A GARDEN-ARBOR

(MARGARET comes in, conceals herself behind the door, puts her
finger to her lips, and peeps through the crack.)

MARGARET

He comes!

FAUST (entering)

                                           Ah, rogue! a tease thou art:
I have thee! (He kisses her.)

MARGARET

(clasping him, and returning the kiss)

                           Dearest man! I love thee from my heart.

(MEPHISTOPHELES knocks)

FAUST (stamping his foot)

Who's there?

MEPHISTOPHELES

           A friend!

FAUST

                            A beast!

MEPHISTOPHELES

                                            Tis time to separate.

MARTHA (coming)

Yes, Sir, 'tis late.

FAUST

                      May I not, then, upon you wait?

MARGARET

My mother would—farewell!

FAUST

                               Ah, can I not remain?

Farewell!

MARTHA

                     Adieu!

MARGARET

                                And soon to meet again!

                [Exeunt FAUST and MEPHISTOPHELES.

MARGARET

Dear God! However is it, such
A man can think and know so much?
I stand ashamed and in amaze,
And answer "Yes" to all he says,
A poor, unknowing child! and he—
I can't think what he finds in me!      [Exit.
