Speaker 2: Fair lady, Let it not offend you that arm and
0:31
Speaker 2: escort I would lend you.
0:33
Speaker 3: I'm neither lady, neither fair and home. I can go
0:36
Speaker 3: without your care.
0:38
Speaker 1: She releases herself and exit.
0:42
Speaker 2: By heaven. The girl is wondrous. Fair of all I've
0:45
Speaker 2: seen beyond compare so sweetly, virtuous and pure, and yet
0:51
Speaker 2: a little pert be sure, the lips so red, the
0:55
Speaker 2: cheeks cleared on I'll not forget while the world rolls on.
1:00
Speaker 2: How she cast down her timid eyes deep in my
1:03
Speaker 2: heart in printed lies. How short and sharp of speech
1:07
Speaker 2: was she. Why twas a real ecstasy.
1:12
Speaker 1: Mephistopheles enters here of that.
1:16
Speaker 2: Girl, I'd have possession which them the one who just
1:22
Speaker 2: went by?
1:23
Speaker 4: She dare She is coming from confession of every scene absolved,
1:28
Speaker 4: For I behind her chair was listening nigh so in
1:32
Speaker 4: nolsense to see, indeed that to confesce she had no need.
1:37
Speaker 4: I have no power over souls so green, and.
1:42
Speaker 2: Yet she is older than fourteen.
1:45
Speaker 4: How now you are talking like Jack Ragg, who every
1:49
Speaker 4: flower for himself would take, and fancies there are no
1:54
Speaker 4: favors more nor honors save for him in store. Yet
1:58
Speaker 4: always doesn't the thing seed.
2:00
Speaker 2: Most worthy pedagogue, take heed. Let not a word of
2:04
Speaker 2: moral law be spoken. I claim, I tell thee all
2:09
Speaker 2: my right, and if that image of delight rests not
2:12
Speaker 2: within mine arms to night at midnight, our compact is broken.
2:18
Speaker 4: But think the chances of the case. I need at
2:21
Speaker 4: least a fortnight space to find that opportune ocygen had.
2:26
Speaker 2: I but seven hours for all I should not on
2:29
Speaker 2: the devil call, but win her by my own possession.
2:33
Speaker 4: You almost like a Frenchman prepped. Yet pray, don't take
2:37
Speaker 4: it as annoance. Why all at once adjust the giants.
2:43
Speaker 4: Your bliss is by no means so great as if
2:46
Speaker 4: you'd use to get control all sorts of tendering barrel
2:51
Speaker 4: and need and shape heart to your tart. As in
2:55
Speaker 4: Italian tales, it is start.
2:58
Speaker 2: Without that I have appetite.
3:01
Speaker 4: But now we leave just thing out of sight. I
3:05
Speaker 4: tell you once for all that speed with this fair
3:08
Speaker 4: girl will not succeed by storms. He cannot captured be
3:14
Speaker 4: we must make use of strategy.
3:18
Speaker 2: Get me something the angel keeps. Leave me thither where
3:21
Speaker 2: she sleeps. Get me a kerchief from her breast, a
3:25
Speaker 2: garter that her knee has pressed.
3:28
Speaker 4: That you may see how much out faith father, and
3:31
Speaker 4: satisfy your pain, we will no longer lose a minute.
3:36
Speaker 4: I'll find her room to day and take you in it.
3:41
Speaker 2: And shall I see possess her.
3:44
Speaker 4: No until neighbors. She must go. And meanwhile thou alone
3:49
Speaker 4: mayst glow with every hope of future pleasure, breeding her
3:54
Speaker 4: atmosphere in fullest miser.
3:59
Speaker 2: Can we go thither?
4:01
Speaker 4: It is too oddly yet.
4:04
Speaker 2: A gift for her? I bid thee get.
4:07
Speaker 4: Exit presents at once. That's good. He's certain to get
4:13
Speaker 4: at her full many a platant place I know, and
4:17
Speaker 4: treachers buried long ago. I must perforce look up the matter.
4:25
Speaker 1: Exit scene eight evening, a small, neatly kept chamber, Margaret
4:35
Speaker 1: platting and binding up the braids of her hair.
