Scene XIII
A Garden-Arbor
Margaret comes in, conceals herself behind the door, puts her finger to her lips, and peeps through the crack.
Margaret
He comes!
Faust
Entering
Ah, rogue! a tease thou art:I have thee!
He kisses her.
Margaret
Clasping him, and returning the kiss
Dearest man! I love thee from my heart.
Mephistopheles knocks
Faust
Stamping his foot
Who’s there?
Mephistopheles
A friend!
Faust
A beast!
Mephistopheles
Tis time to separate.
Martha
Coming
Yes, Sir, ’tis late.
Faust
May I not, then, upon you wait?
Margaret
My mother would—farewell!
Faust
Ah, can I not remain?Farewell!
Martha
Adieu!
Margaret
And soon to meet again!
Exeunt Faust and Mephistopheles.
Margaret
Dear God! However is it, suchA man can think and know so much?I stand ashamed and in amaze,And answer “Yes” to all he says,A poor, unknowing child! and he—I can’t think what he finds in me!
Exit.
