Transcript

Speaker 1

Prelude at the theater.

Speaker 2

You two, who oft a helping hand, have lent in need and tribulation. Come, let me know your expectation of this our enterprise in german Land. I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, especially since it lives and lets me live. The posts are set, the booth of boards completed, and each awaits the banquet I shall give. Already there, with curious eyebrows raised, they sit sedate and hope to be amazed. I know how one the people's taste may flatter, Yet here a huge embarrassment. I feel

what they're accustomed to is no great matter. But then, alas they've read an awful deal, how shall we plan that all be fresh and new? Important matter yet attractive too? For tis my pleasure to behold them surging When to our booth the current sets apace, and with tremendous oft repeated urging, squeeze onward through the narrow gate of grace. By daylight even they push and cram in to reach the cellow's box a fighting host, and as for bread around a baker's door in famine to get a ticket,

break their necks. Almost this miracle alone can work the poet on men so various. Now my friend, pray show it.

Speaker 3

Speak not to me of yonder motley masses, whom but to see puts out the fire of song. Hide from my view. The surging crowd that passes, and in its whirlpool forces us along. No lead me wear some heavenly silent glasses. The purer joys that round the poet throng, where love and friendship still divinely fashion, the bonds that bless, that wreathe the crown on his passion. Ah every utterance from the depths of feeling, the timid lips have stammeringly expressed,

now failing now perchance success revealing gulps. The wild moment, in its greedy breast or oft reluctant years, its warrant ceiling, its perfect stature, stands at last confessed. What dazzles for the moment spends its spirit? What's genuine? Shall posterity inherit?

Speaker 4

Posterity? Don't name the word to me if I should choose to preach posterity, where would you get contemporary fun? That men will have it? There's no blinking. A fine young fellow's presence, to my thinking, is something worth to everyone who generily his nature cannot pour takes from the people's moods no irritation. The wider circle he acquires, the more securely works his inspiration. Then pluck apart and give

us sterling coin. Let fancy be with her attendants, fitted sense, reason, sentiment, and passion join, But have a care lest folly be omitted.

Speaker 2

Chiefly enough of incident. Prepare they come to look, and they prefer to stare. Reel off a host of threads before their faces, so that they gape in stupid wonder. Then by sheer diffuseness you have won their graces and are at once most popular of men. Only by mass you touch the mass, for any will finally himself his bit. Select who offers much brings something unto many, and each goes home content with the effect. If you've a piece, why just in pieces? Give it a hash A stew

will bring success. Believe it tis easily displayed and easy to invent. What use a hole compactly to present your hearers pick and pluck as soon as they receive it.

Speaker 3

You do not feel how such a trade debases, how ill it suits the artist? Proud and true the botching work, each fine pretender traces. Is I perceive a principle with you.

Speaker 2

Such a reproof not in the least offends a man who some result intends must use the tools that best are fitting reflect Soft wood is given to you for splitting, and then observe for whom you write. If one comes bored, exhausted, quite another satiate leaves the banquet tapers, and worst of all full, many a white is fresh from reading of

the daily papers. Idly to us they come as to a masquerade, mere curiosity, their spirits warming the ladies with themselves and with their finery, aid without a salary, their parts performing what dreams are yours? In high poetic places, you're pleased forsooth, full houses to behold, draw near, and view your patron's faces. The half are coarse, the half are cold. One, when the play is out, goes home

to cards a wild night on a wench's breast. Another chooses, why should you rack poor foolish bards for ends like these? The gracious muses I till you give, but more more? Ever more, they ask, Thus shall you hit the mark of gain and glory? Seek to confound your auditory, to satisfy them as a task. What ails you now? Is it suffering or pleasure?

Speaker 3

Go find yourself a more obedient slave. What shall the poet, that we, which Nature gave the highest right, supreme humanity, forfeit, so wantonly to swell your treasure? Whence o'er the heart his empire, free the elements of life, how conquers he is not his heart's accord? Urge outward far and dim to wind the world in unison with him. When on the spindle spun to endless distance by Nature's listless hand, the threadest world and the discordant tones of all existence

in sullen jangle, are together hurled. Who, then the changeless order of creation divides and kindles into rhythmic dance. Who brings the one to join the general ordination where it may throb in grandest consonants. Who bids the storm to passion, stir the bosom in brooding souls, the sunset burn above. Who scatters every fairest april blossom along the shining path

of love. Who braids the noteless leaves to crowns, requiting desert with fame in actions every field, Who makes olympus sure that God's uniting the might of man, as in the Bard revealed.

Speaker 4

So these fine forces in conjunction propel the high poetic function. As in a love adventure, they might play. You meet by accident, you feel, you stay, and by degrees your heart is tangled. Bliss grow the paste, and then its course is jangled. Your ragsh white. Then comes a touch of woe, and there's a negromance completed. Ere you know, let us then such a drama give grasps the exhaustless life that all men live, each shares therein though you

may comprehend where'er you touch, there's interest without end. In motley pictures, little light, much error, and of truth a glimmering might. Thus the best beverage is supplied. Whence all the world is cheered and edified. Then at your play behold the fairest flower of youth. Collect to hear the revelation. Each tender soul, with sentimental power sucks melancholy food from your creation. And now in this, now that the loved works,

and each he hold what in his bosom lurks. They still are moved at once to weeping or to laughter. Still wonder at your flight, enjoy the show. They see a mind once formed is never suited after one yet, and growth will ever grateful be.

Speaker 3

Then give me back that time of pleasures while yet en joyous growth, I sang when like a fount the crowding measures uninterrupted, gushed and sprang. Then bright mist veiled the world before me in opening buds and marvel woke as I the thousand blossoms broke, which every valley richly bore me. I nothing had, and yet enough for youth, joy in illusion, ardent thirst for truth, Give unrestrained the old emotion, the bliss that touched the verge of pain,

the strength of hate, loves, deep devotion. Oh, give me back my youth again.

Speaker 4

Youth, good, my friend, you certainly require when foes in combat sorely press you, when bloodly maids in fond desire hang on your bosom and caress you. When from the hard worn gold wreath beckons afar the race awaiting, when after dancing out your breath you pass the night in dissipating, But the familiar heart with soul to play with grace and bold expression, and towards a self erected goal, to

walk with many a sweet digression. This, aged, sirs, belongs to you, and we no less revere you for that reason. Aged childish makes, they say, But tis not true. We're only genuine children still in age season.

Speaker 2

The words you've banded are sufficient, tis deeds that I prefer to see in compliments. You're both proficient, but might the while more useful be what's need? To talk of inspiration tis no companion of delay. If poetry be your vocation, let poetry your will, I'll obey full well. You know what here is wanting. The crowd for strongest drink is panting and such. Forthwith, I'd have you brew what's left undone to day to morrow.

Speaker 1

Will not do.

Speaker 2

Waste, not a day in vain digression. With resolute, courageous trust, seize every possible impression and make it firmly your possession. You'll then work on, because you must. Upon our German stage. You know it, each tries his hand at what he will. So take of traps and scenes your fill, and all you find, be sure to show it. Use both the great and lesser heavenly light. Squander the stars in any number, beasts, birds, trees, rocks, and all such lumber, fire, water, darkness, day and night.

Thus in our booth's contracted sphere. The circle of creation will appear and move as we deliberately impel from Heaven across the world to Hell.

Speaker 1

Prologue in heaven, the three archangels come forward.

Speaker 5

The sun orb sings an emulation. Mid Brother spears his ancient frown, his path predestined through creation, He ends with step of thunder sound. The angels from his visids splendid draw power whose measure none can say. The lofty works, uncomprehended are bright as on the earliest day.

Speaker 6

And swift and swift beyond conceiving. The splendor of the world goes round Day's eden, brightness still relieving the awful night's intense profound. The ocean tides in form are breaking against the rocks, deep bases hurled, and both the sphere of grace partaking eternal swift or onward world and.

Speaker 2

Rival storms abroad are surging from sea to land, from land to sea, a chain of deepest action forging round all in wrathful energy. Their flames are desolation, blazing before the thunder's crashing way. Yet Lord, thy messengers are praising the gentle movement of thy day.

Speaker 5

We'll still by their uncomprehended from these angels.

Speaker 2

For them, and all thy works silent, splendid are.

Speaker 1

As creations are.

Speaker 7

Since thou, o Lord, deigns to approach again and ask us how we do in manner kindness, and heretofore to meet myself wet faith among diminians. Now my face thou find pardon this troop I cannot follow after with lovedy speech, though by them scorned and spanned my pathos certainly would move thy laughter. If thou hadst not all merriment, unlearned of suns and worlds, I have nothing to be quilted. How man torment themselves is all I have noted. The little God of the Wall sticks to the same old way,

and is as whimsical as on Creation's day. Life somewhat better might content him, but for the gleam of heavenly light which thou hast lent him. He calls it reason. Thence his power is increased to be far bestlier than any beast, saving thy gracious presence. He to me, a long legged grasshopper, appears to be that springing flies and flying springs, and in the grass the same old ditty sings. Would he still lay among the grass, he grows him each bit of dung he seeks to stick his nose in.

Speaker 8

Hast Thou then nothing more to mention comest. Ever, thus with ill intention finds nothing right on earth eternally.

Speaker 7

No, Lord, I find things. They're as still bad as they can be. Man's misery, even to pity moves my nature. I have scarce a heart to plague the wretched creature, nost faust, the doctor faust, my servant, he fasooth he serves you. Of the strange devices, no oddly meet or drink. The fool suffices. His spirit is farm and fires pirate. Half consist of his friendship, crazed unrest, the fairest from heaven.

He required from art, the highest ruptures and the best, and all the nea and far that he desired, fails to subdue the tumult of his breast, though.

Speaker 8

Still confused his service. Unto me, I soon shall lead him to a clearer morning. Seize not the gardener, even while buds his tree, both flower and fruit. The future years adorning.

Speaker 7

What do you you bet there is still a chance to gain him, if unto me full leave you give gently upon my road to train him.

Speaker 8

As long as he on earth shall live so long I make no prohibition. While man's desires and aspirations stir, he cannot choose.

Speaker 1

But air.

Speaker 7

My thanks. I find the dead no acquisition, and never cared to have them in my keeping. I much prefer the chicks where reddy blood is sleeping. And when a corp's approachest close my house, it goes with me as a decaped the mouse.

Speaker 8

Enough, what thou hast asked is granted. Turn off this spirit from his fountain head to trap him. Let thy snares be planted, and him with thee be downward lead, then stand abashed. When thou art forced to say, a good man, through obscurest aspiration, has still an instinct of the one true way.

Speaker 7

Agreed. But it is a sharp probation about my bet. I feel no trepidation. If I fulfill my expectation, he will let me triumph with a swelling breast. Shall he eat and with a chest as did a certain snake by near relation.

Speaker 8

Therein thou art free according to thy merits, the like of thee have never moved My hate. Of all the bold denying spirits, the waggish knave least trouble doth create man's active nature flagging seats too soon the level unqualified repose, he learns to crave whence willingly the comrade him I gave,

who works, excites and must create as devil. But ye, God's sons, in love and duty, enjoy the rich, the everlasting beauty, creative power that works eternal schemes, clasp you in bonds of love, relaxing never and what in wavering apparition gleams fix in its place with thoughts that stand forever.

Speaker 1

Heaven closes the archangels, separate, soulless.

Speaker 7

I like at times to hear the ancience word and have a care to be most civil. It is really kind of such a noble lord, so humanly to gossip with the devil.

Speaker 1

First part of the tragedy one night, a lofty, arched, narrow Gothic chamber, faust in a chair at his desk, restless.

Speaker 9

I've studied now philosophy and jurisprudence, medicine, and even alas theology, from end to end, with labor keen, and here, poor fool, with all my lore, I stand no wiser than I'm magister, yea doctor height and straight or crosswise, wrong or right. These ten years long with many woes. I've led my scholars by the nose, and see that nothing can be known. That knowledge cuts me to the bone. I'm cleverer true than those fops of teachers, doctors and magisters, scribes and preachers.

Neither scruples nor doubts come now to smite me, nor hell nor devil can longer affright me. For this all pleasure am I foregoing. I do not pretend to aught worth knowing. I do not pretend I could be a teacher to help or convert a fellow creature. Then too, I've neither lands, nor gold, nor the world's least pomp or honor. Hold. No dog would endure such a cursed existence. Wherefore from magic I seek assistance that many a secret

perchance I reach through spirit, power and spirit speech. And thus the bitter task forego of saying things I do not know, that I may detect the inmost force which binds the world and guides its course, its germs, productive powers. Explore and rummage in empty words. No more o full and splendid moon, whom I have from this desk seen climb the sky, so many a midnight would thy glow for the last time beheld my woe. Ever thine eye, most mournful friend o'er books and papers, saw me bend.

But would that I on mountains grand amid thy blessed light, could stand with spirits through mountain caverns, hover, float in thy twilight, the meadows over and freed from the fumes of lore that swathe me to health in thy dewy fountains.

Bathe me h me this dungeon. Still I see this drear, accursed masonry, where even the welcome daylight strains but duskly through the painted panes, hemmed in by many a toppling heap of books, worm eaten, gray with dust, which to the vaulted ceiling creep against the smoky paper, thrust with glasses. Boxes round me, stacked and instruments together, hurled ancestral lumber, stuffed and packed, Such as my world?

Speaker 7

And what a world?

Speaker 9

And do I ask, wherefore my heart falters oppressed with unknown needs? Why some inexplicable smart all movement of my life impedes alas in living nature's stead, where God his human creature set in smoke and mold, the fleshless, dead and bones of beasts around me, Yet fly up and seek the broad free land, And this one book of mystery from Nostradamus's very hand, Is it not sufficient company?

When I the starry courses know, and Nature's wise instructions seek with light of power, my soul shall glow as when to spirits, spirits speak tis vein this empty brooding here, though guessed the holy symbols be you, spirits, come you hover near? Oh, if you hear me, answer me.

Speaker 1

He opens the book and perceives the sign of the macrocosm.

Speaker 9

Hah, What a sudden rapture leaps from this? I view through all my senses swiftly flowing. I feel a youthful, holy, vital bliss in every vein and fiber, newly glowing. Was it a God who traced this sign with calm across my tumult, stealing my troubled heart to joy, unsealing with impulse, mystic and divine the powers of nature here around my path revealing? Am I a god? So clear mine eyes? In these pure features? I behold creative nature to my soul. Unfold,

what says the sage? Now, First I recognize the spirit world. No closures, fasten thy senses shut, thy heart is dead disciple up untiring, hasten to bathe thy breast in mourning red.

Speaker 1

He contemplates the sign.

Speaker 9

How each the whole, its substance, gives each in the other works and lives like heavenly forces, rising and descending their golden urns, reciprocally lending with wings that winnow blessing from heaven through Earth. I see them pressing, filling thee all with harmony, unceasing. How grand a show, but ah a show alone thee boundless nature? How make thee my own? Where you, you beast, founce of all being shining, whereon

hang heavens and Earth's desire. Where to our withered hearts aspire, you flow, you feed, And am I vainly pining?

Speaker 1

He turns the leaves impatiently and perceives the sign of the earth spirit.

Speaker 9

How otherwise upon me works this sign, Thou Spirit of the Earth art nearer. Even now my powers are loftier, clearer. I glow as drunk with new made wine, new strength and heart to meet the world. Incite me, the woe of earth, the bliss of Earth. Invite me. And though the shock of storms may smite me, no crash of shipwreck shall have power to fright me. Clouds gather over me, the moon conceals her light, the lamps extinguished, misrise, red, angry rays are darting around my head. There falls a

horror from the vaulted roof and seizes me. I feel thy presence, Spirit, I invoke, reveal thyself. Ha in my heart, what rending stroke with new impulsion. My senses heave. In this convulsion, I feel THEE draw my heart, absorb, exhaust me. Thou must, Thou must, and though my life it cost me.

Speaker 1

He seizes the book and mysteriously pronounces the sign of the Spirit. A ruddy flame flashes. The Spirit appears in the flame, who calls me with averted head, terrible to see me.

Speaker 10

Hast thou long, with might attracted long from my sphere, thy food extracted, and.

Speaker 9

Now woe I endure not THEE.

Speaker 10

To view me is thine aspiration, my voice to hear my countenance to see thy powerful yearning moveth me? Here am I what mean? Perturbation? THEE superhuman shakes thy soul's high calling. Where where is the breast from which itself a world did bear and shaped and cherished with such joy? Expanded to be our peer with us, the spirits banded.

Where art thou Faust, whose voice has pierced to me, who towards me, pressed with all thine energy, He art Thou, who my presence, breathing, seeing, trembles through all the depths of being, a writhing worm, a terror stricken form.

Speaker 9

The form of flame. Shall I then fear, Yes, I am Faust, I am thy peer.

Speaker 10

In the tides of life in action storm, a fluctuant wave, a shuttle free birth, and the grave an eternal sea, a weaving, flowing life, all glowing, Thus at times humming loom. Tis my hand prepares the garment of life which the deity wears.

Speaker 9

Thou who around the wide world wendest thou busy spirit, How near I feel to thee.

Speaker 10

Thou art like the spirit which thou comprehendest.

Speaker 1

Not me, disappears overwhelmed lot thee.

Speaker 11

Whom I image of the Godhead, not even like thee. A knock oh death, I know it tis my famulus, my fairest luck finds no fruition in all the fullness of my vision. The soulless sneak disturbs me.

Speaker 1

Thus enter Wagner in dressing gown, a nightcap a lamp in his hand. Foust turns impatiently.

Speaker 12

Art, I heard your declamation tow' sure an old Greek tragedy you read in such an art, I crave some preparation, since now it stands one in good stead. I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with the comedian for teacher.

Speaker 9

Yes, when the priest comedian is by nature as happily now, and then the case may be.

Speaker 12

Ah when one studies. Thus, a prison creature that scar the world on holidays can see scarce dorough a glass by rare occasion? How shall one lead it? By persuasion?

Speaker 9

You'll ne'er attain it, save you know the feeling, save from the soul. It rises clear, serene, in primal strength, compelling the hearts and minds of all who hear. You sit forever, gluing, patching, you cook the scraps from others fair, and from your heap of ashes, hatching a starveling flame, you blow it bare. Take children's monkeys' gaze, admiring if such your taste, and be content. But nearer, from heart to heart you'll speak inspiring. Save your own heart is eloquent.

