologue lists that I can find. I am wondering if it would be advisable to consider it or not.