4:38
Speaker 3: I'd give something, could I but say? Who was that gentleman?
4:41
Speaker 3: To day surely a gallant man was he, and of
4:45
Speaker 3: a noble family, And much could I in his face behold?
4:50
Speaker 3: And he wouldn't else have been so bold.
4:54
Speaker 4: Exit come in, but gently follow me.
5:00
Speaker 2: Leave me alone.
5:01
Speaker 1: I beg of thee prying.
5:04
Speaker 4: About, not every girl gifting so neat.
5:10
Speaker 2: Looking around, Oh, welcome twilight, soft and sweet that breathes
5:15
Speaker 2: throughout this hallowed shrine, sweet pain of love. Bind thou
5:20
Speaker 2: with Fetter's fleet, the heart that on the dew of
5:23
Speaker 2: hope must pine. How all around a sense impresses of quiet,
5:28
Speaker 2: order and content. This poverty, what bounty blesses, what bliss
5:34
Speaker 2: within this narrow den is pent?
5:37
Speaker 1: He throws himself into a leathern arm chair near the bed.
5:41
Speaker 2: Receive me, thou, that in thine open arms departed joy
5:45
Speaker 2: and pain wert wont to gather. How oft the children,
5:49
Speaker 2: with their ruddy charms, hung here around this throne where
5:53
Speaker 2: sat the father. Perchance my love amid the childish band,
5:58
Speaker 2: grateful for gifts the Holy Christmas gave her here meekly
6:03
Speaker 2: kissed the grandsire's withered hand. I feel, o, maid, thy
6:08
Speaker 2: very soul of order and content around me, whisper which
6:13
Speaker 2: leads thee with its motherly control. The cloth upon thy
6:17
Speaker 2: board bid smoothly THEE unroll the sand beneath thy feet
6:21
Speaker 2: makes whiter crisper, O dearest hand to THEE tis given
6:27
Speaker 2: to change this hut into a lower heaven.
6:31
Speaker 1: And here he lifts one of the bed curtains.
6:35
Speaker 2: What sweetest thrill is in my blood? Here could I
6:38
Speaker 2: spend whole hours delaying? Here, nature shaped as if in
6:43
Speaker 2: sportive playing, the angel blossom from the bud. Here lay
6:47
Speaker 2: the child with life's warm essence, the tender bosom, filled
6:52
Speaker 2: and fair. And here was wrought through holier purer presence,
6:57
Speaker 2: the form diviner beings wear? And I what drew me here?
7:03
Speaker 2: With power? How deeply am I moved this hour? What
7:07
Speaker 2: seek I? Why? So full my heart and sore? Miserable? Faust?
7:13
Speaker 2: I know THEE? Now no more? Is there a magic vapor?
7:18
Speaker 4: Here?
7:19
Speaker 2: I came with lust of instant pleasure, and lie dissolved
7:24
Speaker 2: in dreams of love's sweet leisure? Are we the sport
7:28
Speaker 2: of every changeful atmosphere? And if this moment came, she
7:33
Speaker 2: in to me, how would I for the fault atonement render?
7:37
Speaker 2: How small the giant lout would be prone at her
7:40
Speaker 2: feet relaxed and tender.
7:44
Speaker 4: Be quack. I see how dear returning.
7:47
Speaker 2: Go go, I never will retreat.
7:52
Speaker 4: Here is a cascade, not a meat which elsewhere I
7:56
Speaker 4: have just been any here, said it in the press
8:00
Speaker 4: with haste. I swear it will turn her head to
8:04
Speaker 4: spite some bubbles I dearin had placed that you might
8:09
Speaker 4: win another by it, true childish child, and play is.
8:13
Speaker 2: Play, I know not should I do it?
8:19
Speaker 4: Ask you pray yourself perhaps would keep the bubble? Then
8:23
Speaker 4: I suggest it are fair and jest to spare the
8:26
Speaker 4: lovely day your last, and spare to me the further trouble.
8:30
Speaker 4: You are not miserly, I trust, I rub my hands
8:33
Speaker 4: with expectation, tender.
8:35
Speaker 1: He places the casket in the press and locks it again.
