Try this:

on mouseUp
put "The text [[rate 50]] I want spoken." into myVar
Do "say " & quote & myVar & quote as Applescript
end mouseUp

Look here for all you can put into the text to be spoken:

(For example, learn about [[ rate ... ]] here:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/Sound/Sound-200.html
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/Sound/Sound-190.html#MARKER-9-93
)

I found "say" options with "Open Dictionary..." in the Script Editor.