Speaker 12

Yet through delivery or to succeed. I feel that I am far behind.

Speaker 9

Indeed, seek thou the honest recompense. Beware a tinkling fool to be with little art, clear w and sense suggests their own delivery. And if thou art moved to speak in earnest, what need that after words? Thou yearnest? Yes, your discourses, with their glittering show where you for men twist shredded thought like paper, are unrefreshing, as the winds that blow the rustling leaves through chill, autumnal vapor.

Speaker 12

Oh God, but art is long, and life alas is fleeting and oft with zeal my critic duties meeting in head and breast. There's something wrong? How hard it is to compass the assistance whereby one rises to the source and happily ere one travels half the course must a poor devil quick existence.

Speaker 9

His parchment, then the holy font before thee a draft, wherefrom thy thirst forever slakes. No true refreshment can restore thee, save what from thine own soul spawn tanous breaks pardon.

Speaker 12

A great delight is granted when in the spirit of the age is planted. We mark, how ere are times a sage has thought, and then how far his work and grandly we have brought.

Speaker 9

Oh yes, up to the stars. At last, Listen, my friend, the ages that are past are now a book with seven seals protected. What you, the spirit of the ages call, is nothing but the spirit of you. All wherein the ages are reflected. So oftentimes you miserably marrit at the first glance. Who sees it runs away an awful barrel and a lumber garret, or at the best, a punch and judy play with maxims most pragmatical and hitting, as in the mouths of puppets, are befitting.

Speaker 12

But then the world, the human heart and brain of these one covets some slight.

Speaker 9

Apprehension, yes, of the kind which men attain. Who dares the child's true name in public mention? The few who thereof something really learned unwisely frank with hearts that spurned concealing, and to the mob laid bare, each thought and feeling have evermore been crucified and burned. I pray you, friend, tis now the dead of night. Our converse here must be suspended.

Speaker 12

I would have showed your watches with the light, so that I'll learned talk might be extended tomorrow, though I'll ask in eastern leisure this and the other question at your pleasure. Most zealously I seek for erudition. Much do I know? But to know is all my ambition?

Speaker 9

Exit solus, that brain alone not loses hope, whose choice is to stick in shallow trash forevermore, which digs with eager hand for buried ore, and when it finds an angle worm, rejoices. Dare such a human voice disturb the flow around me? Here of spirit present fullest? And yet this once my thanks I owe to thee of all earth sons, the poorest, dullest, for thou hast torn me from that desperate state which threatened soon to overwhelm my senses.

The apparition was so giant great it dwarfed and withered all my soul's pretenses. I image of the Godhead, who began deeming eternal truth secure in nearness, He quires, have you begun the sweet consoling chant, which, through the night of death the angel's ministrant sang God's new Covenant, repeating with.

Speaker 13

Viices and precious am we weighed him faithful and graciously late.

Speaker 4

We would find him Christ.

Speaker 14

No more found we Christ woes that molested him.

Speaker 6

Trials that tested him gloriously ended.

Speaker 9

Why here in dust entice me with your spell, Ye gentle, powerful sounds of heaven peel rather there where tender natures dwell your message as I hear. But faith has not been given The dearest child of faith is miracle. I venture not to soar to yonder regions. Whence the glad tidings hither afloat, And yet from childhood up familiar with the note to life, it now renews my old allegiance. Once heavenly loves sent down a burning kiss upon my brow.

In Sabbath silence, holy and filled with mystic sage chimed the church bell slowly, and prayer dissolved me in a fervent bliss. A sweet, uncomprehended yearning drove forth my feet through woods and meadows free, and while a thousand tears were burning, I felt a world arise for me. These chants to youth and all its sports appealing, proclaimed the springs, rejoicing holiday and memory holds me now with childish feeling back from the last the solemn way sound on, ye,

hymns of Heaven, so sweet and mild. My tears gush forth the earth takes back her child.

Speaker 3

Has he victorially burst from the vaulted rape and holorially now sits exalted?

Speaker 1

Is he in low of birth rapture? Created here? Ah to oiler? Still are here we his aspiring followers him?

Speaker 4

We miss, weeping desiring master, I bless.

Speaker 2

Christ has arisen out of corruptions, womb, burst the prison, break from your gloom, praising.

Speaker 15

Him, preaching and speeding of him, blessing succeeding him.

Speaker 1

Thus is there? Thus is he here? End of section two. Before the city gate, pedestrians of all kinds come forth?

Speaker 7

Why do you go that way?

Speaker 16

Wherefore the hunter's lodge today?

Speaker 4

Will saunterter to the mill in yonder Hollow.

Speaker 16

Go to the river tavern, I should.

Speaker 17

Say, But then it's not a pleasant way.

Speaker 6

And what will you?

Speaker 10

As goes the crowd I follow.

Speaker 16

Come up to Burgdorf. There you'll find good cheer, the finest glasses, and the best of beer, and jolly rows and squabbles.

Speaker 17

Trust me, you swaggering fellow, is your hide a third time itching to be tried? I won't go there. Your jolly rouse disgust me.

Speaker 18

No, No, I'll turn and go to town again we'll surely find him by those poplars.

Speaker 10

Yonder, that's no.

Speaker 18

Great luck for me. Tis plain, you'll have him when and where. You wonder his pan and the dance you'll be. But what is all your fun to me?

Speaker 19

He's surely not alone to day he'll be with curly head.

Speaker 5

I heard him say, deuce, how they stepped the box of lunches. Come, brother, we must see them to the benches. A strong old beer, a pipe that stings and bites, a girl in Sunday clothes. These three are my delights.

Speaker 18

Just see those handsome fellows there. It's really shameful. I declare to follow servants girls, when they might have the most genteel society to day to.

Speaker 6

The first student, not quite so fast. Two others come behind, those dress so prettily and neatly. My neighbor's one of them. I find a girl that takes my heart completely. They go their way with looks demure, But they'll accept us, after all, I'm sure.

Speaker 5

No, brother, not for me their former ways. Quick. Lets our game escape us in the press. The hand that wields the broom on Saturdays will best on Sundays, fondle and caress.

Speaker 2

He suits me not at all our new made burgher master. Since he's install'd his arrogance grows faster. How has he helped the town? I say things worsen? What improvement? Names he? Obedience? More than ever claims he, And more than ever we must pay.

Speaker 1

Beggar sings good gentleman and lovely lady.

Speaker 20

So red of chicken, fine of dress. Behold how evil here your aid is, And see enlighten my distress. Let me not vainly sing my deity. He's only glad who gives away a holiday that shows your pity shall be for me a Harve's day.

Speaker 3

On Sundays holidays. There's naught I take delight in like gossiping of war and war's array, when down in Turkey, far away, the foreign people are a fighting one at the window sits with glass and friends, and sees all sorts of ships go down the river gliding and blesses Then as home he wends at night our times of peace abiding.

Speaker 4

Yes, neighbor, that's mine ocean too. Why let them break their head, let loose their passions and mix things madly through and through So here we keep our good, old fashioned old woman.

Speaker 1

To the citizen's daughter.

Speaker 21

Dear me, how fine, so handsome and so young, who wouldn't lose his heart that met?

Speaker 7

You?

Speaker 21

Don't be so proud. I'll hold my tongue, and what you'd like I'll undertake to get you come.

Speaker 18

Agatha, I shunned the witches sight before folks, lest there be misgiving. Tis true. She showed me on Saint Andrew's night, my future sweetheart, just as he were living.

Speaker 21

She showed me mine in crystal clear, with several wild young blades. A soldier lover. I seek him everywhere, I pry and peer, and yet somehow his face I can't discover.

Speaker 22

Castles with lofty hearts, and towers, maidens disdainful in beauty array.

Speaker 4

Both shall be ours.

Speaker 7

Adventure, spendid, the.

Speaker 23

Pay, let the trumpest for us, being calling.

Speaker 17

To pleasure, calling to room.

Speaker 10

Story life is such is its boon, maidens.

Speaker 14

And castles soon bowl is the venture, splendid the pay, and the soldiers marching, marching.

Speaker 9

Away, released from ice or brook and river by the quickening glance of the gracious spring, the colors of hope to the valley, Cling and weak old winter himself must shiver withdrawn to the mountains, a crownless King, whence ever retreating, he sends again impotent showers of sleet that darkle in belts across the green of the plain. But the sun will permit no white to sparkle everywhere form in development, moveth he will brighten the world with the tints he

loveth and acking blossoms, blue, yellow and red. He takes these gaudy people instead, turn thee about, and from this height back on the town direct by sight. Out of the hollow, gloomy gait, the motley throngs come forth, elate, each will the joy of the sunshine hoarde to honor the day of the risen Lord. They feel themselves their resurrection.

From the low, dark rooms, scarce habitable, from the bonds of work, from trade's restriction, from the pressing weight of roof and gable, from the narrow, crushing streets and alleys, from the churches solemn and reverent night, all come forth to the cheerful light. How lively see the multitude sallies scattering through gardens and fields remote, While over the river that broadly Dalis dances so many a festive boat and over laden nigh to sinking the last full where he

takes the steam yonder afar from the hill paths. Blinking their clothes are colors that softly gleam. I hear the noise of the village. Even here is the people's proper heaven, here high and low contented. See here I am man, dare man to be.

Speaker 12

To stroll with you. Sir doctor flatters his honor prophet unto me. But I alone would shun these shallow matters, since all that's course, provokes my enmity, this fiddling, shouting, tinpin rolling. I hate these noises of the throng. They rave as satan or their sports controlling and call it murk him call it song.

Speaker 1

Peasants under the linden tree, dance and song.

Speaker 24

All for the danceler shepherd dressed in rib ands, wreath and gay his best himself with care ray around the linden lesson lead, already footed it like mad Hurrah Hurrah hurrat raa lah.

Speaker 13

The fiddle bowl was playing. He broke the ranks, no whit afraid, and with his elbow punch to maid who stood the danceray.

Speaker 16

The boxom When she.

Speaker 24

Turned and said, are you I call the stupid head? Hurrah Hurrah hurra trama lah be decent while you're saying. Then round the circle went their flight. They danced a left, they danced a right. The kurdles all were playing. They first grew red, and then grew warm and rested panting harmond arm Hurrah, Hurrah, hurrahterralla.

Speaker 25

And hips and nolbo stray.

Speaker 24

Now don't be so familiar here. How many your one hussle is dear waylaying and betray, And yet he coaxed her soon aside and round the linden sounded wide, Hurrah, Hurrah, hurrah, rala filbos.

Speaker 8

Play, Sir dactor, it is good of you that thus you condescend today among this crowd of merry folk, a high learned man to stray. Then also take the finest can we feel with fresh wine for your sake. I offer it an humbly wish that not alone your thirst is slake, that as the drops below its break, so many days of life you drink.

Speaker 9

I take the cup you kindly reach, with thanks and health to all and each.

Speaker 1

The people gather in a circle about him.

Speaker 8

In truth tis well and fitly timed that now our day of joy you share who wheretofore in evil days gave us so much of helping care. Still many a man stands living here, saved by your father's skillful hand that snatched him from the fever's rage and stayed the plague in all the land. Then also you, though but a youth, went into every house of pain. Many the corpses carried forth, but you, in health came out again.

Speaker 9

No test or trial. You evaded a helping god. The helper aided how to man.

Speaker 25

So skilled and tried, that our help he long may.

Speaker 9

Abide to him Above, bow down, my friends, who teaches help, and Sucker sends.

Speaker 1

He goes on with Wagner.

Speaker 12

With what a feeling Thou great man, must thou receive the people's honest veneration. How lucky he who gives his station with such advantages in dough Thou art shown to all the younger generation. Each ask and presses near to gaze. The fiddle stops, the dance delays. Thou goest may stand and rose to see, And all the caps are lifted high. A little more, and they would bend the knee, as if the Holy Host came back.

Speaker 9

A few more steps ascend as far as yonder stone. Here from our wandering we will rest contented here, lost in thought. I've lingered oft alone, when foolish fasts and prayer, as my life tormented here, rich in hope and firm in faith, with tears, wrung hands and sighs, I've striven the end of that far spreading death, entreating from the

Lord of Heaven. Now like contempt, the crowd's applauses seem couldst thou, but read within mine inmost spirit, How little now I deem that sire or son such praises merit. My father's was a somber, brooding brain, which, through the holy spheres of nature, groped and wandered, and honestly in his own fashion, pondered with labor whimsical and pain who in his dusky workshop, bending with proved adepts in company

made from his recipes, unending opposing substances agree. There was a lion read a wooer, daring within the lily's tepid bath, espoused and both tormented then by flame, unsparing by turns in either bridal chamber, housed if then appeared with colors splendid, the young queen in her crystal shell. This was the medicine the patient's woes soon ended, and none demanded who

got well. Thus we are hellish boluses compounding among these vales and hills surrounding worse than the pestilence have passed. Thousands were done to death from poison of my giving, And I must hear by all the living, the shameless murderers praised at last.

Speaker 12

Why therefore yield to such depression? A good man does his honor share in exercising with the strictest care the art bequeathed to his possession. Dost thou thy father honor as a youth, Then may his teaching cheerfully impel thee ust Thou as man, increase the stores of truth. Then may thine own sun afterwards excel thee.

Speaker 9

Oh happy he who still renews the hope from error's deeps to rise forever. That which one does not know one needs to use, and what one knows one uses never. But let us not by such despondents sow the fortune of this hour embitter mark how beneath the evening sunlights glow, the green embosomed houses glitter. The glow retreats. Done is the day of toil. It yonder haste new fields of life, exploring ah, that no wing can lift me from the

soil upon its track to follow follows soaring. Then would I see eternal evening gild the silent world beneath me, glowing on fire, each mountain peak with peace, each valley filled, the silver brook to golden rivers, flowing the mountain chain with all its gorgeous deep would then no more impede my godlike motion. And now before mine eyes expands the ocean with all its bays in shining sleep. Yet finally the weary god is sinking. The new born impulse fires

my mind. I hasten on his beams, eternal drinking the day before me and the night behind Above me, heaven unfurled the floor of waves beneath me a glorious dream, Though now the glory's fade alas the wings that lift the mind, no aid of wings to lift the body can bequeath me. Yet in each soul is borne the pleasure of yearning onward, upward, and away. When o'er our heads lost in the vaulted azure, the lark sends down

his flickering lay. When over crags and piney highlands, the poising eagle slowly soared and over plains and lakes and islands. The crane sails by to other shores.

Speaker 12

I've had myself at times some odd caprices, but never yet such an impulse felt as this is. One soon fatigues on woods and fields to look. Nor would I beg the bird his wing to spars. How otherwise the mental raptures bear us from page to page, from book to book. Then winter nights take loveliness untold as warmer life in every limb had crowned you. And when your hands unrolls some parchment, rare and old, all heaven descends and opens bright around you.

Speaker 9

One impulse art thou conscious of? At best? Oh, never seek to know the other? Two souls alas reside within my breast, and each withdraws from and repels its brother. One, with tenacious organs, holds in love and clinging lust the world in its embraces. The other strongly sweeps this dust above into the high ancestral spaces. If there be airy spirits near TwixT heaven and Earth, on potent errands fleeing, let them drop down the golden atmosphere and bear me

forth to new and varied being. YEA, If a magic mantle once were mine to waft me o'er the world at pleasure, I would not for the costliest stores of treasure, not for a monarch's robe. The gift resign invoke not.

Speaker 12

Thus the well known throng, which through the firmament diffused, is bearing and danger thousandfold are race to wrong in every quarter is preparing swift from the north, the spirit fangs so sharp, sweep down and with their barb points will to sail you. Then from the east they come to dry and warp your lungs till breath and being you if from the desert, sendeth them the south with fire on fire, your throbbing forehead crowning the west leads on a host to cure the drought. Only one meadow field,

and you are drowning. They gladly hearken prompt for injury, gladly obey, because they gladly cheat us from heaven. They represent themselves to be and list like angels when the lies they meet us. But let us go. Tis gray and dusky, all the air is cold, the vapors fall at night. One learns his house to prize. Why stand you this with such astonished eyes? What in the twilight can your mind so trouble.

Speaker 9

Seest thou the black dog, coursing there through corn and stubble.

Speaker 12

Long since yet deemed him not important in the.

Speaker 9

Least inspect him close? For what take thou the beast?

Speaker 12

Why poor poodle who has lost his master? And since about his track to find?

Speaker 9

Seest thou the spiral circles narrowing faster, which he approaching round us, seems to wind a streaming trail of fire. If I see rightly follows his path of mystery.

Speaker 12

It may be your eyes deceive you slightly. Not but a plain black poodle, do I see?

Speaker 9

It seems to me that with enchanted cunning, he snares our feet some future chain to bind.

Speaker 12

I see him timidly in doubt around us, running, since in his master's stead two strangers doth be.

Speaker 9

Find the circle narrows.

Speaker 12

He is near a dog, thou seest, and not a phantom. Here behold him. Stop upon his belly, crawl, his tail set wagging, canon habits all.

Speaker 9

Come follow us. Come here at least.

Speaker 12

Tis the absurdest drawlest beast. Stand still and you will see him. Wait, address him, and he gambles straight. If something's lost, he'll quickly bring it you're cane. If in the stream you fling it.

Speaker 9

No doubt you're right. No trace of mind I own is in the beast I see, but drill alone.

Speaker 12

The dog, when he's well educated, is by the wisest tolerated. Yes, he deserves your favorite thoroughly. The clever scholar of the students.

Speaker 1

He they pass in the city gate three, the study faust entering with the.