8:38
Speaker 4: Now quick away the sweet young maiden to betray, so
8:43
Speaker 4: that by wish and will you band her, and to
8:47
Speaker 4: look as dill to the lecture hall you were forced
8:49
Speaker 4: to go as if stood before you, gray and load
8:53
Speaker 4: physics and not a physics boat.
8:56
Speaker 1: But away, exillent Margaret with a lamp.
9:02
Speaker 3: It is so close, so sultry here.
9:05
Speaker 1: She opens the window, and yet.
9:07
Speaker 3: Tis not so warm outside. I feel I know not
9:11
Speaker 3: why such fear wood. Mother came, Where can she bide?
9:16
Speaker 3: My body's chill and shuddering, I'm but a silly, fearsome thing.
9:21
Speaker 1: She begins to sing while I'm dressing.
9:24
Speaker 5: There was a king in Thulie was faithful till her grave,
9:31
Speaker 5: to whom his mistress, dying a golden golble it gave
9:40
Speaker 5: nort was to him more preasuous. He drained it at
9:45
Speaker 5: every bout. His eyes with tears ran over as oft
9:53
Speaker 5: as he drank thereout. When came his time of dying,
10:00
Speaker 5: the towns in his land, he told nort As to
10:05
Speaker 5: his head.
10:06
Speaker 6: Denying except the goblet of gold. He sat at the
10:14
Speaker 6: royal banquet with his knights of high degree, in the
10:21
Speaker 6: lofty hole of his father's in the castle by the sea,
10:30
Speaker 6: there stood the old career Sir, and drank the last
10:35
Speaker 6: life glow, and hurled the hallowed goblet into the tide below.
10:46
Speaker 6: He saw it plunging and filling and sing king deep
10:51
Speaker 6: in the sea. Then fell his eyelids forever.
10:57
Speaker 5: And never more.
11:02
Speaker 1: She opens the press in order to arrange her clothes,
11:04
Speaker 1: and perceives the casket of jewels.
11:07
Speaker 3: How comes that lovely casket here to me? I locked
11:10
Speaker 3: the press most certainly tis truly wonderful? What can within
11:15
Speaker 3: it be? Perhaps twas brought by someone as a pawn,
11:19
Speaker 3: and mother gave a loan thereon, And here there hangs
11:23
Speaker 3: a key to fit. I have a mind to open it?
11:27
Speaker 3: What is that God in heaven? Whence came such things
11:33
Speaker 3: never beheld? I ought so fair rich ornaments, such as
11:36
Speaker 3: a noble dame on highest holidays might wear. How would
11:41
Speaker 3: the pearl chain suit my hair?
11:43
Speaker 7: Ah?
11:44
Speaker 3: Who may all this splendor own?
11:47
Speaker 1: She adorns herself with the jewelry, And steps before the mirror.
11:51
Speaker 3: Were but the earring's mine alone? One has at once
11:55
Speaker 3: another air? What helps one's beauty? Youthful blood? One may
12:01
Speaker 3: possess them well and good, But none the more do
12:04
Speaker 3: others care? They praise us half in pity. Sure to
12:09
Speaker 3: gold still tends on, Gold depends all all alas.
12:15
Speaker 1: We poor see nine promenade Faust walking thoughtfully up and
12:23
Speaker 1: down to him Mephistopheles.
12:27
Speaker 4: By our love, ever rejected by Hell, higher, hot and
12:31
Speaker 4: out sparing. I wish I knew something was that I
12:34
Speaker 4: might use it for swearing?
12:36
Speaker 2: What ails thee what as it grips thee elf? A
12:40
Speaker 2: face like thine beheld I never.
12:43
Speaker 4: Are you hud myself under the devil deliver If I
12:46
Speaker 4: am not a devil myself.
12:48
Speaker 2: Thy head is out of order. Sadly, it much becomes
12:51
Speaker 2: thee to be raving madly.
12:55
Speaker 4: Just think the pocket of a brist should get the
12:57
Speaker 4: trinklets left for Margaret. The mother saw them an instant.
