Faust (Chap. 13)

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, such
A 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.