Speaker 9

Poodle behind me, field and meadows sleeping, I leave in deep prophetic night, within whose dread and holy keeping, the better soul awakes to light. The wild desireires no longer win us. The deeds of passion cease to chain. The love of man revives within us, the love of God revives again. Be still, thou poodle, make not such racket and riot. Why at the threshold wilt snuffing be behind the stove. Repose thee in quiet, my softest cushion. I give to thee, as thou up yonder, with running and

leaping amused us hast on the mountain's crest. So now I take THEE into my keeping, a welcome but also a silent guest. Ah when within our narrow chamber the lamp with friendly luster glows flames in the breast each faded ember, and in the heart itself that knows. Then Hope again lends sweet assistance and reason, then resumes her speech. One yearns the rivers of existence, the very fonts of life, life to reach, snarl, not poodle to the sound that rises,

the sacred tones that my soul embrace. This bestial noise is out of place. We are used to see that man despises what he never comprehends, and the good and the beautiful villipens, finding them often hard to measure. Will the dog like man snarl his displeasure? But ah, I feel though, Will thereto be stronger? Contentment flows from out my breast no longer? Why must the stream so soon run dry and fail us? And burning thirst again assail us therein I've borne so much probation, and yet this

want may be supplied us. We call the supernatural to guide us. We pine and thirst for revelation, which nowhere worthier is more nobly sent than here in our new Testament. I feel impelled its meaning to determine with honest purpose once for all the hallowood original to change to my beloved German.

Speaker 1

He opens a volume and commences tis written.

Speaker 9

In the beginning was the word here I am balked? Who now can help afford the word impossible? So high to rate it? And otherwise I must translate it? If by the spirit I am truly taught, then thus in the beginning was the thought this first line. Let me weigh completely, lest my impatient pen proceed too fleetly. Is it the thought which works creates? Indeed, in the beginning was the power I read. Yet as I write, a warning is suggested that I the sense may not have

fairly tested. The spirit aids me. Now I see the light. In the beginning was the act I write? If I must share my chamber with thee poodle, stop that howling prithee. Cease to bark and bellow such a noisy, disturbing fellow. I'll no longer suffer near me. One of us dost hear me, must leave? I fear me no longer guest, right I bestow the door is open, art free to go. But what do I see in the creature? Is that in the course of nature? Is it actual fact or fancies?

Shows how long and broad my poodle grows? He rises mightily a canine form that cannot be what a specter I've harbored. Thus he resembles a hippopotamus with fiery eyes, teeth terrible to see. Oh now am I sure of thee For all of thy half hellish brood. The key of Solomon is good.

Speaker 1

In the corridor.

Speaker 4

Someone with him is God s out following. Not like the fair.

Speaker 26

Sir, take heed, look about, back and forth, hover under and over, and word whip itself out.

Speaker 1

If urin alone, let not failure.

Speaker 26

For he without measure has wrought for our leasure.

Speaker 9

First to encounter the beast. The words of the four be addressed. Salamander shine, glorious, wave, undine as bidden, Sylph be thou hidden, Gnome be laborious. Who knows not their sense, these elements, their properties and power, not sees no mastery. He inherits over the spirits vanish and flaming ether, Salamander flow foamingly together, undine, shine in meteor, sheen, Sylph, bring help to hearth and shelf Incubus, Incubus step forward and finish.

Thus of the four, no feature lurks in the creature. Quiet he lies and grins disdain. Not yet, it seems, have I given him pain. Now to undisguise thee hear me exercise thee art thou my gay one, Hell's fugitive stray one the sign witness now before which they bow the cohorts of Hell with hair all bristling. It begins to swell base, being hearest thou knowest and fearest thou, the one unoriginate named inexpressibly through all heaven, impermeate, pierced,

irredressibly behind the stoves. Still band see an elephant expand it fills the space entire mist like melting. Ever faster tis enough, ascend no higher. Lay thyself at the feet of the master. Thou seest not vain the threats I bring thee with holy fire, I'll scorch and sting thee. Wait not to know the threefold dazzling glow. Wait not to know the strongest art within my hands.

Speaker 1

Mephistopheles, while the vapor is dissipating, steps forth from behind the stove in the costume of a traveling scholar.

Speaker 7

Why Suchennai's what are my lord's commands?

Speaker 9

This was the poodle's real core a traveling scholar. Then the cassus is diverting.

Speaker 7

Delahn, a gentleman, I bow before you have made me rally sweat. That is a tain.

Speaker 9

What is thy name?

Speaker 7

Quis and small, it seems for one whose mind the world so much despises, whose conning all external climbs, the depths of being only prizes.

Speaker 9

With all you, gentlemen, the names attest whereby the nature usually is expressed clearly. The latter it implies in names like beels above, destroyer, father of lies? Who art thou then.

Speaker 7

Part of that power not understood, which always wills the bad and always walks the good?

Speaker 9

What hidden sense in this enigma lies?

Speaker 7

I am the spirit that denies, and justly so, for all things from the void called thought deserve to be destroyed. It are better than when not created, does all which you as seen have rated destruction of which evil blend. That is my proper element.

Speaker 9

Thou namest thyself apart, yet ShoWest complete to me.

Speaker 7

The modest truth. I speak to thee if man, that microcosmic fool can see himself ahold so frequently part of the part and my once all in primal nine, part of the darkness which brought forth dull light, the hot delight which now disputes the space and claims of modern night, her ancient place. And yet the struggle fails. Since light, however, it weeps still fattered unto bodies sleeves, It flows from bodies,

bodies beautifies by bodies. Is its course impeded? And so but little time is needed, I hope ere as the bodies die, it dies.

Speaker 9

I see the plan. Thou art pursuing, Thou canst not compass general ruin and hast on smaller scale begun.

Speaker 7

And truly it is not much when all is done, that which do not is in resistance. Set the something of this comes you world, as yet with all that I have undertaken, not been by me disturbed or shaken from artquake, tamp based wave, volcanos brand back into quite settle, sea and land and the damn stuff, the bestial human brood? What he use in having death to play with? How many have I made away with? And ever circulates a newer,

fresher blood. It makes me furious such things beholding from what a art and air unfolding a thousand zums break halt and grow in dry and weight and warm and chilly. And had I not the flame reserved? Why really there is nothing special of my own to show.

Speaker 9

So to the actively eternal creative force. In cold disdain, you now oppose the fist infernal, whose wicked clench is all in vain. Some other labors seek thou rather, queer sun of chaos to begin.

Speaker 7

Well, will consider thou canst together my views? When next I venture in my tye, perhaps depart at present?

Speaker 9

Why thou shouldst ask? I don't perceive, though our acquaintances so recent, for further visits, thou hast leave the windows here, the doors yonder a chimney.

Speaker 7

Also you behold, I must conface that thought I may not wend my steps by one slight obstacle controlled the waker's foot dead on your Tracehold, maidies.

Speaker 9

The pentagram prohibits thee. Why tell me now, thou, son of Hades, If that prevents, how camest thou end to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated?

Speaker 7

Inspect the thing that drying is not completed. The outer angle you may see is up and left. The lines don't hit.

Speaker 9

It well, chance this time is fairly hid it. And thus thou art prisoner to me. It seems the business has succeeded.

Speaker 7

Da puddle not cha marked as after d he speeded, but other respects now obtain. The devil can't get out again.

Speaker 9

Try then the open window pane.

Speaker 7

For devils and for spect actors, this is law where they have entered in there also day we draw the first is free to us. We are governed by the second.

Speaker 9

In hell itself, then laws are reckoned. That's well, so might a compact be made with you, gentlemen, in binding.

Speaker 7

Surely all that is promised shall delight deep purely, no skin flint bargain shalt thou see. But this is not of swift conclusion. We will talk about the matter soon. And now I do entreat this boon. Leave to we draw from my intrusion.

Speaker 9

One moment more. I ask THEE to remain some pleasant news, at least to tell me.

Speaker 7

Release me now I soon shall come again. Then thou at will may'st question and compel me.

Speaker 9

I have not snares around THEE cast thyself has led thyself into the measures who traps the devil, hold him fast? Not soon a second time he'll catch a praise so precious.

Speaker 7

And to please THEE. Also, I am content to stay and solve d in a social station. But stipulating that I may, with arts of mine, afford the recreation.

Speaker 9

Thereto. I willingly agree, if the diversion pleasant me.

Speaker 7

My friend, Thou wilt twin past all pretenses more in this hour to sooth thy senses than in the year's monotony, that which the dainty spirits, seeing the the lovely pictures they shall bring thee are more than magic's empty show. Thy scent will be to bliss invited thy pellette, than it taste delighted dynaws of touch, ecstatic glow, all unprepared the charm, I spin. We are here together, so begin.

Speaker 8

Vanishy darking arches above him, the.

Speaker 4

Loveliest weather born of blue.

Speaker 20

Either break from.

Speaker 27

The side, Oh that the dark lou has the potted starlight.

Speaker 28

The sparkling, tranquil hearted sounds are high heaven zone children and beauty, bewiloving, waveringly bending past as they hover long mind over, They.

Speaker 4

With their glowing garments.

Speaker 26

Outlowing cover in going landing and power, where in seclusion lovers are plated.

Speaker 28

Lost in illusions, power on power tenandrils unblighted. Low in a shower, grapes cluster gush to must overflow to rivers.

Speaker 22

Ming wine that is dashing gems as it found, that is down the high.

Speaker 14

Places and riding surround us, crystallized spaces and happy embraces, blossoming orlands, emerald shorelands that.

Speaker 26

The winged races drink and fly onward, fly ever sunward between the enticing islands that flatter did rising light on the water are inspiring sound of their quiring see the entrancing world they're dancing.

Speaker 9

All in the air are freer and fairer.

Speaker 22

Some of them skins, others are sailingsircling be islands, flying life for all, hiding all the.

Speaker 23

Distant star of existent trasure and love.

Speaker 7

He sleeps, And of your face, your airy number, have sung him truly into slumber. For this performance, I, your debtor, prove not yet I doubt the man to catch the fine and hold him with fairest images of dreams enfold him, plunge him into seas of sweet untruth. Yet for the Threshold's magic which controlled him. The devil needs a rat squeak tooth. I use no length than invocation. Here rustles

one that soon will walk my liberation. The lord of rats and eke of mice, of flies and bit bugs, frocks and lives summons d heed to the door sill to night, where with just a moor sill of oil he paints the spot for thee. There comest thou hopping on to me to work at once The point which made me craven is forward on the ledge and graven, and at their bite makes free the door. So dream thy dream, so faust, until we meet once more.

Speaker 9

Faust awaking, am I again so foully cheated? Remains there not of lofty spirit sway, but that a dream the devil counterfeited, and that a poodle ran away.

Speaker 1

End of scene three, Scene four, the study.

Speaker 9

A knock. Come in again, my quiet broken it is, I come.

Speaker 7

In, tries, must the words be spoken? Come in then, thust thou pleasest me. I hope will sweet each other well for now thy vapors to dispel. I come a squire of high degree, in scarlet coat with golden streaming, a cloak and silken lusser swimming, a tall cocksweeder in my hat, a long sharp sword for show or quarrel. And I advise de briefell flat to don the self same gay apparel that from this den released and free life be at last revealed to d.

Speaker 9

This life of earth. Whatever my attire would pain me in its wonted fashion. Too old am I to play with passion, too young to be without desire? What from the world have I to gain? Thou shalt abstain, renounce refrain such as the everlasting song that in the years of all men rings, that unrelieved our whole life long,

each hour in passing hoarsely sings in very terror. I at morn, awake upon the verge of bitter weeping, to see the day of disappointment break to no one hope of mine, not one its promise, keeping that even each joy's presentiment with wilful cavil would diminish with grinning masks of life prevent my mind its fairest work to finish. Then, too, when night descends, how anxiously upon my couch of sleep I lay me, There also comes no rest to me,

but some wild dream is sent to fray me. The God that in my breast is owned, can deeply stir the inner sources, the God above my powers enthroned, he cannot change external forces. So by the burden of my days oppressed, death is desired, and life a thing unblessed.

Speaker 7

And yet ease never tet A holy welcome guest.

Speaker 9

Oh fortunate for whom, when victory glances the bloody laurels on the brow, he bindeth, whom, after rapid maddening dances in clasping maiden arms, he findeth, Oh would that I, before that spirit, power, ravished and wrapped from life, had sunken.

Speaker 7

And yet by someone in that nightly hour is subt liquid to us, not drunken eavesdropping.

Speaker 9

My pleasure seems to be.

Speaker 7

Omniscient. Am I? Not yet much is known to me.

Speaker 9

Though some familiar tone retrieving my thoughts from torment led me on, and sweet clear echoes came deceiving a faith bequeathed from childhood's dawn. Yet now I curse whate'er entices and snares the soul with vision's vein, with dazzling cheats and dear devices, confines it in this cave of pain. Cursed be at once the high ambition, wherewith the mind itself deludes. Cursed be the glare of apparition that on

the finer sense intrudes. Cursed, be the lying dreams, impression of name and fame and laureled brow cursed all that flatters, as possession, as wife and child, as knave and plow cursed. Mammon be when he with treasures to restless action spurs our fate cursed when for soft, indulgent leisures he lays for us the pillows straight cursed be the vines transcendent nectar,

the highest favor love let's fall cursed. Also hope cursed, faith, the specter, and cursed be patience most of all, whoa whoa destroy the beautiful world?

Speaker 26

Powersting is heard by the blow of a demi god, shattered the scattered bribe, the void will be carrying, deploring the beauty he perished, beyond restoring might dear for.

Speaker 23

The children of men, brightly builded again in thine own bosom builded the new. The new career commence with clearer sense, and the new songs of cheer be sung.

Speaker 7

There to these are the small dependents who give me attendance. Here them to deeds and passion. Counsel in shrewd, old fashioned into the world of strife. Out of this lowly life, that of senses and sap has betrayed thee day you'd passuade thee this nursing of the pain forg THEE, that like a vulture feeds upon thy breast. The worst society the finds will show THEE thou art a man among the rest. But it is not meant to trust THEE into the mob. Thou hatest I am not one of

the greatest. Yet wilt thou to me untrust thy steps to life? I'll guide THEE, will willingly walk beside THEE, will serve THEE at once and forever, with best than never. And if thou wast satisfied, will a solvent slave with THEE abide?

Speaker 9

And what shall be my counter service? Therefore the time is long?

Speaker 7

Thou didst not now insist?

Speaker 9

No, No, the devil is an egotist and is not apt without a why or Wherefore, for God's sake, others to assist speak thy conditions plain and clear. With such a servant, danger comes.

Speaker 7

I fear here an honorary plain. I wear thy teeter, and to dine every nod obedient bee. When there again we come together, then shalt thou do the same for me?

Speaker 9

The there my scruples not increases. When thou hast dashed this world to pieces, the other then its place may fill here on this earth, My pleasures have their sources. Yon Son beholds my sorrows in his courses. And when from these my life itself divorces, Let happen all that can or will I'll hear. No more tis vain to ponder if there we cherish love or hate, or in the spheres we dream of yonder a high or low our souls await.

Speaker 7

In this sense of it? Canst thou venture come by thyself by prompting dature, and thou my adds would joy shall see what no man ever saw? I'll give to thee.

Speaker 9

Canst thou, poor devil, give me whatsoever? When was a human soul in its supreme endeavor ever understood by such as thou. Yet hast thou food which never satiates now the restless, ruddy old hast thou that runs quicksilver like one's fingers through a game whose winnings no man ever knew. A maid that, even from my breast, beckons my neighbor

with her wanton glances and honors God like zest. The meteor that a moment dances, show me the fruits that e'er there gathered, rot and trees, that daily with new leafage clothe them.

Speaker 7

Such a demand alarms me. Not such strangers have I and can show them. But still the time may reach as good, my friend, when peace we crave at ball asyrius diet.

Speaker 9

When on an idler's bed, I stretch myself in quiet there, let at once my record end. Canst Thou, with lying flattery rule me until self pleased myself I see, canst thou with rich which enjoyment fool me? Let that day be the last for me the bet I offer done and heartily. When thus I hail the moment flying ah still delay Thou art so fair? Then bind me in thy bonds, undying my final ruin. Then declare, Then let the death bell chime the token. Then art thou from

thy service free. The clock may stop, the hand be broken, then time be finished unto.

Speaker 7

Me, cause it a well my memory good is rated.

Speaker 9

Thou hast a perfect right there too my powers I have not rashly estimated a slave. Am I whate'er I do? If thine or whose tis needless to debate it?

Speaker 7

Then at the doctor's bank eighth I to day will as a solvent wait behind tea. But one thing more beyond all risk to bind tea give me a line of two.

Speaker 9

I pray demandst thou pedant too, a document hast never known a man, nor proved his words intent. Is it not enough that what I speak today shall stand with all my future days? Agreeing in all its tides sweeps not the world away? And shall a promise bind my being? Yet this delusion in our hearts we bear, who would himself therefrom deliver blest he whose bosom truth makes pure

and fair. No sacrifice shall he repent of ever? Now the less a parchment writ and stamped with care a specter is which all to shun endeavor the world alas dies even in the pen and wax and leather keep the lordship. Then what wilt from me base spirit? Say brass, marble, parchment, paper, clay. The terms with graver, quill or chisel, stated, I freely leave the choice to thee.

Speaker 7

Why it dieslf does instantly with eloquence exhilerated, each leave, for such a pact is good. And to subscribe that name, thou'lt take a drop of blood.

Speaker 9

If thou therewith art fully satisfied. So let us, by the farce abide.

Speaker 7

Blood is a jeus of rarest quality.

Speaker 9

Fear not that I this pact shall seek to sever. The promise that I make to THEE is just the sum of my endeavor. I have myself inflated all too high. My proper place is thy estate. The mighty spirit gains me no reply, and nature shuts on me her gait. The thread of thought at last is broken, and knowledge brings disgust on spoken. Let us the sensual depths explore

to quench the fervors of glowing passion. Let every marvel take form and fashion through the impervious veil at war, plunge we in times tumultuous dance in the rush and roll of circumstance. Then may delight and distress, and worry and success alternately follow as best they can. Restless activity proves the man.

Speaker 7

For you no bound, No Tami said, whether you everywhere be trying or step sir, rapid bliss, and why mate agree with you what you get? I'll fall to and show no timid balkin.

Speaker 9

But thou hast heard tis not of joy we're talking. I take the wildering whirl, enjoyment's keenest pain, enamored hate, exhilarant disdain. My bosom, of its thirst for knowledge sated shall not henceforth from any pang be rested, And all of life, for all mankind created, shall be within mine. Inmost being tested the highest lowest forms, my soul shall borrow,

shall heap upon itself their bliss and sorrow. And thus my own soul's self to all their selves expanded, I too, at last, shall with them all be stranded.