13:02
Speaker 4: A secret tread began to haunt her. Keen sand has
13:07
Speaker 4: sea for tainted air. She snuffs within her book of
13:11
Speaker 4: prayer and smells each article to see if secret or
13:14
Speaker 4: profane it be. So here as he guessed from every
13:19
Speaker 4: gem that not much blessing came with them. My childis
13:23
Speaker 4: is said, he'll gotten good and sneers the soul consumes
13:26
Speaker 4: the bird before the murder of God. We will lay
13:30
Speaker 4: it with heavenly manners. Heivill repay. But Margaret taught with
13:35
Speaker 4: sark a mace a gift ours is not out of place,
13:39
Speaker 4: And truly godless cannot be the one who brought such
13:42
Speaker 4: things to me. A person came by the mother bidden.
13:48
Speaker 4: He saw at once where the game was hidden, and
13:51
Speaker 4: viewed it with a favor. Still they he spake, that
13:56
Speaker 4: is the proper view. Who overcometh w it? Do the
14:00
Speaker 4: holy chair says, stomach healthy, had eaten many a land
14:04
Speaker 4: as forefeet, and never eat it complained of surfeet. The
14:08
Speaker 4: chairs alone beyond all question. As for eing gotten goods,
14:12
Speaker 4: the rightdization.
14:14
Speaker 2: A general practice is the same which jew and king
14:18
Speaker 2: may also claim.
14:21
Speaker 4: Then begged the spangles, chains and rings as if but
14:24
Speaker 4: tootstools were the things, and thanked no less than thanked,
14:28
Speaker 4: no more than if a sec of nuts he bore,
14:32
Speaker 4: promised them fullest heavenly pay, and deeply defied were day.
14:37
Speaker 4: And Margaret sits unrestful steel, and knows not what she
14:42
Speaker 4: should or will thinks on the jewels day and night,
14:46
Speaker 4: but more on him who gave her such delight.
14:50
Speaker 2: The darling sorrow gives me pain. Get thou a set
14:54
Speaker 2: for her again. The first was not a great display.
14:58
Speaker 4: Oh yes, the gentlemen find said all child's.
15:00
Speaker 2: Play, fix and arrange it to my will. And on
15:05
Speaker 2: her neighbor, try thy skill. Don't be a devil stiff
15:09
Speaker 2: as paste, but get fresh jewels to her taste.
15:13
Speaker 4: Yes, gracious sir.
15:14
Speaker 1: In all obedience, exit first.
15:19
Speaker 4: Such an animal fool in air would blow Sun, moon
15:22
Speaker 4: and all the star aledians to give his sweetheart a
15:26
Speaker 4: Diabatic Show.
15:29
Speaker 1: Exit scene ten, the neighbor's house.
15:34
Speaker 7: Martha solus, God, forgive my husband, Yet he hasn't done
15:40
Speaker 7: his duty by me oft in the world. He went straightway.
15:45
Speaker 7: Let me lie in the straw where I lay, And
15:49
Speaker 7: truly I did not fret him. God knows I loved
15:53
Speaker 7: and can't forget him. Oh, she weeps, Perhaps he's even dead. Ah,
16:00
Speaker 7: whoa had? Are you certificate to show? Margaret comes day, Martha, Margaret,
16:07
Speaker 7: what's happened to thee?
16:08
Speaker 3: I scarce can stand. My knees are trembling. I find
16:11
Speaker 3: a box, the first resembling within my press of ebone,
16:15
Speaker 3: and things all splendid to behold, and richer father than
16:18
Speaker 3: worthy old.
16:19
Speaker 7: You mustn't tell it to your mother, twould go to
16:23
Speaker 7: the priest as did the other A look.
16:26
Speaker 3: And see, just look and see Martha adorning her Oh what.
16:30
Speaker 7: A blessed luck for thee.
16:33
Speaker 3: But Ah, in the streets I dare not bear them,
16:35
Speaker 3: nor in the church be seen to wear them.
16:38
Speaker 7: Yet thou canst often this way, wonder and secretly the
16:42
Speaker 7: jewels dawn walk up and down an hour before the
16:46
Speaker 7: mirror yonder. We'll have our private joy therein And then
16:50
Speaker 7: a chance will come a holiday when piece by piece
16:55
Speaker 7: can want the things abroad. Display a chain at first,
16:59
Speaker 7: then other ornament. Thy mother will not see, and stories
17:04
Speaker 7: will invent.
