Do I find you burning?\n\nWell, Margaret soon will still your yearning:\nAt Neighbor Martha's you 'll this evening meet.\nA fitter woman ne'er was made\n\nTo ply the pimp and gypsy trade!\n\nFaust.\n*T is well.\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\n\nYet something is required from us.\n\nFaust.\n\nOne service pays the other thus.\n\n190 faust.\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\n\nWe 've but to make a deposition valid ©\nThat now her husband's limbs, outstretched and pallid,\n\nAt Padua rest, in consecrated soil.\n\nFaust.\n\nMost wise! And first, of course, we ll make the journey\nthither ?\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\n\nSancta simplicitas! no need of such a toil;\n\nDepose, with knowledge or without it, either!\n\nFaust.\n\nIf you 've naught better, then, I tear your pretty plan!\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\n\nNow, there you are! O holy man!\n\nIs it the first time in your life you 're driven\n\nTo bear false witness in a case?\n\nOf God, the world and all that in it has a place,\nOf Man, and all that moves the being of his race,\nHave you not terms and definitions given\n\nWith brazen forehead, daring breast?\n\nScene XT. IgI\n\nAnd, if you 'll probe the thing profoundly,\nKnew you so much — and you 'll confess it roundly ! —\n\nAs here of Schwerdtlein's death and place of rest?\n\nFaust.\n\nThou art, and thou remain'st, a sophist, liar.\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\nYes, knew I not more deeply thy desire.\nFor wilt thou not, no lover fairer, —\nPoor Margaret flatter, and ensnare her,\n\nAnd all thy soul's devotion swear her?\n\nFaust.\nAnd from my heart.\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\n\n\"T is very fine!\nThine endless love, thy faith assuring,\nThe one almighty force enduring, —\n\nWill that, too, prompt this heart of thine?\n\nFaust.\n\nHold! hold! It will! —If such my flame,\n\nAnd for the sense and power intense\n\n192 faust.\n\nI seek, and cannot find, a name;\nThen range with all my senses through creation,\nCraving the speech of inspiration,\n\nAnd call this ardor, so supernal,\n\nEndless, eternal and eternal, —\n\nIs that a devilish lying game?\n\nMEPHISTOPHELES.\n\nAnd yet I'm right!\n\nFaust.\n\nMark this, I beg of thee!\nAnd spare my lungs henceforth : whoever\nIntends to have the right, if but his tongue be clever,\nWill have it, certainly.\nBut come: the further talking brings disgust,\n\nFor thou art right, especially since I must.'%\n\nScene ALL, | 193.\n\nXII.\nGARDEN.",