Speaker 7

Believe me, who, for many a thousand year the same tough mit have chewed and tested that from the cradle to the bier. No man, the ancient Levin has digested trust one of us. This whole supernol is made. But for a god's delight. He dwells in splendor, single and athanal, but us he trusts in darkness, out of sight and ill. He dows wit day and.

Speaker 9

Nay, but I will.

Speaker 7

A good reply one only fear still needs repeating. The art is long, the time is fleeting. Then let thyself be taught. Say aye, girl, linked thyself with a poet, give the rein to his imagination. Then wear the crown and show it of the qualities of his creation. The courage of alliance breed the wild stack speed, the Italian's

fiery blood, the nods farm forty teeth. Let him find for thee the secret tatter that binds the noble and mean together, and teach their pulses of youth and pleasure to love by rule and hate by miser I'd like myself such a one to see some microcosm. His name should be.

Speaker 9

What am I? Then? If tis denied my part the crown of all humanity to win me, where two yearns every sense within me?

Speaker 7

Why on the whole thou art? What thou art? Set weeks of million cowls upon thy head to raise thee? Where sus am ell in height the truth betrays thee, and thou remain'st what thou art?

Speaker 9

I feel indeed that I have made the treasure of human thought and knowledge mine in vain, And if I now sit down in RESTful leisure, no fount of newer strength is in my brain. I am no hair's breadth more in height, nor nearer to the infinite good.

Speaker 7

Sir, you see the facts precisely as die seen by each at all. We must arrange them now more wisely, before the joys of life shall peal white. Chance Both hands and feet are truly and head and viral forces die. Yet all that I indulge in nearly is a dense less holy mind. If I have six taliens in my stall, are of their forces? Also lent me I speed along, completest man of all, as though my legs were four

and twenty. Take holden, Let reflection rest, and plunge into the world, which chest I say to thee A speculative wire is like a beast on a moonl and sleep that round and round. Some fint misleads to evil plight, while all about life pastures fresh and greed.

Speaker 9

Then how shall we begin?

Speaker 7

We will try wider spare What place of matter them is? Here? Is it life? I ask? Is it even prudence to bore thyself and bore the students? Let neighbor punge to that attend? Why plague thyself with thrashing straw? Forever the best thou learnest In the end, thou darest not tell the youngsters. Never I hear one's footsteps, he does cheering.

Speaker 9

To see him. Now I have no heart.

Speaker 7

So long the poor boy waits a hearing, he must not unconsole the path Thy cap and mantle straight well, and me. I'll play the comedy with r.

Speaker 1

He disguises himself.

Speaker 7

My wits be certain, will be afraid me. But fifteen minutes time is all I need for our fine trip. Meanwhile, prepare thyself with speed.

Speaker 1

Exit fast. Nephistopheles Enfaust's long mantle.

Speaker 7

Reason and knowledge only down the spies the high strength in man that lies let but the lying spirit blind Dea with magic walks and shows that blind Dea and I shall have defast and sure.

Speaker 15

Fate.

Speaker 7

Such a bold and trammeled spirit gave him as forwards honors ever must endear whose overhest impulse drave him past holy joys he might secure. Dragged through the wildest life, will Ian slave him through flat and stale indifference, with struggling, killing, checking, So deprave him that to his heart insasst sense, the dream of drink shall mark, but never leave him refreshment shall his lives in vain implore. Had he not met himself,

the devils naught could save him. Still were he lost forever more?

Speaker 1

A student enters a short time.

Speaker 5

Only am I here and come, devoted and sincere to greet and know the man of fame who meant to me with Reverence's name.

Speaker 7

Your courtesy doth flatter me. You'll see a man as odds be have you perchance elsewhere began receive me.

Speaker 5

Now I pray as one who comes to you with courage, good, somewhat of cash, and healthy blood. My mother was hardly willing to let me, but knowledge worth having I fain would get me.

Speaker 7

Then you have reached the right place.

Speaker 5

Now I'd like to leave it. I must avow I find these walls, these vaulted spaces, are anything but pleasant places. Tis also cramped and close and mean. One sees no tree, no glimpse of green. And when the lecture halls receive me, seeing, hearing, and thinking, leave me.

Speaker 7

All that depends on habit you So from its modest breasts. A child at first reluctant takes its food, but soon to see them is beguiled. Does at the breasts of wisdom clinging thou wilt find each day a greater rapture bringing.

Speaker 5

I'll hang thereon with joy and freely drain them. But tell me pray the proper means to gain them.

Speaker 7

Explain before your father speak the special faculty you seek.

Speaker 5

I crave the highest defradition, and fain would make my acquisition all that there is in earth, heaven, in nature and science too.

Speaker 7

Here is the genuine path for you. Yet strict attention must be given.

Speaker 5

Bardy and soul thereon all week. Yet truly I've some inclination on summer holidays to seek a little freedom and recreation.

Speaker 7

Use well your time. It flies so swiftly from us. But time true order may be one. I promise so friend my views, to briefly sum first the coliseum logicum. There will your mindy be drilled and braced, as if in Spanish boots. It will last, and thus to graver paces brought, it will plod along the path of thought instead of shooting here and there, Hey willow thou spin

muky air. Days will be spent to bid you know what once you did at a single blow, like eating and drinking free and strong that one to three dare to belong. Truly, the fabric of mental flesh resembles a weaver's masterpiece, where a thousand treads one dreadle throws will fly, the shuttles hither and dider unseen, the threads are kneat together, and an infinite combination grew. Then the philosopher STAPs in and shows no otherwise it could have been the first,

or so the second soul. Therefore the tad and fourth are so were not the first and second, then the toad and fourth had never been. The scholars are everywhere believers, but never succeed in being weavers. He who would study organic existence first drives out the soul with rigid persistence. Then the parts in his hand he may hold and class, but the spiritual link is lost. Alas and Careys in natures. This chemistry names now knows how houself, she banters and blames.

Speaker 5

I cannot understand you quite.

Speaker 7

Your mind will shortly be set aright when you have learned all things, reducing to classify them for your using.

Speaker 5

I feel as stupid from all you've said, as if a meal will world in my head.

Speaker 7

And after first and foremost duty of metaphysics, Lann the eels and beauty, see that you most profoundly gain what does not suit the human brain. A splendid word to serve you will find for what goes in or what go in your mind. But first, at least is a failure to order rizedly adhere five hours a day. You understand, and when the clock strikes be on hand. Prepare beforehand for your part, which paragraphs all got by heart, so we can better watch and look that not his set,

but what is in the book. Yet in their writing as unwear it be, as did the holy ghost dictate to thee, no.

Speaker 5

Need to tell me twice to do it. I think how useful tis to write? For what one has in black and white one carries home and then goes through it.

Speaker 7

Yet choose thyself a faculty.

Speaker 5

I cannot reconcile myself to jurisprudence.

Speaker 7

Nor can I therefore greatly blame you students. I know what science this has come to be. All rights and laws are still transmitted, like an eternal sickness of the race from generation unto generation, fitted and sifted round from place to place. Reason becomes a sham beneficiency. Worry thou art a grandchild. Therefore woo to THEE the right bone with us ours inverity this to consider there is alass no hurry.

Speaker 5

My own disgust is strengthened byer speech. Oh lucky ye whom you shall teach. I've almost for theology decided.

Speaker 7

I should not wish to see you hear misguided for as regards dessigns, let me hint, it is very hard to shun the false direction. There is so much secret poison lacking in it. So like the medicine, it baffels your detection. Here Therefore, one alone for that is best in suit, and simply take your master's words for truth. Onwards, late your attention center. Then through the safest gate you will enter the temple halls of certainty.

Speaker 5

Get in the word, must some idea be.

Speaker 7

Of course, but only shan two oversharp a tension for just where fails to comprehension, A word steps promptly in. As deputy with words, it is excellent disputing systems towards it is easy suiting onwards, it is excellent believing no word can ever lose a job from saving pardon.

Speaker 5

With many questions, I detain you, Yet must I trouble you again? Of medicine? I still would feign hear one strong word that might explain you three years is and God who can feel embrace? If one some index could be shown for easier groping forward truly aside.

Speaker 7

I'm tired of this dry tone. Must have played a devilgon and fully allowed to grasp the spirit of medicine is easy line of the great and little world. Your feel to let it go at last, So please yeah, just as God will in vain that through the reams of science human drift, each one lands only just what Lan he can. Yet he who grasps the moment's gift, he is the proper man, well made you. Why it

is not to be denied. The rest of bold address will win you if you but in your self confide had to once confide all others in you to lead the women Lan the special feeling, their everlasting aches and groans in thousand tones have all one source, one mode of healing. And if your eggs are half discreet, you will always have them at your feet. Your title fast must draw and interest them and show that yours all

other arts exceeds. Then as a greeting you are free to touch and test them, while does the dew for years and other please you present counter pulses, dances, and then a burning sidelong glances you clasp the swelling hips to see if tightly laced her causes.

Speaker 5

B that's better. Now the how and where one sees.

Speaker 7

My wordy friend, gray, are all theories and green alone likes golden tree.

Speaker 5

I swear to you tis like a dream to me. Might I again presume, with trust unbounded, to hear your wisdom thoroughly.

Speaker 7

Expounded, most willingly. To what extent I may.

Speaker 5

I cannot really go away? Allow me that my album must first reach you. Grant me this favor.

Speaker 7

I beseech you assuredly.

Speaker 1

He writes and returns the book reads it is.

Speaker 5

A secret this scentus bonnam.

Speaker 1

And Madam closes the book with reverence and withdraws.

Speaker 7

Follow d ancient text and a snake. Thou wast order to trample with all the likeness to God, Thou wilt it be a sorry example?

Speaker 1

First enters.

Speaker 9

Now whither shall we go.

Speaker 7

As best it pleases thee the little world, and that the great you will see with what delight, what profit winning? Shalt thou sponge to the town beginning.

Speaker 9

Yet with the flowing beard I wear, both ease and grace will fail me there. The attempt, indeed were a futile strife. I never could learn the ways of life. I feel so small before others, and then should always find embarrassments.

Speaker 7

My friend, Thou soon selt lose all such misgiving be thou but surposest thou hast the art of leaving?

Speaker 9

How shall we leave the house and start where hast thou servant coach and horses.

Speaker 7

We will spread this cloak with proper art than through the air, direct our courses, but only on so bold a flight. Be sure to have thy luggage light, a little bonning air, which I shall soon prepare us above. The art will nimbly bear us, and if we are light, we will travel swift and clear. I gradualate di on thy new career.

Speaker 1

End of scene four, Scene five, our bach seller in lightsing carousal of jolly companions.

Speaker 29

Is no one laughing, no one drinking. I'll teach you how to grin. I'm thinking to day you're like wet straw, so tame, and usually you're all aflame.

Speaker 30

Now that's your fault from you. We nothing see, no beastliness, no stupidity.

Speaker 1

Pourse A glass of wine over Branda's head.

Speaker 29

Here's both together.

Speaker 30

Twice a swine.

Speaker 29

You wanted them, I've given you mine.

Speaker 4

Turn out, who quarrels out the door with open throats in chorus, drink and roar hap hola ho woes.

Speaker 15

Me the faithful fellow bring cotton quick he split my ears, that fellow.

Speaker 4

When the vault echoes to the song, one first perceives the bass is deep and strong, well.

Speaker 29

Said, and out with him that takes the least offense.

Speaker 15

A tall laada hats a ralla rah.

Speaker 29

The throats are tuned. Commence the dear old, holy Roman realm. How does it hold together?

Speaker 30

A nasty song, fie, a political song, a most defensive song? Thank God each morning, therefore, that you have not the Roman Rome to care for. At least I hold it so much gained for me that I nor Chancellor nor kaiser b Yet also we must have a ruling head, I hope, and so we'll choose ourselves a pope. You know the quality that can decide the choice and elevate the man.

Speaker 29

So up or op them night and gale ten thousand times, My sweetheart, hell.

Speaker 4

No, greet my sweetheart, not, I'll tell you. I'll resent it, my sweetheart, greet and kiss. I dare you to prevent it. Draw the latch, the darkness makes, draw the latch. The lover awakes, shut the latch, the morning breaks, yes, sing away, sing on and praise and brag of her. I'll wait, my proper time for laughter. Me by the nose, she led,

and now shall lead you after her. Paramore should be an ugly gnome where four roads cross in Wanton play to meet her, an old he goat from Blocksburg coming home, should his good night and lustful gallop bleat her. A fellow made of genuine flesh and blood is for the wench a deal too good greet her, not I, unless, when needing to snatch her windows, be.

Speaker 1

A greeting pounding on the table.

Speaker 30

Attention hearken Now to me, confess, sirs, I know how to live and am at persons here have we and I as suits their quality must something fresh for their advantage. Give take heed tis of the latest cut my strain, and all strike in at each refrain. There was a rat in the cellaress two fat dunbar the maid smoother he had up beneath his vest, like that of doctor loothor the cook lit poisoned canningly and then a sort of priest was he, as if he had love in his bosom, shouting as if he had.

Speaker 29

Love in his bosom.

Speaker 30

He ran around, He ran about his thirst in poddles, leaving he gnawed and scratched the house throughout, but nothing cured his raving. He whirled and jumped with torment mad, and soon enough the poor beast had, as if he had love in his boars.

Speaker 29

Had loved his bosom.

Speaker 30

And driven at lasting open day, ran into the chen, fell on the hearth, and squirmingly in the last convulsion, weching then love the murder resin hrgley. Ha ha, he's at his last guard, said she, as if he had love in his boardsom, as.

Speaker 31

If he had loved.

Speaker 4

How the dull fools enjoy the matter. To me, it is a proper art poison for such poor rats to scatter.

Speaker 30

Perhaps you warmly take their part.

Speaker 15

The bull paint pop belly. I have noted misfortune times in by degrees. For in the rap I poison bloated his own most natural form. He sees.

Speaker 7

Before all else. I bring the heat where bone companions meet together, to let the see how small life runs away. Here For the folk, it's day, the holiday. With a little wheat and eave to sweet them. They wire in narrow cycling trails like kittens playing with their tails. And if no haadick prosecute them, so long the hosts make credit gee They merrily and careless leave.

Speaker 30

The fact is easy to unravel. Their air so odd they've just returned from travel a single hour, they've not been here.

Speaker 29

You verily hit the truth. Lipzig to me is dear Paris in miniature, how it refines its people?

Speaker 4

Who are the strangers? Should you guess?

Speaker 15

Let me alone.

Speaker 29

I'll set them first to drinking, and then, as one a child's tooth draws with cleverness, I'll worm their secret out. I'm thinking they're of a noble house. That's very clear, haughty and discontented they appear.

Speaker 30

Then upon a revel perhaps.

Speaker 7

Look out, I'll smoke them now, not if he had them by the neck. I vow whatever these people sent to the devil.

Speaker 9

Fair greeting, gentlemen, our thanks, we.

Speaker 1

Give the same murmurs inspecting mephistophiles from the side.

Speaker 4

In one foot is the fellow lame?

Speaker 7

Is it permitted that we share your laser in place of cheering drink, which one seeks vainly? Here your company shall give us pleasure.

Speaker 15

A most fastidious person.

Speaker 29

You appear, no doubt twas late when you from Rippeck started and something there with Hans occasioned you are delay.

Speaker 7

We passed to daughter, call to day. At our last interview, before we parted, much of his cousins did despict and treating that we should give to each his kindly greeting.

Speaker 1

He bows to afrosh aside.

Speaker 15

You have it now he understands a nave sharp set.

Speaker 16

Just wait a while, I'll have him.

Speaker 7

Yet, if I am right. We heard the sound of well trained voices singing, chorus and truly song must hear me bonds superbly from the arches over us.

Speaker 29

Are you perhaps a virtue?

Speaker 30

So?

Speaker 7

Oh? No, My USh is great, My power is only so. So give us a song if you desire a number, so.

Speaker 4

That it be a brand news drain.

Speaker 7

We have just retraced our way from Spain, the lovely land of wine and song and slumber. There was a king once reigning who had a big black flea.

Speaker 9

Hear hear a flea?

Speaker 29

Do you rightly take the jest? I call flee a tidy guest.

Speaker 7

There was a king once Reiining, who had a big black play and loved him past, explaining as his own son, where he he calls his man of stitches. The tailor comes straight away. Here mejia the lead for breeches and measure his coat, I say.

Speaker 30

But mind allow the tailor no caprices enjoined upon him, as his head is dear to most exactly measure so and sheer so that the breeches have no creases.

Speaker 7

In silk and velvet gleaming. He now was wholly dressed, had a coat with raven streaming. He crossed upon his breast. He had the first of stations, the minister, star and name, and also all his relations. Great lows that code became, and the lords and ladies of honor were plagued. Awa can in bed the queen she got them upon her. The maids were bitten and bred, and they did not dare to brush them or scratch them day or night. We crack them, and we crush them at once. Oneever, they buy.

Speaker 1

Shouting them, and we crush them at once.

Speaker 9

Bravo, bravo.

Speaker 4

That was fine, every flea ny So we fall.

Speaker 30

Point your fingers and nip them all.

Speaker 15

Hurrah for freedom, Hurrah for wine.

Speaker 7

I fain to drink with you, my class, to freedom, clinking. If it were a better wine that here I see you drinking.

Speaker 4

Don't let us hear that speech again.

Speaker 7

Do they not fear the landlord might complain. I treat these worthy guests with pleasure to some from out our sailor's treasure.

Speaker 4

Just treat and let the landlord near rain.

Speaker 29

And if the wine be good, our praises shall be ample. But do not give two very small a sample. For if it's quality, I decide with a goodly mouthful, I must be supplied aside.

Speaker 15

They're from the rhine. I guessed as much before.

Speaker 7

Bring me a gimlet here.

Speaker 30

What shall there with be done? You've not the casks already at the.

Speaker 15

Door yonder within the Landlord's box of tools, there's one.

Speaker 1

Takes the gimlet to Frosh.

Speaker 7

Now give me of your taste, some intimation.

Speaker 29

How do you mean? Have you so many kinds?

Speaker 7

The choice is free. Make up your minds too.

Speaker 15

Frosh uhhh, you lick your chops from sheer anticipation.

Speaker 29

Good if I have the choice, So let the wine be Rhinish. Our fatherland can best the sparkling cup.