17:05
Speaker 3: Whoever could have brought me things so precious? That something's wrong?
17:09
Speaker 3: I feel suspicious? A knock good Heaven, my mother?
17:13
Speaker 1: Can that have been Martha? Peeping through the blind chiers?
17:17
Speaker 7: Some strange gentleman come in.
17:19
Speaker 1: Mephistopheles enters Dad.
17:21
Speaker 4: I so boldly introduce me. I beg you ladies to
17:26
Speaker 4: excuse me.
17:27
Speaker 1: Steps back reverently on seeing Margaret.
17:29
Speaker 4: For Martha Sweedlein out in Cauer.
17:32
Speaker 7: I'm she. What does the gentleman.
17:34
Speaker 1: Desire Mephistopheles assigned to her?
17:37
Speaker 4: It is enough that you are she. You have a
17:40
Speaker 4: visitor of a high degree. Pardon the freedom I have taken. Well, afternoon,
17:46
Speaker 4: return again, Martha aloud of all things.
17:50
Speaker 7: In the world, just here, he takes thee for a lady, dear.
17:55
Speaker 3: I am a creature, young and poor. The gentleman's too kind.
17:58
Speaker 3: I'm sure the jewels don't belong.
18:00
Speaker 4: To me, ah, not alone the jewelry to look the
18:04
Speaker 4: man are both to betray, rejoice themre that I may stay.
18:09
Speaker 7: What is your business? I would feign, I.
18:12
Speaker 4: Would I had a more cheerful strain. Take not unkindly.
18:16
Speaker 4: It's repeating your husband is dead, and the sense it
18:20
Speaker 4: greeding is dead.
18:23
Speaker 7: Alas that heart's so true, my husband dead. Let me
18:31
Speaker 7: die too.
18:32
Speaker 3: Ah, dearest dame, Let not your courage fail.
18:35
Speaker 4: Hear me relate the mournful tale.
18:38
Speaker 3: Therefore I'd never love. Believe me, a loss like this
18:41
Speaker 3: to death would grieve me.
18:43
Speaker 4: Joy follows woo, whoo of the joy comes flying.
18:46
Speaker 7: Relate his life, said close.
18:48
Speaker 4: To me, in pad you're buried. He is lying beside
18:52
Speaker 4: the good Saint Anthony with in a grave whale consecrated
18:57
Speaker 4: for cool at an unrest created.
19:00
Speaker 7: Have you further no commission?
19:02
Speaker 4: Yes, want of weight with many shiyes three hundred masses
19:07
Speaker 4: by to save the imprompt partition. My hands are empty.
19:12
Speaker 7: Otherwise what not a pocket piece, no jewelry, But every
19:19
Speaker 7: journeyman within his wallet spares, and as a token with
19:23
Speaker 7: him bears, and rather starves or begs than loses.
19:28
Speaker 4: Madam, it is a grief to me. Yet on my word,
19:31
Speaker 4: his cash was put to proper uses. Besides, his penitence
19:37
Speaker 4: was very sore and lamented his ill fortune all the
19:41
Speaker 4: more a lack.
19:42
Speaker 3: That men is so unfortunate. Surely for his soul's sakeful
19:45
Speaker 3: many a prayer, I'll proffer.
19:47
Speaker 4: He will deserve a speedy marriage offer. You are so
19:51
Speaker 4: kind compasonate.
19:52
Speaker 3: Oh no, as yet it would not do if.
19:55
Speaker 4: Not a husband, then a bio for you. It is
19:59
Speaker 4: the greatest heaven blessing to have a dear thing for
20:03
Speaker 4: one's caressing.
20:04
Speaker 3: The country's custom is not so.
20:06
Speaker 4: Custom, or not it happens.
20:08
Speaker 7: Though, continue pray.
