SCENE XIII.

A Summer House.
Margaret springs in, hides behind the door, lays her finger on her lips, and peeps through the chink.
Margaret.
He comes!

Faust
(coming.)
Ah rogue! thou temptest me!
I've caught thee! (Kisses her.)


Margaret.
(embracing him, and returning his kiss.)
Dearest man, from my heart do I love thee!

(Mephistopheles knocking.)
Faust
(stamping.)
Who's there?

Mephistopheles.
A friend!

Faust.
A beast!

Mephistopheles.
'Tis time you parted, come!

Martha.
Yes, sir, 'tis getting late

Faust.
May I not see thee home?

125

Margaret.
My Mother would be so—farewell!

Faust.
Must I go then?
Farewell!

Martha.
Adieu!

Margaret.
Soon may we meet again!

[Exit Faust and Mephistopheles]
Margaret.
Dear God! what is there a man like he
Can't think about all things easily!
I stand ashamed before him there,
Just to say “Yes” to all I dare.
I'm but a child, with ignorant mind,
Can't think what in me he can find.

[Exit]
