   torturing woe; The pangs that rack me to the bone? How my poor heart;
   without relief; Trembles and throbs; its yearning grief Thou knowest; thou
   alone! Ah; wheresoe'er I go; With woe; with woe; with woe; My anguish'd
   breast is aching! When all alone I creep; I weep; I weep; I weep; Alas! my
   heart is breaking! The flower…pots at my window Were wet with tears of
   mine; The while I pluck'd these blossoms; At dawn to deck thy shrine! When
   early in my chamber Shone bright the rising morn; I sat there on my pallet; My
   heart with anguish torn。 Help! from disgrace and death deliver me! Ah! rich in
   sorrow; thou; Stoop thy maternal brow; And mark with pitying eye my
   misery!
     Night。 Street Before Margaret's Door
   Valentine (a soldier; Margaret's brother)
   When seated 'mong the jovial crowd; Where merry comrades boasting loud
   Each named with pride his favourite lass; And in her honour drain'd his glass;
   Upon my elbows I would lean; With easy quiet view the scene; Nor give my
   tongue the rein until Each swaggering blade had talked his fill。 Then smiling I
   my beard would stroke; The while; with brimming glass; I spoke; 〃Each to his
   taste! … but to my mind; Where in the country will you find; A maid; as my
   dear Gretchen fair; Who with my sister can compare?〃 Cling! Clang! so rang
   the jovial sound! Shouts of assent went circling round; Pride of her sex is she!
   … cried some; Then were the noisy boasters dumb。
   And now! … I could tear out my hair; Or dash my brains out in despair! Me
   every scurvy knave may twit; With stinging jest and taunting sneer! Like
   skulking debtor I must sit; And sweat each casual word to hear! And though I
   smash'd them one and all; Yet them I could not liars call。
   Who comes this way? who's sneaking here? If I mistake not; two draw near。
   If he be one; have at him; … well I wot Alive he shall not leave this spot!
   Faust。 Mephistopheles
   Faust
   How from yon sacristy; athwart the night; Its beams the ever … burning taper
   throws; While ever waning; fades the glimmering light; As gathering darkness
   doth around it close! So night … like gloom doth in my bosom reign。
   Mephistopheles
   I'm like a tom … cat in a thievish vein; That up fire … ladders tall and steep; And
   round the walls doth slyly creep; Virtuous withal; I feel; with; I confess; A
   touch of thievish joy and wantonness。 Thus through my limbs already burns
   The glorious Walpurgis night! After to … morrow it returns; Then why one
   wakes; one knows aright!
   Faust
   Meanwhile; the treasure I see glimmering there; Will it ascend into the open
   air?
     Mephistopheles
   Ere long thou wilt proceed with pleasure; To raise the casket with its treasure;
   I took a peep; therein are stored; Of lion … dollars a rich hoard。
   Faust
   And not a trinket? not a ring? Wherewith my lovely girl to deck?
   Mephistopheles
   I saw among them some such thing; A string of pearls to grace her neck。
   Faust
   'Tis well! I'm always loath to go; Without some gift my love to show。
   Mephistopheles
   Some pleasures gratis to enjoy; Should surely cause you no annoy。 While
   bright with stars the heavens appear; I'll sing a masterpiece of art: A moral
   song shall charm her ear; More surely to beguile her heart。
   (Sings to the guitar。)
   Kathrina say; Why lingering stay At dawn of day Before your lover's door?
   Maiden; beware; Nor enter there; Lest forth you fare; A maiden never more。
   Maiden take heed! Reck well my rede! Is't done; the deed? Good night; you
   poor; poor thing! The spoiler's lies; His arts despise; Nor yield your prize;
   Without the marriage ring!
     Valentine (steps forward)
   Whom are you luring here? I'll give it you! Accursed rat … catchers; your
   strains I'll end! First; to the devil the guitar I'll send! Then to the devil with the
   singer too!
   Mephistopheles
   The poor guitar! 'tis done for now。
   Valentine
   Your skull shall follow next; I trow!
   Mephistopheles (to Faust)
   Doctor; stand fast! your strength collect! Be prompt; and do as I direct。 Out
   with your whisk; keep close; I pray; I'll parry! do you thrust away!
   Valentine
   Then parry that!
   Mephistopheles
   Why not?
   Valentine
     That too!
   Mephistopheles
   With ease!
   Valentine
   The devil fights for you! Why how is this? my hand's already lamed!
   Mephistopheles (to Faust)
   Thrust home!
   Valentine (falls)
   Alas!
   Mephistopheles
   There! Now the lubber's tamed! But quick; away! We must at once take
   wing; A cry of murder strikes upon the ear; With the police I know my course
   to steer; But with the blood … ban 'tis another thing。
   Martha (at the window)
   Without! without!
     Margaret (at the window)
   Quick; bring a light!
   Martha (as above)
   They rail and scuffle; scream and fight!
   People
   One lieth here already dead!
   Martha (coming out)
   Where are the murderers? are they fled?
   Margaret (coming out)
   Who lieth here?