20:11
Speaker 4: I stood beside his bed of dying. It was something
20:15
Speaker 4: better than many or half rotten straw. And yet he
20:18
Speaker 4: died a Christian seol, and found that heavier scores to
20:23
Speaker 4: his account were lying. He cried, I find my conduct
20:28
Speaker 4: wholly hateful. To leave my wife, my tread in manner,
20:32
Speaker 4: so ungrateful. Oh, the remembrance makes me die of my
20:38
Speaker 4: wrong to her.
20:39
Speaker 1: I might be shriven Mather weeping.
20:42
Speaker 7: The dear good man. Long since was he forgiven?
20:47
Speaker 4: Yet see, God knows was more to blame than I.
20:51
Speaker 7: He lied. What on the brink of death he slandered in.
20:58
Speaker 4: The last shows he said, answers wented if by such things,
21:02
Speaker 4: but huff can judge? He said, I had no time
21:06
Speaker 4: for play, for keeping freedom first children, and then walk
21:11
Speaker 4: for bread to feed them, for bread in the widest
21:15
Speaker 4: sense to judge, and could not even eat my share
21:19
Speaker 4: in peace and quiet?
21:21
Speaker 7: Had ye all love, all faith forgotten in his riot
21:26
Speaker 7: my work, and worried day and night.
21:29
Speaker 4: Not so the memory of it touched him quiet, said he.
21:34
Speaker 4: When I from Malta went away, My prayers for wife
21:38
Speaker 4: and little ones were jealous, and such luck from heaven
21:42
Speaker 4: befell us. We made a Turkish merchantman our prey that
21:48
Speaker 4: to the Sultan bore a mighty treasure. Then I received,
21:52
Speaker 4: as was most fit, since bravery was paid in fullest measure,
21:58
Speaker 4: my well apportioned share of it.
22:00
Speaker 7: Say, how, say where, if buried did he own it?
22:05
Speaker 4: Who knows now? Whether the four winds have blown it?
22:10
Speaker 4: A fair young damsel took him in her care as
22:14
Speaker 4: he in naples wandered, drowned, unfriended. And see much love,
22:18
Speaker 4: much fate to him did bear, so that he felt
22:22
Speaker 4: it till his days were ended.
22:25
Speaker 7: The villain from his children, thieving even all the misery
22:31
Speaker 7: on him cast could not prevent a shameful way of living.
22:35
Speaker 4: But see he is dead. Therefrom at last where I
22:39
Speaker 4: in your place. Do not doubt me. I'd borne him
22:43
Speaker 4: disently a year and for another. Keep meanwhile my eyes
22:48
Speaker 4: about me.
22:50
Speaker 7: Oh God, another one so dear as was my first,
22:55
Speaker 7: This world will hardly give me. There never was a
22:58
Speaker 7: sweeter fool than mine. Only he loved to roam and
23:02
Speaker 7: leave me and foreign wenches and foreign wine, and the
23:06
Speaker 7: damned throw of dice.
23:08
Speaker 4: Indeed, well well that might have done. However, if he
23:12
Speaker 4: had only been as clever. I'm treated your slips with
23:17
Speaker 4: as little heed. I swear with this condition too, eyed
23:22
Speaker 4: myself Jane's rings with ear.
23:26
Speaker 7: The gentleman is pleased to jest.
23:29
Speaker 4: I will cut away bedtimes from here. She would take
23:32
Speaker 4: the devil at his word. I fear to Margaret, how
23:36
Speaker 4: fears the heart within your breast?
23:39
Speaker 3: What means the gentleman?
23:40
Speaker 1: Aside?
23:41
Speaker 4: Sweet noo sent to our art aloud, ladies, farewell, farewell a.
23:49
Speaker 7: Moment every part. I'd like to have a legal witness where,
23:54
Speaker 7: how and when he died, to certify his fitness irregular
23:58
Speaker 7: ways I've always hated. I want his death in the
24:01
Speaker 7: weekly paper stated.
24:03
Speaker 4: Yes, my good day. A pair of witnesses always the truth, establacious.
24:10
Speaker 4: I have a friend of high condition, who will also
24:13
Speaker 4: add his deposition. I will bring him here, good sir,
24:19
Speaker 4: pray do, and this young lady will be present too.
24:24
Speaker 4: A gallant yield has traveled far. Ladies with him delighted
24:29
Speaker 4: are before him.