Speaker 1

Replenish boring a hole in the edge of the table at the place where Frosh sits.

Speaker 7

Give me a little X to make the stoppers quick.

Speaker 15

Ah, I perceive a juggler's trick to.

Speaker 30

Braw and you Champagne shall be my wine, and let it sparkle fresh and fine bores.

Speaker 1

In the meantime one has made the wax stoppers and plug the holes with them.

Speaker 30

What foreign one can't always keep quite clear of? For good things oft are not so near. A German can't endure the French to see or hear of it. Drinks their wines with hearty cheer.

Speaker 1

As Methastopheles approaches his seat, for me.

Speaker 4

My grant, sour wine is out of place. Fill up my glass with sweetest will you.

Speaker 7

Boring two quaise, I'll flow at once to feel you no.

Speaker 15

Look me, sirs, straight in the face. I see you have your fun at our expense.

Speaker 7

Oh now, with gentlemen of such splittons that would to venture fine, indeed, speak out and make your choice with speed? Which what a vintage can I sell you?

Speaker 15

With any? Only satisfy our need.

Speaker 1

After the whole have been bored and plugged with singular gestures.

Speaker 7

Grapes, the wine stambears haunts that he good wears. The grapes are juicy, The wines are good to you. The table gives wine as good Into the depths of nature. Peer only believe there's a miracle here. Now draw the stoppers and drink your feel as.

Speaker 1

They draw out the stoppers, and the wine which has been desired flows into the glass of each.

Speaker 7

But have a care that do nothing.

Speaker 1

Spiel They drink, repeatedly, sing.

Speaker 7

Joy see not the race is happy. It is free to leave them, is my inclination. Take notice first your hostility will make a brilliant demonstration.

Speaker 1

Drinks carelessly. The wine spills upon the earth and turns to flame.

Speaker 4

Hell fire, hell, hell fire is sent.

Speaker 1

Charming away the flame.

Speaker 7

Be quiet, friendly element to the revelers. Beat the parquetry to us for this time merely?

Speaker 4

What mean you wait? You'll pay for dearly. You'll know what's to your detriment.

Speaker 29

Don't try that game a second time upon us.

Speaker 15

I think we'd better send him packing quietly.

Speaker 4

What sir, you dare to make so free and play your hocus focus on us?

Speaker 7

Be steel old dwang taw.

Speaker 4

Broomstick you you face it out, impertinent and heavy.

Speaker 30

Just wait.

Speaker 1

A shower of blows is ready, draws a stopper out of the table, fire flies in his face.

Speaker 15

Hi burn I.

Speaker 4

Burn 'tis magic? Strike? The knave is out one cut him.

Speaker 7

As you like.

Speaker 1

They draw their knives and run upon Mephistopheles with solemn gestures.

Speaker 7

False world and a palm of air, Jane's blaze and sense and snare be here and there.

Speaker 1

They stand amazed and look at each other.

Speaker 15

Where am I what a lovely land?

Speaker 9

Vines?

Speaker 15

Can I trust?

Speaker 29

My eyes?

Speaker 4

And purple grapes at hand?

Speaker 30

Here over this green arbor? Bending see what a vine? What grapes? Depending?

Speaker 1

He takes Sebel by the nose. The others do the same reciprocally, and raise their knives.

Speaker 7

As above, louse error from their eyes. The band and how the devil jests be now enlighted.

Speaker 1

He disappears with faust. The revelers start and separate.

Speaker 4

What happened?

Speaker 16

How was that your nose I tightened to Sebel?

Speaker 30

And yours still I have in hand.

Speaker 15

It was a blow that went through every limb. Give me a chair, I sink, my senses swim?

Speaker 29

But what has happened?

Speaker 7

Tell me now?

Speaker 30

Where is he?

Speaker 4

If I catch the scoundrel hiding, he's shown a vivil live, I vow.

Speaker 15

I saw him with these eyes upon a wine cast, riding out of the cellar door, just now still in my feet, the fright like lead is weighing.

Speaker 1

He turns towards the table.

Speaker 15

Why if the fountain wine should still be playing?

Speaker 4

Was all de seed and lying false design?

Speaker 29

And yet it seemed as I were drinking wine, but.

Speaker 30

With the grape? How what it prey?

Speaker 15

Shall one believe? No miracles, just say?

Speaker 1

Scene six Witch's kitchen. Upon a low hearth stands a great cauldron under which a fire is burning. Various figures appear in the vapors which rise from the caldron. An ape sits beside it, skims it and watches lest it boil over the he ape with the one sits near and warms himself. Ceiling and walls are covered with the most fantastic witch implements.

Speaker 9

These crazy signs of witches craft repel me. I shall recover? Dost thou tell me through this insane chaotic play from an old hag? Shall I demand assistance? And will her foul mess take away? Full thirty years from my existence? Woes me? Canst thou not better find another? Baffled hope must be lamented? Has nature then, and has a noble mind? Not any potent balsam yet invented.

Speaker 7

Once more, my friend, thou talkest sensibly There is to make de young is simpler more than apt. But in another book it is read for thee and is a most eccentric chapter.

Speaker 9

Yet will I know it good?

Speaker 7

The matter is reveiled without our gold or magic or physician. Betake thyself to yonder field, dear hole, and dick as thy condition. Restrain thyself thy sense and ill within the narrow sphere, to flourish with unmixed food. Thy body in nourish. Leave with the ox as ox, and think it not a theft that thou man nearest echa which thou reapest, that trust to me is the best mode left whereby for eighty years thy eat thou keepest.

Speaker 9

I am not used to that. I cannot stoop to try it, to take the spade in hand and ply it. The narrow being suits me not at all.

Speaker 7

Ten to thine aid thou, which must call.

Speaker 9

Wherefore the hag and her alone canst thou thyself.

Speaker 7

Not brew the potion that or a charming sport I own, I'd build a thousand reaches. Meanwhile, I have a notion not art and science serve alone. Patience must in the walk be shown. Long is the com brain active in creation? Time only strengthens the fine fermentation, and all belonging thereunto is rare and strange, however you take it. The devil taught the thing. It is true, and yet the devil cannot.

Speaker 1

Make it perceiving the animals.

Speaker 7

See what a delicate race they be? That is the mate the man is he?

Speaker 1

To the animals?

Speaker 7

It seems the mistress has gone away a.

Speaker 17

Lousing today, off and about.

Speaker 18

By the cheese?

Speaker 30

Right?

Speaker 7

What time takes sea for dissipating?

Speaker 30

Are we to warm?

Speaker 1

Our pall are waiting to faust?

Speaker 7

How findest doout the tender.

Speaker 9

Creatures absurder than I have yet did? See?

Speaker 7

Why just such talk as this for me is that which the most attractive features to the animals. But tell me now, ye cast puppets, why dst the ball is so we're cooking?

Speaker 9

Water is soof for sailors?

Speaker 7

Then a great public you can.

Speaker 1

Show comes up and falls on Mephistopheles.

Speaker 17

Oh cast thou the dice make me rich in a trice, Let me win in good season? Things are badly controlled. And had I but gold, so had I my reason?

Speaker 7

How would the ape be sure his luck enhances? Could he but try the lottery's chances.

Speaker 1

In the meantime, the young apes have been playing with a large ball, which they now roll forward.

Speaker 17

Hm, the world's the ball doth rise and fall and roll incessant like glass, doth ring a hollow thing? How soon wilt spring and drop? Quiescent?

Speaker 30

Here?

Speaker 17

Bright it gleams here, brighter seems I live at present, dear son, I say, keep thou away Thy doom spoken tis made of clay and will be broken.

Speaker 7

What means the thieve taking it down?

Speaker 17

Wert thou the thief? I'd know him and shame him.

Speaker 1

He runs to the she ape and lets her look through it.

Speaker 17

Look through the sieve. Know'st thou the thief, and darest not name him?

Speaker 1

Approaching the fire.

Speaker 7

And what is this spot?

Speaker 17

The fool knows it not, He knows not. The pot he knows not.

Speaker 7

The kettle, impertinent beast, take the brush here at least and sit down on the settle.

Speaker 1

He invites Mephistopheles to sit down. Faust, who during all this time has been standing before a mirror, now approaching and now retreating from it?

Speaker 9

What do I see? What heavenly form revealed shows through the glass from magic sphare dominions, Oh lend me love the swiftest of thy pinions, and bear me to her beauteous field. Ah, if I leave this spot with fond designing, if I attempt to venture near dim As through gathering mist, her charms appear a woman's form in beauty shining? Can woman then so lovely be? And must I find her body there? Reclining of all the heavens, the bright epitome can earth with such a thing be mated?

Speaker 7

Why surely if a god first plagues himself six days, then self conquer that Bravo says, must something clever be created this time? Thine eyes be sa she ate aliat detected thy sweetheart, and then stay a her And blessed is he who has the lucky fate. Some day as bridegroom home to.

Speaker 1

Bear her Faust gazes continually in the mirror. Mephistopheles, stretching himself out on the settle and playing with the brush, continues to speak.

Speaker 7

So set I, like the king upon his throne, I hold the skeptor here and lack the crown alone.

Speaker 1

The animals, who up to this time have been making all kinds of fantastic movements together bring a crown to Mephistopheles with great noise.

Speaker 17

Oh be thou so good with sweat and with blood, the crown to be lime.

Speaker 1

They handle the crown awkwardly and break it into two pieces, with which they spring around.

Speaker 9

Tis dyne, Let it be speak and we see, we heal, and we rhyme before the mirror woes me. I fear to lose my wits.

Speaker 1

Pointing to the animals.

Speaker 7

My own head now is really nigh to sinking.

Speaker 17

Its glovey arts, and everything fits tis thought.

Speaker 1

We're thinking as above.

Speaker 9

My bosom burns with that sweet vision. Let us with speed away from here.

Speaker 7

In the same attitude, one must at least make this admission. They are poets, genuine and sincere.

Speaker 1

The caldron, which the she Ape has up to this time neglected to watch, begins to boil over. There ensues a great flame which blazes out the chimney. The witch comes careering down through the flame with terrible cries.

Speaker 32

Ow Ow the damned beasts, the cursed sow, who leave the kettle and singe the frow a cursed.

Speaker 1

Fear perceiving faust and Mephistopheles, what is that here?

Speaker 18

Who are you here? What wants you thus? Who sneaks to us the fire pane, burn bone and brain.

Speaker 1

She plunges the skimming ladle into the caldron and scatters flames towards faust Mephistopheles and the animals. The animals whimper Mephistopheles, reversing the brush which he has been holding in his hand, and striding among the jars and glasses in.

Speaker 7

Two in two dealized de blue, dear lies de glass. The joke will pass as time paul as to the singing of dye crew.

Speaker 1

As the witch starts back full of wrath and horror.

Speaker 7

Ha knows to taal me abominition, Dao nostdao. At last, Thy Lord and Master, what hinders me from smitting? Now? Thee and thy monkey's pride which fell disaster hast for the scarlet coat. No reverence does recognize no more the tall cox feeder. Have I conceled discountenance? Must tell my name, old face of leader.

Speaker 18

Oh pardon sir, the resolute, Yet I perceive no cloven foot and both your ravens where are they now?

Speaker 7

This time I laid the escaped death, for since we two together met, it is verily full many a Dana culture which smoothed the whole world. Legs also onto the devil's sticks. The days of the old northern phantom now are over. Were cant their horns and tay and claws discover and as regards of food which I cannot spare in truth, it would only make the people shun me. Therefore I have won like many spin lead false calves these many years upon me dancing.

Speaker 18

Reason and sense forsake my brain. Since I behold squire Sating here.

Speaker 7

Again, omen from such a name, refrain, why so what has it done to thee? It has long been written in the book of fable. Yet therefore no whit better man, we see the evil one has left. The evil one's are stable. Sabaron, call me dowt than is the matter good? Akarelia? Am I like others in my berry? Thou hast no doubt about my noble blood. See here's the coat of arms that I am wearing.

Speaker 1

He makes an indecent gesture, laughs immoderately.

Speaker 18

Ah, that's just your way. I know a rogue you are, and you were always.

Speaker 7

So to fast, my friend, take proper heed, I pray to manage witches. This is just a way.

Speaker 18

Wherein sirs, Can I be views.

Speaker 7

Give us a goblet of the well known juice, But I must beg you of the oldest brewage the year said double strength, produce with all my heart.

Speaker 18

Now here's a bottle wherefrom sometimes I wet my throttle, which also not the slightest stinks, and willingly a glass I'll fill him, whispering. Yet this man, without do preparation drinks as well thou knowst within an hour two will kill him.

Speaker 7

He is a friend of mine with whom it will agree, and it deserves that kitchen's best partition. Come, draw the circle, speak to dynaseration and feel they gobblet full and free.

Speaker 1

The witch, with fantastic gestures, draws a circle and places mysterious articles therein. Meanwhile, the glasses begin to ring, the cauldron to sound and make a musical accompaniment. Finally, she brings a great book and stations in the circle, the apes, who are obliged to serve as reading desk and to hold the torches. She then beckons Faust to approach to Mephistopheles.

Speaker 9

Now what shall come of this? The creature's antic, the crazy stuff, the gestures, frantic, all the repulsive chats I view are known to me and hated too.

Speaker 7

Oh nonsense, that is a thing for laughter. Don't be so terribly severe, se jegals you has dark to now that after the bewitch me walk the proper cheer.

Speaker 1

The witch begins to declaim with much emphasis from the book, see that it's done.

Speaker 18

Make ten of one and two. Let v make even three, and rich thou it be cast over the four from five and six the witches tricks make seven, and eight tis finished straight, and nine is one, and ten is none. This is the witches.

Speaker 9

Once one's one, she talks like one who raves in fever.

Speaker 7

Don't hear much more before we leave her. It is all the same the book I can repeat such time I have squandered over the history. A contradiction does complete is always for otherwise no less than fools a mystery. The art is old and neil for very really, all ages have been taught the matter by three and one and one and three error. Instead of crude to scatter, they pray and titch, and no one interfares. All from

the fellowship of fools are shrinking. Man usually believes if only whatds he hears, that also then goes material for thinking.

Speaker 18

The witch continues the lofty skill of science still from all men deeply hidden. Who takes no thought to him? Tis broad, tis giving unsought.

Speaker 9

Unbidden, What nonsense she declaims before us. My head is nigh to split. I fear it seems to me as if I hear one hundred thousand fools in chorus.

Speaker 7

All sill excellent enough of adjuration. But he there bring us deportation. And quickly filled the bicker to the brim. This drink will bring my friend no injuries. He is a man of many fold degrees, and many jots are known to him.

Speaker 1

The Witch, with many ceremonies, pours the drink into a cup. As Faust sets it to his lips, A light flame arises.

Speaker 7

Down with it. Quickly drain it off. It will warm thy heart with new desire. Are to the devil, hand and glove, and wilt thou be afraid of fire?

Speaker 1

The Witch breaks the circle. Faust steps forth, and.

Speaker 7

Now away thou darst not rest.

Speaker 18

And much good? May the liquor do thee to the witch.

Speaker 7

Thy wish on. While Pogi's knight expressed, what boon I have shall then be given unto thee.

Speaker 18

Here is a song, which if you sometimes sing, you'll fight it. A peculiar operation.

Speaker 7

To faust come at once, A rapid occupation must start, the needful perspiration and throuldy frame, the likeer spotan's fling, the noble indolence. I'll teach deed n to treasure, and soon thou wilt be our with kinestreels of pleasure. How keep its tears and lips on light and restless wing.

Speaker 9

One rapid glance within the mirror. Give me how beautiful that woman form.

Speaker 7

No, no, the paragon of all. Believe me, thou soon shalt.

Speaker 1

See alive and war aside.

Speaker 7

Thou wilt find this drink thy blood compelling each woman beautiful as Helen.

Speaker 1

End of scene six, Scene seven, street Faust. Margaret passing by.

Speaker 9

Fair lady, Let it not offend you that arm and escort I would lend you.

Speaker 16

I'm neither lady, neither fair and home. I can go without your care.

Speaker 1

She releases herself and exit.

Speaker 9

By heaven. The girl is wondrous, fair of all I've seen beyond, compare so sweetly, virtuous and pure, and yet a little pert be sure, the lips so red, the cheeks cleared on. I'll not forget while the world rolls on. How she cast down her timid eyes deep in my heart imprinted lies. How short and sharp of speech was she. Why twas a real ecstasy. Mephistopheles enters here of that girl, I'd have possession. Wait them, the one who just went by.

Speaker 7

She did. She's coming from confession of every scene absolved. For eye behind her chair was listening nigh so nelsen to see, indeed that to conface she had no need. I have no power over souls so green, And yet.

Speaker 9

She is older than fourteen.

Speaker 7

How now you are talking like Jack Rake, who every flower for himself would take, and fancies there are no favors more nor honors save for him in store. Yet always doesn't the thing succeed.

Speaker 9

Most worthy pedagogue take heed. Let not a word of moral law be spoken. I claim, I tell thee all my right. And if that image of delight rests not within mine arms to night at midnight, our compact is broken.

Speaker 7

But think the chances of the case. I need at least a fortnight space to find that opportune ocagen.

Speaker 9

Had I but seven hours for all, I should not on the devil call. But win her by my own possession.

Speaker 7

You almost like a Frenchman prepped. Yet pray, don't take it as annoyance. Why all at once exhaust the giants. Your bliss is by no means so great as if you would use to get control all sorts of tender barrow and kneed, and shape heart to your tart. As in Italian tails. It is thought.

Speaker 9

Without that I have appetite.

Speaker 7

But now leave just thing out of sight. I tell you once, for all that speed which this fair girl will not succeed by storms, it cannot captured be. We must make use of strategy.

Speaker 9

Get me something the angel keeps. Lead me thither where she sleeps. Get me a kerchief from her breast, a garter that her knee has pressed.

Speaker 7

That you may see how much out fame father, and satisfy your pay, we will no longer lose a minute. I'll find her room to day and take you in it.

Speaker 9

And shall I see possess her.

Speaker 7

No until neighbors. She must go. And meanwhile thou alone mayst glow with every hope of future pleasure, breeding her atmosphere in fullest miser.

Speaker 9

Can we go thither?

Speaker 7

It is too early yet.

Speaker 9

A gift for her. I bid thee get.