   People
   Thy mother's son。
   Margaret
     Almighty God! I am undone!
   Valentine
   I'm dying … 'tis a soon … told tale; And sooner done the deed。 Why; women;
   do ye howl and wail? To my last words give heed! (All gather round him。) My
   Gretchen see! still young art thou; Art not discreet enough; I trow; Thou dost
   thy matters ill; Let this in confidence be said: Since thou the path of shame
   dost tread; Tread it with right good will!
   Margaret
   My brother! God! what can this mean?
   Valentine
   Abstain; Nor dare God's holy name profane! What's done; alas; is done and
   past! Matters will take their course at last; By stealth thou dost begin with
   one; Others will follow him anon; And when a dozen thee have known;
   Thou'lt common be to all the town。 When infamy is newly born; In secret she
   is brought to light; And the mysterious veil of night O'er head and ears is
   drawn; The loathsome birth men fain would slay; But soon; full grown; she
   waxes bold; And though not fairer to behold; With brazen front insults the
   day: The more abhorrent to the sight; The more she courts the day's pure
   light。
   The time already I discern; When thee all honest folk will spurn; And shun thy
   hated form to meet; As when a corpse infects the street。 Thy heart will sink in
   blank despair; When they shall look thee in the face! A golden chain no more
   thou'lt wear! Nor near the altar take in church thy place! In fair lace collar
   simply dight Thou'lt dance no more with spirits light! In darksome corners
   thou wilt bide; Where beggars vile and cripples hide; And e'en though God
   thy crime forgive; On earth; a thing accursed; thou'lt live!
   Martha
   Your parting soul to God commend! Your dying breath in slander will you
   spend?
   Valentine
   Could I but reach thy wither'd frame; Thou wretched beldame; void of
   shame! Full measure I might hope to win Of pardon then for every sin。
   Margaret
     Brother! what agonizing pain!
   Valentine
   I tell thee; from vain tears abstain! 'Twas thy dishonour pierced my heart; Thy
   fall the fatal death … stab gave。 Through the death … sleep I now depart To
   God; a soldier true and brave。 (dies。)
     In The Cathedral
   Service; Organ; and Anthem
   Margaret amongst a number of people
   Evil … Spirit behind Margaret
   Evil … Spirit
   How different; Gretchen; was it once with thee; When thou; still full of
   innocence; Here to the altar camest; And from the small and well … conn'd
   book Didst lisp thy prayer; Half childish sport; Half God in thy young heart!
   Gretchen! What thoughts are thine? What deed of shame Lurks in thy sinful
   heart? Is thy prayer utter'd for thy mother's soul; Who into long; long torment
   slept through thee? Whose blood is on thy threshold? … And stirs there not
   already 'neath thy heart Another quick'ning pulse; that even now Tortures
   itself and thee With its foreboding presence?
   Margaret
   Woe! Woe! Oh could I free me from the thoughts That hither; thither; crowd
   upon my brain; Against my will!
   Chorus
   Dies irae; dies illa; Solvet saeclum in favilla。
   (The organ sounds。)
   Evil … Spirit
     Grim horror seizes thee! The trumpet sounds! The graves are shaken! And
   thy heart From ashy rest For torturing flames A new created; Trembles into
   life!
   Margaret
   Would I were hence! It is as if the organ Choked my breath; As if the choir
   Melted my inmost heart!
   Chorus
   Judex ergo cum sedebit; Quidquid latet adparebit; Nil inultum remanebit。
   Margaret
   I feel oppressed! The pillars of the wall Imprison me! The vaulted roof
   Weighs down upon me! … air!
   Evil … Spirit
   Wouldst hide thee? sin and shame Remain not hidden! Air! light! Woe's thee!
   Chorus
   Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus! Cum vix justus sit
   securus。
   Evil … Spirit
   The glorified their faces turn Away from thee! Shudder the pure to reach
   Their hands to thee! Woe!
     Chorus
   Quid sum miser tunc dicturus 
   Margaret
   Neighbour! your smelling bottle!
   (She swoons away。)
     Walpurgis … Night
   Act four; scene one; 〃Walpurgis Night〃 theme from the opera 〃Faust〃 1859;
   by Charles Gounod。 Over the heather; marshes; meadows; Light as a feather;
   Eerie shadows; Airily flashing lower; higher; flaming and flashing; glowing fire;
   they float; they hover; below; above; In fields of clover; In wood and grove;
   Flames burning brightly; Rays blazing red; Souls drifting lightly; Souls of the
   dead。
   The Hartz Mountains。 District of Schierke and Elend
   Faust and Mephistopheles
   Mephistopheles
   A broomstick dost thou not at least desire? The roughest he … goat fain would
   I bestride; By this road from our goal we're still far wide。
   Faust
   While fresh upon my legs; so long I naught require; Except this knotty staff。
   Beside; What boots it to abridge a pleasant way? Along the labyrinth of these
   vales to creep; Then scale these rocks; whence; in eternal spray; Adown the
   cliffs the silvery fountains leap: Such is the joy that seasons paths like these!