24:31
Speaker 3: I should blush.
24:31
Speaker 4: Ashamed before no king that could be named.
24:35
Speaker 7: Behind the house in my garden. Then this evil will
24:40
Speaker 7: expect the gentlemen.
24:44
Speaker 1: Scene eleven a street faust?
24:49
Speaker 2: How is it underway? And soon complete?
24:54
Speaker 8: Mephistopheles, Ah, bravo, do I find you Barney well Margaret,
25:01
Speaker 8: soon will steal your yearning at neighbor Martyrs, you will.
25:05
Speaker 4: Dis evening meet a fitter woman. Neighbor was made to
25:10
Speaker 4: ply the pimp and gypsy trade tis well, Yet something
25:15
Speaker 4: is required from us.
25:17
Speaker 2: One service pays the other.
25:19
Speaker 4: Thus we have but to make a deposition valid that
25:23
Speaker 4: now her husband's limbs outstretched and pallid at padua rest
25:29
Speaker 4: in consecrated soil.
25:31
Speaker 2: Most wise, and first, of course we'll make the journey thither.
25:36
Speaker 4: Sanct the simplicitus. No need of such a toil. Depose
25:40
Speaker 4: with knowledge or without it either.
25:44
Speaker 2: If you've not better, then I'll tear your pretty plan.
25:48
Speaker 4: Now there you are, oh holy man is it the
25:52
Speaker 4: first time in your life you are driven to bear
25:55
Speaker 4: false witness in a case of God. The world and
25:58
Speaker 4: all that in it has a place of man and
26:02
Speaker 4: all that moves the being of his race. Have you
26:06
Speaker 4: not terms and definitions given with present forehead, daring breast,
26:11
Speaker 4: And if you will probe the thing profoundly, knew you
26:14
Speaker 4: so much, and you will confess it roundly as here
26:18
Speaker 4: of Swartling's death and place of rest.
26:22
Speaker 2: Thou art and thou remain'st a softest liar.
26:26
Speaker 4: Yes, knew I not more deeply thy desire fall will
26:31
Speaker 4: do not know love or fairer poor Margaret flatter and
26:35
Speaker 4: ensnare her and all thy shoal's devotions swear her, and
26:41
Speaker 4: from my heart it sea is very fine, dye endless
26:45
Speaker 4: love thy fate, assuring till one almighty force and dearing
26:50
Speaker 4: will the too prompt disheart of.
26:53
Speaker 2: Dying hold hold it will. If such my flame, and
27:01
Speaker 2: for the sense and power intense I seek and cannot
27:05
Speaker 2: find a name, then range with all my senses through creation,
27:10
Speaker 2: craving the speech of inspiration, and call this ardor so supernal, endless,
27:17
Speaker 2: eternal and eternal. Is that a devilish lying game a diet.
27:23
Speaker 4: I'm write mark.
27:25
Speaker 2: This, I beg of thee, and spare my lungs. Henceforth,
27:31
Speaker 2: whoever intends to have the right, if but his tongue
27:35
Speaker 2: be clever, will have it certainly. But come the further
27:40
Speaker 2: talking brings disgust for thou art right, especially since I must.
27:50
Speaker 1: Seam twelve garden, Margaret on Faust's arm, Martyr and Mephistophiles
27:58
Speaker 1: walking up and down.
28:00
Speaker 3: I feel the gentleman allows for me, demeans himself and
28:03
Speaker 3: shames me by it. A traveler is so used to
28:06
Speaker 3: be kindly content with any diet. I know too well
28:10
Speaker 3: that my poor gossip can never entertain such an experienced man.
28:15
Speaker 2: A look from thee a word more entertains than all
28:19
Speaker 2: the lore of wisest brains.
28:21
Speaker 1: He kisses her hand.
28:23
Speaker 3: Don't incommode yourself? How could you ever kiss it? It
28:27
Speaker 3: is so ugly rough to see what work I do?
28:30
Speaker 3: How hard and steady is it? Mother is much too
28:32
Speaker 3: close with me?
28:34
Speaker 7: They pass, and you, sir, travel always, do you not.