Speaker 7

Exit presents at once. That's good, he's certain to get at her full many a pleasant place I know, and treacherous, buried long ago, I must pufforce, look up the matter.

Speaker 1

Exit scene eight evening, a small, neatly kept chamber, Margaret platting and binding the braids of her hair.

Speaker 16

I give something? Could I but say? Who was that gentleman today? Surely a gallant man was he? And of a noble family? And much could I in his face? Behold? And he wouldn't else have been so bold?

Speaker 1

Exit?

Speaker 7

Come in, but gently follow me, leave me alone.

Speaker 9

I beg of thee.

Speaker 7

Prying about, mop every girl, givest thing so neat.

Speaker 9

Looking around, Oh, welcome twilight, soft and sweet that breathes throughout this hallowed shrine, Sweet pain of love. Bind thou with Fetter's fleet, the heart that, on the due of hope must pine. How all around a sense impresses of quiet, order and content? This poverty, what bounty blesses? What bliss? Within this narrow den pent?

Speaker 1

He throws himself into a leathern arm chair near the bed.

Speaker 9

Receive me, thou that in thine open arms departed joy and pain were it wont to gather. How oft the children, with their ruddy charms hung here around this throne, where sat the father. Perchance my love amid the childish band, grateful for gifts the Holy Christmas gave her here meekly kissed the grandsire's withered hand. I feel, O, maid, thy very soul of order and content around me, whisper which

leads thee with its motherly control. The cloth upon thy board, bid smoothly THEE unroll the sand beneath thy feet makes whiter crisper, O dearest hand to THEE tis given to change this hut into a lower heaven.

Speaker 1

And here he lifts one of the bed curtains.

Speaker 9

What sweetest thrill is in my blood? Here? Could I spend whole hours delaying? Here, nature shaped as if in sportive playing, the angel blossom from the bud. Here lay the child with life's warm essence, the tender bosom, filled and fair, And here was wrought through holier purer presence, the form diviner beings? Where and I what drew me here with power? How deeply am I moved this hour? What seek I?

Speaker 30

Why?

Speaker 9

So full my heart and sore, miserable faust I know thee now no more is there a magic vapor here? I came with lust of instant pleasure and lie dissolved in dreams of love's sweet leisure? Are we the sport of every changeful atmosphere? And if this moment came, she in to me, how would I for the fault tonement render? How small the giant lout would be? Prone at her feet, relaxed and tender.

Speaker 7

Be quick, I see how dear returning go go.

Speaker 9

I never will retreat.

Speaker 7

Here is a cascade not unmeet which elsewhere I have just been awning. Here, said it in the press with haste, I swear it will turn her head to spite some bubbles I dearine, had placed that you might win another by it? True childish child, and play is play?

Speaker 9

I know not should I do it?

Speaker 7

Ask you pray yourself, perhaps would keep the bubble. Then I suggest it you fair and jest to spare the lovely day you'll last, and spare to me the further trouble. You are not miserly, I trust, I rub my hands with expectation tender.

Speaker 1

He places the casket in the press and locks it again.

Speaker 7

Now quick away, the sweet young maiden to betray, so that by wish and will you banned her, and to look as dill to the lecture hall you were forced to go, as if stood before your gray out load physics and not a physics boat.

Speaker 1

But away, Exitan Margaret with a lamp.

Speaker 16

It is so close, so sultry here she opens the window, and yet tis not so warm outside. I feel I know not why such fear would mother came? Where can she bide? My body's chill and shuddering. I'm but a silly, fearsome thing.

Speaker 1

She begins to sing while undressing.

Speaker 25

There was a king in Thuley was faithful till her grave, to whom his mistress dying Uh. The golden goblet gave Nort was to him more precious. He trained it at every bout. His eyes with tears ran over as oft as he drank thereout.

Speaker 16

When came his time of dying.

Speaker 25

The towns in his land he told nort as to his sad denying except the goblet of gold. He sat at the royal banquet with his knights of high degree, in the lofty hole of his father's in the castle by the sea, there stood the old Caro Sir, and drank the last la life glow, and all the hallowed goblet into the tide below. He saw it plunging and feeling and singing, deep and irsy. Then fell his eyelids forever and never more. Dragy.

Speaker 1

She opens the press in order to arrange her clothes, and perceives the casket of jewels?

Speaker 16

How comes that lovely casket?

Speaker 9

Here to me?

Speaker 16

I locked the press? Most certainly tis truly wonderful? What can within it be? Perhaps twas brought by someone as a pawn, And Mother gave a loane thereon, and here there hangs a key to fit. I have a mind to open it? What is that God in heaven? Whence came such things never beheld? I ought so fair rich Orderman, such as a noble dame on highest holidays might wear. How would the pearl chain suit my hair?

Speaker 9

Ah?

Speaker 16

Who may all this splendor own?

Speaker 1

She adorns herself with the jewelry, and steps before the mirror.

Speaker 16

Were but the ear rings mine alone? One has at once another air? What helps one's beauty? Youthful blood? One may possess them well and good, But none the more do others care. They praise us half in pity. Sure to gold still tends on gold depends all all alas we poor.

Speaker 1

Scene nine promenade Faust walking thoughtfully up and down to him Mephistopheles.

Speaker 7

By our love, ever rejected by health, higher heart, and not speary. I wish I knew something was that I might use it for swearing?

Speaker 9

What ails thee?

Speaker 30

What is it?

Speaker 9

Grips thee elf? A face like thine? Beheld?

Speaker 7

I never i ude myself under the devil deliver. If I am not a devil myself thy head.

Speaker 9

Is out of order. Sadly it much becomes thee to be raving madly.

Speaker 7

Just think the pocket of a priest should get the trinklets left for Margaret. The mother saw them an instant. A secret tread began to haunt her. Keen sand has sea for tainted air. She snuffs it in her book of prayer and smells each article to see if secret or profane it be. So here as he guessed from every gem that not much blessing came with them, my childish is said, he'll gotten good and sneers. The soul consumes the bird before the murder of God. We will

lay it with heavenly manners. He will repay. But Margaret taught with Sorker made a gift hours is not out of place, And truly godless cannot be the one who brought such things to me. A person came by the mother bidden, he saw at once where the game was hidden, and viewed it with a favor. Still they he spake, that is the proper view. Who overcome it? We net do. The holy chair says a stomach healthy had eaten many a land, as forefeet, and never ea it complained of

suff feet. The chairs alone beyond all question. As for igotten goods, the ridization.

Speaker 9

A general practice is the same which jew and king may also claim.

Speaker 7

Then begged the spangles, chains and rings, as if but bootstools were the things, and thanked no less than thanked no more than if a seck of nuts. He bore, promised them fullest, hanly pay and deeply defied with And Margaret sits unrestful steel, and knows not what she should or will thinks on the jewels day and night, but more on him who gave her such delight.

Speaker 9

The darling sorrow gives me pain. Get thou a set for her again. The first was not a great display.

Speaker 7

Oh yes, the gentleman finds it all child's play.

Speaker 9

Fix and arrange it to my will. And on her neighbor, try thy skill. Don't be a devil stiff as paste, but get fresh jewels to her taste.

Speaker 7

Yes, gracious sir, in all obedience, Exit fast. Such an animal fool in air would blow sun Moon and all the starriledians to give his sweetheart a diabating show.

Speaker 1

Exit seam ten the neighbor's house.

Speaker 18

Martha, soulless, God, forgive my husband, Yet he hasn't done his duty by me oft in the world. He went straightway. Let me lie in the straw where I lay, and truly I did not fret him.

Speaker 33

God knows I loved and can't forget him. Oh, she weeps, Perhaps he's even dead. Ah, whoa had I you certificate to show?

Speaker 18

Margaret comes day, Martha, Margaret, what happened thee.

Speaker 16

I scarce can stand. My knees are trembling. I find a box, the first resembling within my press of ebone, and things all splendid to behold and richer father than worthy. Old.

Speaker 18

You mustn't tell it to your mother, twould go to the priest as did the.

Speaker 16

Other A look and see, just look and see Martha adorning her.

Speaker 18

Oh, what a blessed luck for thee.

Speaker 16

But ah in the streets I dare not bear them, or in the church be seen to wear them.

Speaker 18

Yet thou canst often this way, wonder and secretly the jewels down, walk up and down an hour before the mirror yonder we'll have our private joy therein, and then a chance will come, a holiday when peace by piece can want the things abroad display a chain at first, then other ornament. Thy mother will not see, and stories will invent.

Speaker 16

Whoever could have brought me things so precious? That something's wrong? I feel suspicious? A knock good Heaven, my mother?

Speaker 1

Can that have been Martha peeping through the blind?

Speaker 18

'tis some strange gentleman?

Speaker 4

Come in?

Speaker 7

Mephistopheles enters, Dad, I so boldly introduce me. I beg you, ladies to excuse me.

Speaker 1

Steps back reverently.

Speaker 7

On seeing Margaret for Martha sweedleen, I'll inquire.

Speaker 18

I'm she? What does the gentleman desire lease assigned to her?

Speaker 7

It is enough that you are she? You have a visitor of a high degree. Pardon the freedom I have taken. Well, afternoon, return again, Mather aloud of all.

Speaker 18

Things in the world.

Speaker 7

Just here.

Speaker 18

He takes thee for a lady.

Speaker 16

Dear, I am a creature, young and poor. The gentleman's too kind. I'm sure the jewels don't belong to me, Ah, not.

Speaker 7

Alone the jewelry to look the man are both to betray, rejoice themire that I may stay.

Speaker 18

What is your business? I would feign?

Speaker 7

I would I had a more cheerful strain. Take not unkindly to repeating your husband is dead, and sense it greeting is dead.

Speaker 18

Alas that heart's so true, my husband dead.

Speaker 16

Let me die too, Ah, dearest dame, Let not your courage.

Speaker 7

Fail relate the mournful tale.

Speaker 16

Therefore I'd never love. Believe me a loss like this to death would grieve me.

Speaker 7

Joy follows oooh wooh, of the joy comes flying.

Speaker 18

Relate his life, said close to me.

Speaker 7

In Padua buried, he is lying beside a good saint, Anthony with in a grave whale consecrated for cool at an unrest created.

Speaker 18

He gave you further no commission.

Speaker 7

Yes, want of weight with many shyes, three hundred masses by to save the imprompt podition. My hands are empty.

Speaker 16

Otherwise what not a pocket piece?

Speaker 18

No jewelry. But every journeyman within his wallet spares, and as a token with him bears, and rather starves or begs than loses.

Speaker 7

Madam, it is a grief to me. Yet on my word, his cash was put to proper uses. Besides, his penitence was very sore, and lamented his ill fortune all the more a lack.

Speaker 16

That men are so unfortunate. Surely, for his soul's sakeful many a prayer, I'll profit.

Speaker 7

You will deserve a speedy marriage offer. You are so kind compasonate.

Speaker 16

Oh no, as yet it would not do if not a.

Speaker 7

Husband, then a bo for you. It is the greatest heavenly blessing to have a dear thing for one's caressing.

Speaker 16

The country's custom is not so custom, or.

Speaker 7

Not it happens, though, continue pray. I stood beside his bed of dying. It was something better than many or half rotten straw. And yet he died a Christian sure, and found that heavier scores to his account were lying. He cried, I find my conduct wholly hateful. To leave my wife, my tread in manner so ungrateful. Oh, the remembrance may makes me die, would of my wrong to her?

Speaker 1

I might be shriven mother weeping the.

Speaker 18

Dear good man long stince was he forgiven?

Speaker 7

Yet see, God knows was more to blame than I sheed. What on the brink of death he slandered in the last shows his senses wented if by such things but huff can judge? He said, I had no time for playing, for keeping freedom, first children, and then walk for bread to feed them, for bread in the widest sense to judge, and could not even eat my share in peace and quiet?

Speaker 18

Had he all love, all faith forgotten in his riot my work, and worried day and night.

Speaker 7

Not so the memory of it touched him quiet, said he. When I from Malta went away, my prayers for wife and little ones were jealous, and such luck from heaven befell us. We made a Turkish merchantman our prey that to the Sultan bore a mighty treasure than I received, as was most fit, since bravery was paid in fullest measure my well apportioned share of it.

Speaker 18

Say, how say where if buried did he own it?

Speaker 7

Who knows now? Whether the four winds have blown it? A fair young damsel took him in her care as he in Naples wandered, rounded, unfriended, and see much love. Much fate to him did bear, so that he felt it till his days were ended.

Speaker 18

The villain from his children, thieving. Even all the misery on him cast could not prevent a shameful way of living.

Speaker 7

But se he is dead, therefrom at last, where I in your place? Do not doubt me. I would bore him dissently a year, and for another. Keep meanwhile my eyes about.

Speaker 18

Me, Oh God, another one so dear as was my first, This world will hardly give me. There never was a sweeter fool than mine. Only he loved to roam and leave me, and foreign wenches and foreign wine, and the damped throw of dice. Indeed, well well.

Speaker 7

That might have done. However, if he had only been as clever and treated your slips with as little heat, I swear with this condition too, I wou'd myself Jane's rings with hear.

Speaker 18

The gentleman is pleased to jest, I.

Speaker 7

Will cut away bit times from here. She would take the devil at his world. I fear to Margaret, how fears the heart within your breast?

Speaker 16

What means the gentleman?

Speaker 7

Aside, sweet innocent to our art aloud, ladies, farewell, farewell a moment every part.

Speaker 18

I'd like to have a legal witness where, how and when he died, to certify his fitness irregular ways I've always hated. I want his death. In the weekly paper stated.

Speaker 7

Yes, my good day, A pair of witnesses always the truth establishious. I have a friend of high condition who will also add his deposition. I will bring him here, good sir, pray do, and this young lady will be present too. A callant yield has traveled far. Ladies with him delighted.

Speaker 16

Are before him. I should blush, ashamed.

Speaker 7

Before no king that could be named Hide the house.

Speaker 18

In my garden. Then this evil will expect the.

Speaker 1

Gentlemen scene eleven a street faust?

Speaker 9

How is it underway and soon complete?

Speaker 1

Mephistopheles, Ah, bravo.

Speaker 7

Do I find your barning well? Margaret? Smone will steal your yarning at neighbor MARTA's. You will this evening meet a fitter woman. Neighbor was made to pry the pimp and gypsy trade. Tis well, Yet something is required from us.

Speaker 9

One service pays the other.

Speaker 7

Thus we have but to make a deposition valid that now her husband's limbs outstretched and pallid at padua rest in consecrated soil.

Speaker 9

Most wise, and first of course we'll make the journey.

Speaker 7

Thither sanct the simplicitius. No need of such a toile. Depose with knowledge or without it either.

Speaker 9

If you've no better, then I'll tear your pretty plan.

Speaker 7

Now there you are, oh holy man, is it the first time in your life you are driven to bear false witness in a case of God? The world and all that in it has a place of man and all that moves the being of his race. Have you not toms and definitions given with presen forehead, daring breast, And if you will probe the thing profoundly knew you so much, and you will confess it roundly as here of Swardling's death and place of rest.

Speaker 9

Thou art and thou remain'st a sophest liar.

Speaker 7

Yes, knew I not more deeply thy desire faul will doun not no love or fairer poor Margaret flatter, and as near her and all thy show's devotion, swear how and from my heart it ease very fine dyne endless love, thy fate a siering to run almighty force and theory, will that too prompted disheart of.

Speaker 9

Diyme, hold hold it will, if such my flame, and for the sense and power intense I seek and cannot find a name, Then range with all my senses through creation, craving the speech of inspiration, and call this ardor so supernal, endless, eternal and eternal? Is that a devilish lying game?

Speaker 7

And yet I am right?

Speaker 9

Mark this, I beg of thee, and spare my lungs. Henceforth, whoever intends to have the right, if but his tongue be clever, will have it certainly. But come the further talking brings disgust for thou art right, especially since I must.

Speaker 1

Seam twelve Garden, Margaret on Faust's arm, Martyr and Mephistopheles walking up and down.

Speaker 16

I feel the gentleman allows for me, demeans himself, and shames me by it. A traveler is so used to be kindly content with any diet. I know too well that my poor gossip can never entertain such an experienced man.

Speaker 9

A look from thee, a word more entertains than all the lore of wisest brains.

Speaker 16

He kisses her hand, don't incommode yourself. How could you ever kiss it? It is so ugly rough to see what work I do? How hard and steady is it? Mother is much too close with me?

Speaker 18

They pass, and you, sir, travel always, do you not.

Speaker 7

Alas that trade and duty are so hairy, with what a pang one leaves so many as part, and dear is not even now? And then to tarry in.

Speaker 18

Young wild years. It suits your ways this round and round the world, in freedom sweeping. But then come on the evil days, and so as bachelor into his grave a creeping none ever found a thing to praise.

Speaker 7

I dread to see how such a fate advances.

Speaker 18

Then, worthy, sir, improve betimes your chances.

Speaker 1

They pass.

Speaker 16

Yes, out of sight is out of mind your courtesy and easy graces. But you have friends in other places, and sensibler than I.

Speaker 9

You'll find, trust me, dear heart. What men call sensible is oft mere, vanity and narrowness. How so ah, that simplicity and innocence. Ne'er know themselves their holy value and their spell that meekness, lowliness, the highest graces which nature portions out so lovingly.

Speaker 16

So you but think a moment's space on me all times I'll have to think of you all places.

Speaker 9

No doubt you are much alone.

Speaker 16

Yes, for our household small has grown, yet must be cared for you will own. We have no maid. I do the knitting, sewing, sweeping, the cooking, early work and late in fact, and Mother, in her notions of housekeeping, is so exact. Not that she needs so much to keep expenses down. We more than others might take comfort. Rather, a nice estate was left us by my father, a house, a little garden near the town. But now my days have less of noise and hurry. My brother is a soldier.

My little sister's dead. True with the child, the troubled life I led, yet I would take again, and willing all the worry.

Speaker 9

So very dear was she an angel if like thee I bought.

Speaker 16

It up, and it was fond of me. Father had died before it saw the light. A mother's case seemed hopeless quite so weak and miserable she lay, and she recovered then so slowly day by day. She could not think herself of giving the poor wee thing its natural living. And so I nursed it all alone with milk and water, twas my own lulled in my lap with many a song, it smiled and humbled and grew strong.

Speaker 9

The purest bliss was surely then thy dower.

Speaker 16

But surely also many a weary hour I kept the baby's cradle near my bed at night, ift even stirred. I'd guess it and waking here, and I must nurse it warm beside me, press it and oft to quiet fit my bed, forsake and dandling back and forth the restless creature take then at the washtub stand morning's break, and then the marketing and kitchen tending day after day, the same thing, never ending one's spirit. Sir, are thous not always good? But then one learns to relish rest and food they pass.

Speaker 18

Yes, the poor women are bad off, tis true a stubborn bachelor.

Speaker 7

There's no converting heat, but depends upon the like of an yell. And I should turn to better ways than flatting.

Speaker 18

Speak plainly, sir, have you no one detected? Has not your heart been anywhere subjected?

Speaker 7

The provob says, one's own warm heart and a good wife are gold and Jewel's what I mean?

Speaker 18

Have you not felt desire? Though ne're so slightly?

Speaker 7

I have everywhere, in fact been entertained politely I meant to.

Speaker 18

Say, were you not touched in earnest?

Speaker 7

Ever, one should allow oneself to jest with ladies.

Speaker 18

Never, Ah, you don't understand.

Speaker 7

I am sorry. I'm so blind, but I'm sure that you are very kind.

Speaker 1

They pass and.

Speaker 9

Me, thou Angel, didst thou recognize as through the garden gate I came?

Speaker 16

Did you not see it? I cast down my eyes, and.

Speaker 9

Thou forgivest my freedom and the blame to my impertinence be fitting as the cathedral, thou wert quitting.

Speaker 16

I was confused the like new happened to me. No one could ever speak to my discredit, Ah, thought I in my conduct? Has he read it something immodest or unseemly free? He seemed to have the sudden feeling that with this wench to a very easy dealing. I will confess I knew not what appeal your behalf here in my bosom grew. But I was angry with myself to feel that I could not be angrier with you, sweet darling. Wait awhile she.

Speaker 1

Plucks a starflower and pulled off the leaves one after the.

Speaker 9

Other, shall that a nosegay be?

Speaker 18

No?

Speaker 16

It is just in play. How go you'll laugh at me.

Speaker 34

She pulls off the leaves and murmurs, what murmurest thou half aloud? He loves me, He loves me, not thou, sweet angelic soul.

Speaker 1

Margaret continues, loves me, not loves me. Not plucking the last leaf, she cries with frank delight.

Speaker 9

He loves me, Yes, child, and let this blossom word for thee be speech divine. He loves thee. Ah knowest thou what it means. He loves thee.

Speaker 1

He grasps both her hands.

Speaker 16

I'm all a.

Speaker 9

Tremble, Oh tremble not, but let this look, let this warm clasp of hands declare thee. What is unspeakable? To yield one wholly, and to feel a rapture in yielding that must be eternal, eternal, for the end would be despair. No, no, no ending, no ending.

Speaker 1

Martyr coming forward, The night is falling.

Speaker 18

Hi, we must away, I'd ask you longer here to terry. But evil tongues in this town have full play. It's as if nobody had nothing to fetch and carry, nor other labor. But spying all the doings of one's neighbor, and one becomes the talk do whatser one may where is our couple?

Speaker 7

Now flown up to alley yonder doingful summer buds.

Speaker 18

He seems of her still fonder, and.

Speaker 7

She of him, so runs to walled away.

Speaker 1

End of Scene twelve. Scene thirteen a garden arbor. Margaret comes in, conceals herself behind the door, puts her finger to her lips, and peeps through the crack. He comes, Faust, entering.

Speaker 9

Aha, rogue, I tease thou art, I have thee.

Speaker 1

He kisses her, Margaret clasping him and returning the kiss.

Speaker 16

Dearest man, I love THEE from my heart.

Speaker 1

Mephistopheles knocks, Faust, stamping his foot.

Speaker 9

Who's there?

Speaker 7

A priend a beast? It is time to separate, martyr.

Speaker 18

Coming, yes, sir tis late?

Speaker 9

May I not then? Upon you wait?

Speaker 16

My mother would farewell?

Speaker 9

Ah can I not remain? Farewell?

Speaker 16

Adieu and soon to meet again?

Speaker 1

Exitant Faust and Mephistopheles.

Speaker 16

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.

Speaker 1

Exit Seen fourteen, Forest and Cavern faust, solus.

Speaker 9

Spirit sublime. Thou gavest me, gavest me all for which I prayed, not unto me in vain hast thou thy countenance revealed in fire. Thou givest me nature as a kingdom grand with power to feel and to enjoy it. Thou not only cold, amazed acquaintance yieldst, but grantest that in her profoundest breast I gaze as in the bosom of a friend, the ranks of living creatures. Thou dost lead before me, teaching me to know my brothers in

air and water, in the silent wood. And when the storm in forests roars and grinds, the giant firs in falling neighbor boughs and neighbor trunks with crushing weight bear down and falling fill the hills with hollow thunders. Then to the cave secure Thou leadest me. Then show'st me mine own self, and in my breast the deep mysterious

miracles unfold. And when the perfect moon before my gaze comes up with soothing light around me, float from every precipice and thicket damp, the silvery phantoms of the ages past and temper the austere delight of thought that nothing can be perfect unto man. I now am conscious with this ecstasy, which brings me nearer and nearer to the gods. Thou gavest the comrade whom I now no more can

do without. Though cold and scornful, he demeans me to myself, and with a breath a word transforms thy gifts to nothingness. Within my breast. He fans a lawless fire, unwearied for that fair and lovely form. Thus, in desire I hasten to enjoyment, and in enjoyment pine to feel desire Mechistopheles enters, Have you.

Speaker 7

Not led this life quite long enough? How can a father test delight? He? It is very well that once one tries to stuff, but something new must then require to you?

Speaker 9

Would there were other work for thee to plague my day? Auspicious?

Speaker 7

Thou returnest, well, I'll engage to let D b Thou darest not tell me so, In honest, the loss of d were truly very slight, Comrade, crazy, rude, repelling. One has one's hands full all day and night. If what one does or leaves undone is right from such a face as thine there is no telling.

Speaker 9

There is again thy proper tone that thou hast bored me. I must thankful be poor son of Art. How couldst thou doest alone have led thy life bereft of me? I for a time at least have worked thy cure thy fancies ricketts plague d not at all had I not been so, hadst thou sure walked thyself off this artly ball? Why head to Cavin's rocky hollow slinking, since

thou as it were an owl? A blinking Why is saxt from sodden mass and dripping stone toad like thy nourishment alone a fine way this thy time to feel the doctor is in thy body steel? What fresh and vital forces canst thou guess spring from my commerce with the wilderness? But if thou hadst the power of guessing, thou wouldst be devil enough to grudge my soul the blessing.

Speaker 7

A blessing drawn from supernatural fountains in night and deal to lie upon the mountains all heaven and Art in rapture, O pinup trading thyself to godhood halftill inflating to grub with ye aning force through Art's dark marrow compress the six days' work within thy bosom, narrow to taste. I know not what in half to power thine own ecstatic life on things, shower thine only self behind decast, and then the lofty instinct that with a gesture at last, I dare not say how to pluck the final flower

shame on thee yes. Thou findest that unpleasant, thou hast a moral right to crime a shame at present one, there's not that before chest years declare which chest hearts notethstanding, cannot spare. And once for all, I crutch dee not the pleasure of lying to die solf in moderate measure, But such a course thou wilt not long end. Dear already ador or excited, and if it last, will soon

be platted to madness and to horror. Shore Enough of that thy loves is lonely, yonder by all things, sudden and oppressed her thoughts and yearnings, seeing Dee tender or fonder,

my the love is in her breast. First came thy passion flood and poured around her, as when from melted snow where stremblet overflows, Thou hast to tear it so filled and drownd her that now thy stream all shallow shows methinks, instead of in the forest's loding, the novel sir, should find it good the love of this young silly blood at once to set about reporting her time is

miserably long. She haunts a window, watching clouds that stray over the old city wall, and far away where I a little bird surruns her song day long and half night long. Now she is lively, mostly said, now wept beyond her tears, then again quiet he appears always love mad.

Speaker 1

Serpent, serpent Mephistopheles. Aside her, Do I trap thee?

Speaker 9

Get thee away with thine offenses, reprobate name not that fairest thing, nor the desire for her sweet body. Bring again before my half distracted senses.

Speaker 7

What lt thou then see things that thou art flown, and half and half the art I own?

Speaker 9

Yet am I near, and love keeps watch and ward. Though I were ne'er so far, it cannot falter. I envy even the body of the Lord, the touching of her lips before the altar.

Speaker 7

It is very well my envy oft reposes on your twin pair that feed among their roses.

Speaker 9

Away thou pimp your.

Speaker 7

Real and it is fun to me to God, who fashioned eat and mate, perceived the noblest paupas off his trade, and also met dear opportunity. Go on. It is a whooper found it tease for your sweets through me are bound, and not for that indeed.

Speaker 9

What are within her arms the heavenly blisses. Though I be glowing with her kisses, do I not always share

her need? I am the fugitive, all houseless, roaming, the monster without air or rest, that like a cataract down rocks and gorges, foaming leaps, maddened into the abyss's breast and sidewards She with young, unwakened senses, within her cabin on the alpine field, her simple homely life commences, her little world therein concealed, and I God's hate flung o'er me had not enough to thrust the stubborn rocks before me and strike them into dust. She and her peace

I yet must undermine. Thou hell hast claimed this sacrifice as thine help, devils through the coming pains to push me what must be. Let it quickly be that fall on me. Her fate can also crush me. One ruin, whelm both her and me again.

Speaker 7

It seeds again, it glows. Thouful, go in and comfort her. When such a head has dyed, No outlet knows it thinks the end must soon occur. Hail him who keeps his step first mind Dao as dost well the devil natureware not so insipid in the world I find as is a devil in despair.

Speaker 1

Scene fifteen, Margaret's Room, Margaret as the spinning wheel alone.

Speaker 16

My peace is gone, my heart is sore. I never shall find it ah, never more save I I have him near. The grave is here. The world is gall and bitterness. All My poor weak head is racked and crazed. My thought is lost, my sense is mazed. My peace is gone, My heart is sore. I never shall find

it ah never more. To see him him only at the pain I sit, to meet him, him only the house I quit, his lofty gait, his noble size, the smile of his mouth, the power of his eyes, and the magic flow of his talk, the bliss in the clasp of his hand, and ah, his kiss. My peace is gone, my heart is sore. I never shall find it ah never more. My bosom yearns for him alone, Ah dared I clasp him and hold and own and kiss his mouth to heart's disease, and on his kisses at last expire.

Speaker 1

Scene sixteen Martyr's Garden, Margaret.

Speaker 16

Promise me, Henry Faust, what I can howest with thy religion. Pray thou art a dear, good hearted man. And yet I think dost not incline that way?

Speaker 9

Leave that, my child, Thou knowest my love is tender. For love, my blood and life what I surrender. And as for faith and church I grant to each his own.

Speaker 16

That's not enough. We must believe thereon, must we that I had some influence? Then too, thou honorest not the holy sacraments. I honor them, desiring no possession. Tis long since thou hast been to mass or two confession. Believest thou in God?

Speaker 9

My darling? Who shall dare I believe in God? To say? Ask priest ors age the answer to declare, and it will seem a mocking play, a sarcasm on the asker. Then thou believest not hear me, not falsely, sweetest countenance, who dare express him and who profess him? Saying I believe in Him? Who feeling, seeing deny his being, saying, I believe him not the all enfolding, the all upholding folds and upholds he not. Thee me himself arches not there.

The sky above us lies not beneath us, firm the earth, and rise not on a shining friendly the everlasting stars. Look I not eye to eye on thee, and feelst not thronging to head and heart, the force still weaving its eternal secret, invisible, visible round thy life, vast as it is, fill with that force, thy heart. And when thou, in the feeling wholly blessed art call it, then what thou wilt call it? Bliss, heart, love God? I have

no name to give it. Feeling is all in all The name is sound and smoke, obscuring Heaven's clear glow.

Speaker 16

All that is fine and good to hear it so much the same way the preacher spoke, only with slightly different phrases.

Speaker 9

The same thing. In all places. All hearts that beat beneath the heavenly day, each in its language, say why then not I in mine as well? To hear it.

Speaker 16

Thus it may seem passable, And yet some hitch in there must be for thou hast no Christianity, dear Love, I've long been grieved to see that thou art in such company. How So the man who with thee goes thy mate. Within my deepest, innermost soul, I hate in all my life. There's nothing has given my heart so keen a pang of loathing, as his repulsive face has done.

Speaker 9

Nay, fear him, not, my sweetest one.

Speaker 16

I feel his presence like something ill I've else for all a kindly will. But much is my heart to see thee yearneth. The secret horror of him returneth, and I think the man a knave as I live. If I do him wrong, may God forgive.

Speaker 9

There must be such queer birds, however.

Speaker 16

Live with the like of him. May I never. When once inside the door comes he he looks around so sneeringly and half in wrath, one sees that in nothing, no interest he hath tis written on his forehead that love to him is a thing abhorred. I am so happy on thine arm, so free, so yielding, and so warm, and in his presence stifled seems my.

Speaker 9

Heart foreboding Angel, that thou art.

Speaker 16

It overcomes me in such degree that wheresoever he meets us, even I feel as though I'd lost my love for THEE. When he is by, I could not pray to Heaven that burns within me like a flame. And surely Henry tis with THEE the same.

Speaker 9

There now is thine antipathy.

Speaker 16

But I must go.

Speaker 9

Ah, Shall there never be a quiet hour to see us fondly plighted, with breast to breast and soul to soul united.

Speaker 16

Ah, If I only slept alone, I'd draw the bolt to night for thy desire. But my mother's sleep so light has grown, and if we were discovered by her, twould be my death upon the spot?

Speaker 9

How angel fear it?

Speaker 7

Not?

Speaker 9

Here is a vial in her drink, but three drops of it measure, and deep as sleep will on her senses sink?

Speaker 16

What would I not to give THEE pleasure? It will not harm her when one tries it?

Speaker 9

If it would my love, would I advise it?

Speaker 16

Ah, dearest man, If but thy face I see, I know not what compels me to thy will. So much have I already done for THEE, that scarcely more is left me to fulfill.

Speaker 1

Enter Mephistopheles, Exit, Margaret, mephistophe.

Speaker 7

The monkey is he gone?

Speaker 9

Hast played the spy again.

Speaker 7

I have had how fully see g D. The doctor has been kept sized. It is plain great good. I hope the thing will do D. The girls have much desire to ascertain if one is prim and good as NSI, and rules compel, if there he is let to think he will follow them as well.

Speaker 9

Thou monster, wilt nor see nor own how this pure soul of faith, so lowly, so loving and ineffable, the faith alone, that her salvation is with scruples, holy pines, lest she hold as lost the man she loves so well?

Speaker 7

Taou full of sense well super sensual desire. A girl by the nose is leading.

Speaker 9

D abortion Thou of filth and fire?

Speaker 7

And then how masterly is he reads physio not me? When I'm present, She's impressed, she knows not how she in my mask a hidden sounds oudriy. She feels that surely I'm a genius. Now perhaps the very devil in beed well, well tony, what's that to thee yet my delight? It will also be.

Speaker 1

Seen seventeen at the Fountain Margaret and Lizabeth with pictures.

Speaker 18

Lizbeth has nothing heard of Barbara.

Speaker 16

Margaret No not a word, I go so little out.

Speaker 18

It's true, Sybylla said. Today she's played the fool at last, there's not a doubt such taking on of airs. How so it stinks she's feeding too, wheere she eats and drinks, And so at last it serves her rightly. She clung to the fellow so long and tightly. That was a promenading at village and dance, parading as the first they must everywhere shine. And he treated her always to pies and wine. And she made it to do with her face so fine, So mean and shameless was her behavior.

She took all the presents the fellow gave her twas kissing and coddling, on and on. So now at the end the flower is gone.

Speaker 16

The poor poor thing.

Speaker 18

Does pity her that when one of us at spinning sat, and mother knights ne'er let us at the door, she sported with her paramour on the door bench in the passage dark, the length of the time they'd never mark. So now her head no more shall lift, but do church penance and her sinner shift.

Speaker 16

He'll surely take her for his wife.

Speaker 18

He'd be a fool. A brisk young blade has room elsewhere to ply his trade. He's gone.

Speaker 16

That is not fair.

Speaker 18

If him she gets, why let her be where the boy shall dash? Are weeth on the floor and will scatter chaft before her door exit.

Speaker 16

Margaret returning home, How scornfully I once reviled, when some poor maiden was beguiled more speech than any tongue suffices. I craved to censure other's vices. Black as it seemed, I blackened still and blacker, Yet was in my will, and blessed myself, and boasted high, and now a living CINEMI Yet all that drove my heart there too, God was so good, so dear, so true.

Speaker 1

Scene eighteen Don John in a niche of the wall, a shrine with an image of the martyr dolerosa, pots of flowers before it, Margaret putting fresh flowers in the pots.

Speaker 16

Incline, O maiden, thou sorrow laden thy gracious countenance upon my pain the sword thy heart in with anguish smarting, Thou lookest up to where thy son is slain. Thou seest the father thy sad size, gather and bear aloft thy sorrow and his pain. Ah past guessing beyond expressing the pangs that wring my flesh and bone. Why this anxious heart so burneth, Why it trembleth, why it yearneth? Knowest thou and thou alone where'er I go?

Speaker 4

What sorrow?

Speaker 27

What?

Speaker 7

Whoa?

Speaker 30

What woe?

Speaker 16

And sorrow? Within my bosom aches alone? And ah, I'm sleeping. I'm weeping, weeping, weeping. The heart within me breaks the pots before my window alas my tears did wet as in the early morning for thee these flowers I set, But within my lonely chamber, the more sun shone red. I sat in utter sorrow, already on my bed. Help rescue me from death, and stain o maiden ow sorrow laden incline my countenance upon my pain.

Speaker 1

Scene nineteen night Street, before Margaret's door, Valentine, a soldier Margaret's brother.

Speaker 4

What I have set at some corrous were each to each his brag allows, and many a comrade praise to me the pink of girls right lustily, with brimming glass that spilled the toast and elbows planted as in boast. I sat in unconcerned repose and heard the swagger as it rose and stroking then my beard, I'd say, smiling the bumper in my hand. Each well enough in her own way. But is there one in all the land like sister Margaret good as gold, One that to her

can a candle hold cling clang. Here's to her went around the board. He speaks the truth, cried some in her. The flower of the sex is found. And all the swaggerers were dumb. And now I could tear my hair with vexation, and dash on my brains in desperation, with turned up nose. Each scamp may face me with sneers and stinging taunts, disgrace me, and like a bankrupt deador setting a chance dropped, a word may set me sweating. Yet though I thrashed them all together, I cannot call

them liars either. But what comes sneaking there to view? If I mistake not there are two. If he's one, let me add it dry. He shall not leave this spot alive.

Speaker 9

How from the window of the sacristy upward the eternal lamp sends forth a glimmer that lessening side words, fainter grows and dimmer, till darkness closes from the sky. The shadows Thus within my bosom gather.

Speaker 7

I'm like a sentimental tom cattratda that round the tall fire ladder sweeps, and still they then along the coping crepes, quite virtuously tall. I come a little thievious and a little frolicsome I feel in every limbed of pressage for running the grain dwal pauses night, day after tomorrow brings its message. And when keep's watch tenert de.

Speaker 9

Light, meanwhile, may not the treasure risen be which there behind I, glimmering.

Speaker 7

See, shall soon experienced the pleasure to lift Cattley out its treasure. I lately gave dear in a squaint saw splendid lion dollars.

Speaker 9

In it, not even a jewel, not a ring to deck therewith my darling girl.

Speaker 7

I saw, I'm under rest a thing that seemed to be a chain of burn.

Speaker 9

That's well indeed for painful? Is it to bring no gift when her I visit?

Speaker 7

Thou should not find it so annoying, would not return to be enjoying. Now while the sky lets forth its starry wrong, thou wilt hear a masterpiece, no war completer. I will sing her first immorl song. But sure afterwards to cheetah.

Speaker 1

Sings to the sitter, what dost thou hear in?

Speaker 31

They break clear get ray in a dear before thy lovers do beware the blame. Let's see a mate. That's how the maid they But it never more the quexumption of such an one, when one say it is done, good night to dee. What love's time is brief? Until no tea be warm?

Speaker 30

Leave?

Speaker 7

But to the wading ring.

Speaker 1

Valentine comes forward.

Speaker 4

Whom wilt thou, lord, God's element rat catching piper, thou perdition to the devil, first the instrument to the devil, then the cursed musician.

Speaker 7

The seder is smashed for nothing more. It is fading.

Speaker 4

There is yet a skull.

Speaker 7

I must be splitting to faust, saw doctor, don't retreat. I pray stand by. I'll lead if you will, But terry out to just be do that delay you have but to lunge, and I will parry.

Speaker 4

Then parry that.

Speaker 7

Why not it is light?

Speaker 1

That's too of course, I think the.

Speaker 4

Devil must fight? How is it then? My hands already lame.

Speaker 7

To faust trust home jails, Oh God, Now as the but come only it's time for us to fly. Further arises now a maderous cry with zeppulas. It were easy to compound it. But here the pinal cord will sift and sound.

Speaker 1

It exit with faust. Martha at the window, Come out, Come out, Margaret at the window.

Speaker 16

Quick, bring a light, Martha.

Speaker 18

As above they swear and storm, they yell and fight.

Speaker 16

Who else there already see Martha coming from.

Speaker 18

The house the murderers. Whither have they run?

Speaker 1

Margaret coming out?

Speaker 16

Who lies here? Tis thy mother's son? Almighty God, what misery I'm dying?

Speaker 4

That is quickly said? And quicker yet tis done? Why how are you woman there? Instead? Come here and listen?

Speaker 1

Everyone all gather round him?

Speaker 4

Why Margaret see still young thou art, but not the least bit shrewd or smart? Thy business thus too slight. So this advice I bid thee heed, Now that thou art a horn deed, why be one?

Speaker 30

Then?

Speaker 16

All right, my brother God, such words to.

Speaker 7

Me in this game.

Speaker 4

Let our Lord God be what's done's already done, alas what follows it must come to pass with one begainst thou secretly. Then soon will others come to thee. And when a dozen thee have known, Thou art also free to all the town. When Shame is born and first appears, she is in secret brought to light and then they draw the veil of nido over her head and ears her life. In fact, there loath to spare her, but let her growth and strength display. She walks abroad unveiled

by day, yet is not grown awid. The fairer the uglier she is to sight, the more she sees, makes the day's broad light. The time I verily can discern when all the honest folk will turn from thee, thou jade and seek protection as from a course that breeds infection. That guilty heart shall then dismay THEE when they but look THEE in the face. Shalt not in a golden chain ray thee, nor at the altar take thy place. Shalt not in lace and bribon's flowing make merry when

the dance is going. But in some corner will betied thee among the beggars and cripples, hide thee. And so though even God forgive on earth a damned.

Speaker 18

Existence, live, commend your soul to God for pardon.

Speaker 7

That's you.

Speaker 18

Your heart will slender hearten.

Speaker 4

Thou pimp, most infamous, be still, could I thy withered body kill twould bring for all my sinful pleasure forgiveness in the richest.

Speaker 9

Measure, my brother.

Speaker 16

This is Hell's own pain.

Speaker 4

I tell THEE from thy tears refrain, when thou, from honor didst departed stabbed me to the very heart. Now through the slumber of the grave, I goat God as a soldier brave.

Speaker 7

Dies.

End of Scene nineteen, Scene twenty cathedral service organ and anthem, Margaret among much people, the evil spirit behind Margaret?

Speaker 21

How otherwise was it, Margaret, when thou still innocent? Here to the altar camest and from the worn and fingered book thy prayers, didst prattle half sport of childhood, half God?

Speaker 9

Within thee?

Speaker 21

Margaret, Where attends thy thought within thy bosom? What hidden crime? Prayest thou for mercy on thy mother's soul that fell asleep to long long torment? And through thee upon thy threshold? Who is the blood? And stirreth not and quicken something beneath thy heart? Thy life disquieting with most foreboding presence?

Speaker 7

Whoa, whoa?

Wrath takes thee the trumpet peals, the graves tremble, and thy heart from ashy rest of fiery torments, now again requickened throbs to life.

Would I were forth? I feel as if the organ here my breath takes from me, my very heart dissolved by the anthem.

Speaker 10

You sircos, it did.

Does not wish brooms to its teeth assistance. The stud is he good. I'll gladly see the way we take Our goal is yet some distance.

Speaker 9

So long as in my legs I feel the fresh existence. This knotted staff suffices me. What need to shorten? So the way along this labyrinth of vales to wander? Then climb the rocky ramparts yonder, where from the fountain flings eternal spray is such delight my steps would feign delay. The springtime stirs within the fragrant birches, and even the fir tree feels it. Now should then our limbs escape its gentle searches.

Speaker 7

I notice no such thing. I bow, it is wing the steeluid in my body upon my path, I wish for frost and snow. How sadly rises in complete and ruddy the moon's lone disk, with its belated glow, and lights so diemly that as one advances, at every step one strikes a rock or three. Let us then uses Jack o'lantun's glances. I see one yonder barning merryly, Oh dear, my friend, I will live vide thine attendance. Why is to so vainly direspendence be kind enough to light us up?

Here steam there rolling vapor sweepeth here, burns the glow through film and haze. Now like a tender thread. It creepeth now like a fountain, leaps and plays here winds away, and in a hundred divided veins the valley braids. There in a corner, pressed and sundered it self, detaches, spreads and fades. Here gush the sparkles

No cup that hath not, once within a healthy frame, poured speedy death in poison glowing. No gems that have not

Speaker 9

Oh? Everywhere on him you fall when others dance. He weighs the matter. If he can't every step be chatter, then tis the same as where the step made. But if you forwards go, his ire is most displayed, and you would whirl in regular gyration as he.

Speaker 7

Speaker 9

He'd show at any rate good will, especially if you heard and heeded his hortation.

Speaker 6

You still are here. Nay tis a thing unheard? Vanish at once we've said the enlightened word. The pack of devils, by no rules is daunted. We are so wise, And yet is tegel haunted to clear the folly out? Now have I swept and stirred, twill ne'er be clean? Why tis a thing unheard?

In the midst of it there sprang a red mouse from her mouth.

Speaker 2

Idealist This once, the fancy wrought in me is really too despotic forsooth. If I am all I see, I must be idiotic realist.

Speaker 12

This racking fuss. On every hand, it gives me great vexation, And for the first time here I stand on insecure foundation.

Supernaturalist with much delight. I see the play and grant to these their merits, Since from the devils I also may infer the better spirits.

Scene twenty three, dreary day, the field in misery, in despair, long wretchedly astray on the face of the earth, and now imprisoned that gracious, ill starred creature, shut in a dungeon as a criminal, and given up to fearful torments to this?

Speaker 9

Has it come to this treacherous, contemptible spirit, And thou hast concealed it me? Stand, then stand, roll the devilish eyes wrathfully in thy head. Stand and defy me with thine intolerable presence, imprisoned in irretrievable misery, deliver it up to evil spirits and to condemning unfeeling man. And thou hast lulled me meanwhile with the most insipid dissipations, hast concealed from me her increasing wretchedness, and suffered her to get hopelessly to ruin.

Speaker 7

She's not the first dog.

Speaker 9

Abominable monster. Transform him, thou infinite Spirit, Transform the reptile again into his dog shape, in which it pleased him often at night to scamper before me, to roll himself at the feet of the unsuspecting wanderer, and hang upon his shoulders when he fell. Transform him again into his favorite likeness, that he may crawl upon his belly in the dust before me, that I may trample him, the

outlawed underfoot, not the first. Oh woe, woe which no human soul can grasp, that more than one being should sink into the depths of this misery, that the first, in its writhing death agony under the eyes of the eternal forgiver, did not expiate the guilt of all others. The misery of this single one pierces to the very marrow of my life. And thou art calmly grinning at the fate of thousands.

Speaker 7

Now we are already again at the end of our weights. Huet understanding of you men runs wild. Why didst thou empting to follow shiputez If thou canst not carry doubt, would fry and art not secure against dizziness? Did me trust ourselves upon thee art? Thou thyself upon.

Speaker 9

Take me thither, she shall be free, and.

Speaker 7

The danger to which thou wilt expose thyself. Now that the guilt of blood from thy hand still lies upon the town, avenging spirits hover over the spot where the victim fell, and lie in wait for the returning burder.

Speaker 9

That too from THEE, murder and death of a world upon thee monster. Take me thither, I say, and liberate her.

Speaker 7

Speaker 1

Scene twenty five, dungeon, Faust with a bunch of keys and a lamp before an iron door.

Speaker 9

A shudder, long and felt comes o'er me. Mankind's collected woe o'erwhelms me. Here she dwells within the dark, damp walls before me, and all her crime was a delusion. Dear what I delay to free her? I dread once again to see her on my shrinking but lingers death more near.

Speaker 1

He grasps the lock. The sound of singing is heard inside, Margaret singing, my.

Speaker 25

Speaker 1

He enters, hiding herself on the pallet.

Speaker 16

Whoa, whoa, they come, Oh, death of bitterness.

Speaker 1

Whispering, hush, hush.

Speaker 9

The hour is come that frees thee.

Speaker 1

Throwing herself before him.

Speaker 16

Art thou a man, then pity my distress.

Speaker 9

Thy cry as will wake the guards, and they will seize thee.

Speaker 1

He takes hold of the fetters to unlock them on her knees.

Speaker 16

Who headsman unto thee? Such power over me could give? Thou art come for me at midnight hour, Have mercy on me. Let me is not soon enough. When morning chime has run, she rises. And yet I am so young, so young, and now death comes and ruin. I too was fair, and that was my undoing. My love was near, But now he's far tornalize the wreath scattered, the blossoms are Seize me, not thus so violently, Spare me. What have I done to thee? Let me not vainly entreat thee.

I never chanced in all my days to meet thee?

Speaker 9

Shall I outlive this misery?

Speaker 16

Now am I holy in thy might? But let me suckle first, my baby I blistered all this live long night. They tooke to a way to vex me maybe, And now they say I killed the child outright, and never shall I be glad again. They sing songs about me. Tis bad of the folk to do it. There's an old story has the same refrain. Who bade them so construe it?

Speaker 9

Falling upon his knees, here lieth one who loves thee ever the thraldom.

Speaker 1

Of thy woe to sever, flinging herself beside him.

Speaker 16

Oh, let us kneel and call the saints to hide us under the steps beside us, the threshold under hell heaves in thunder, the evil one, with terrible wrath seeketh a path his prey to discover.

Speaker 1

Aloud Margaret, Margaret, attentively listening.

Speaker 16

That was the voice of my lover.

Speaker 1

She springs to her feet. The fetters fall off.

Speaker 7

Where is he?

Speaker 16

I heard him call me? I am free? No one shall enthrall me to his neck? Will I fly on his bosom? Lie on the threshold he stood, and Margaret, calling midst of Hell's howling and noises appalling midst of the wrathful, infernal derision. I knew the sweet sound of the voice of the vision.

Speaker 9

Tis I tis thou, O say it.

Speaker 16

Once again, clasping him, Tis he tis he? Where now is all my pain, the anguish of the dungeon and the chain, tis thou. Thou comest to save me? And I am saved again? The street I see where first I looked on thee and the garden brightly blooming, where I and Martha wait thy.

Speaker 1

Coming struggling to leave.

Speaker 9

Come, come with me?

Speaker 16

Delay now, so fain I stay when thou delayest, caressing him away.

Speaker 9

Now, if longer here thou stayest, we shall be made to dearly rue it.

Speaker 7

Kiss me?

Speaker 16

Canst no longer do it? My friend? So short a time thou art missing, and hast unlearned thy kissing? Why is my heart so anxious on thy breast where once a heaven thy glances did create me a heaven thy loving words expressed, and thou didst kiss as thou wouldst suffocate me, Kiss me, or I'll kiss thee.

Speaker 1

She embraces him.

Speaker 16

Ah, whoe, thy lips are chill, and still how changed in fashion? Thy passion? Who has done me this ill?

Speaker 1

She turns away, from him.

Speaker 9

Come follow me, my darling, be more bold. I'll clasp thee soon with warmth a thousandfold. But follow now? Tis all I beg of THEE turning to him?

Speaker 16

And is it thou thou? Surely?

Speaker 9

Certainly tis I? Come on?

Speaker 16

Thou wilt unloose my chain? And in thy lap? Wilt thou take me once again? How comes it that thou dost not shrink from me? Say dost thou know my friend, whom thou mayst free?

Speaker 9

Come? Come the knight already vanisheth?

Speaker 7

My mother?

Speaker 16

Have I put to death? I've drowned the baby born to thee? Was it not given to thee?

Speaker 30

And me thee?

Speaker 9

Speaker 16

Tis thou it scarcely true? Doth seem give me thy hand? Tis not a dream, thy dear dear hand? But ah tis wet? Why wipe it off? Methinks that yet there's blood thereon?

Speaker 9

Ah?

Speaker 16

Speaker 17

Nay?

Speaker 16

Sheathe thy sword?

Speaker 1

At last?

Speaker 16

Do not affray me?

Speaker 9

Oh, let the past be past. Thy words will slay me?

Speaker 16

No, No, thou must outlive us.

Speaker 30

Now.

Speaker 16

I'll tell thee the graves to give us. Thou must begin to morrow the work of sorrow the best place give my mother. Then close at her side, my brother and me a little away, but not too very far, I pray, And here on my right breast my baby lay. Nobody else will lie beside me, ah within thine arms to hide me. That was a sweet and gracious bliss. But no more, no more can I attain it. I would force myself on thee and constrain it. And it

seems thou repellest my kiss. And yet tis thou so good, so kind to see.

Speaker 9

If thou feel'st it is, I then come with me out yonder to freedom.

Speaker 16

If the grave is there, death lying in wait, then come from here to eternal rest. No further step, No, no, thou goest away? Oh, Henry, if I could go.

Speaker 9

Thou canst just will it open? Stands the door?

Speaker 16

I dare not go. There's no hope anymore. Why should I fly? They'll still my steps way lay. It is so wretched, forced to beg my living, and a bad conscience sharper misery giving. It is so wretched to be strange forsaken, and I'd still be followed and taken.

Speaker 9

I'll stay with thee.

Speaker 16

Be quick, be quick, save thy perishing child away. Follow the ridge up by the brook, over the bridge, into the wood to the left, where the plank is placed in the pool. Seize it in haste, tis trying to rise, tis struggling still, save it, Save it.

Speaker 9

Recall thy wandering will one step, and thou art free at last.

Speaker 16

If the mountain we had only passed, there sits my mother upon I feel an icy shiver. There sits my mother upon a stone, and her head is wagging. Ever she beckons, she nods not, her heavy head falls over. She slept so long that she wakes no more. She slept while we were caressing. Ah, those were the days of blessing.

Speaker 9

Here words and prayers are nothing worth. I'll venture then to bear thee forth.

Speaker 7

No let me go.

Speaker 16

I'll suffer no force grasp me not so murderously. I've done else, all things for the love of thee.

Speaker 9

The day dawns, dearest dearest.

Speaker 16

Day, Yes, the day comes. The last day breaks for me, my wedding day. It was to be tell no one thou hast been with Margaret. Woe for my garland. The chances are over, tis all in vain. We shall meet once again, but not at the dancers. The crowd is thronging. No word is spoken. The square below and the streets overflow. The death bell tolls, The wand is broken. I am seized and bound and delivered, shoved to the block. They

give the sign now over each neck has quivered. The blade that is quivering over mine dumb lies the world like the grave.

Speaker 9

Oh had I ne'er been born?

Speaker 1

Appears outside?

Speaker 7

Ah are you all lost? Dear morn, useless, talking, delaying and praying. My horses are mahing. The morning twilight is near?

Speaker 16

What rises up from the threshold? Here he he suffer him not? What does he want in this holy spot? He seeks me? Thou shalt live judgment of God myself to THEE I give.

Speaker 16

Thine am I Father? Rescue me? Ye angels, holy cohorts guard me camp around and from evil ward me Henry. I shudder to think of thee.