28:41
Speaker 4: Alas that trade and duty are so harry, which what
28:46
Speaker 4: a pang One leaves so many as part, and DearS
28:50
Speaker 4: not even now and then to tarry.
28:53
Speaker 7: In young wild years. It suits your ways this round
28:57
Speaker 7: and round the world, in freedom sweeping. But then come
29:01
Speaker 7: on the evil days, and so as bachelor into his grave,
29:05
Speaker 7: a creeping none ever found a thing to praise.
29:10
Speaker 4: I dread to see how such a fate advances.
29:14
Speaker 7: Then, worthy, sir, improve betimes your chances.
29:20
Speaker 1: They pass.
29:22
Speaker 3: Yes, out of sight is out of mind, your courtesy
29:26
Speaker 3: and easy graces. But you have friends in other places,
29:30
Speaker 3: and sensibler than I.
29:31
Speaker 2: You'll find, trust me, dear heart. What men call sensible
29:37
Speaker 2: is oft mere, vanity and narrowness. How so ah, that
29:43
Speaker 2: simplicity and innocence. Ne'er know themselves their holy value and
29:48
Speaker 2: their spell that meekness, lowliness, the highest graces which nature
29:54
Speaker 2: portions out so lovingly.
29:56
Speaker 3: So you but think a moment's face on me all
30:00
Speaker 3: I'll have to think of you all places.
30:03
Speaker 2: No doubt you are much alone.
30:06
Speaker 3: Yes, for our household small has grown, yet must be
30:09
Speaker 3: cared for. You will own. We have no maid. I
30:12
Speaker 3: do the knitting, sewing, sweeping, the cooking, early work and
30:16
Speaker 3: late in fact, and mother, in her notions of housekeeping,
30:20
Speaker 3: is so exact. Not that she needs so much to
30:23
Speaker 3: keep expenses down. We more than others might take comfort. Rather,
30:28
Speaker 3: A nice estate was left us by my father, a house,
30:31
Speaker 3: a little garden near the town. But now my days
30:34
Speaker 3: have less of noise and hurry. My brother is a soldier,
30:37
Speaker 3: my little sister's dead. True with the child, the troubled
30:41
Speaker 3: life I led, yet I would take again, and willing
30:44
Speaker 3: all the worry. So very dear was she an angel
30:48
Speaker 3: if like thee I bought it up, and it was
30:51
Speaker 3: fond of me. Father had died before it saw the light.
30:55
Speaker 3: A mother's case seemed hopeless quite so weak and miserable
30:59
Speaker 3: she lay, and she recovered, then so slowly day by day.
31:03
Speaker 3: She could not think herself of giving the poor wee
31:06
Speaker 3: thing its natural living. And so I nursed it all alone,
31:10
Speaker 3: with milk and water, twas my own lulled in my
31:13
Speaker 3: lap with many a song. It smiled and humbled and
31:17
Speaker 3: grew strong.
31:18
Speaker 2: The purest bliss was surely then thy dower.
31:22
Speaker 3: But surely also many a weary hour I kept the
31:26
Speaker 3: baby's cradle near my bed at night, ift, even stirred.
31:29
Speaker 3: I'd guess it and waking here, and I must nurse
31:33
Speaker 3: it warm beside me, press it and oft to quiet
31:36
Speaker 3: it my bed forsake and dandling back and forth the
31:39
Speaker 3: restless creature take, then at the washtubs, stand at morning's break,
31:43
Speaker 3: and then the marketing and kitchen tending day after day,
31:46
Speaker 3: the same thing, never ending. One's spirit, sir, are thus
31:50
Speaker 3: not always good, but then one learns to relish rest
31:53
Speaker 3: and food they pass.
31:57
Speaker 7: Yes, the poor women are bad aft tis It's true
32:01
Speaker 7: a stubborn bachelor. There's no converting.
32:04
Speaker 4: Het, but depends upon the like of an ill. And
32:08
Speaker 4: I should turn to better ways than flattering.
32:11
Speaker 7: Speak plainly, sir, have you no one detected? Has not
32:16
Speaker 7: your heart been anywhere subjected?
32:19
Speaker 4: The provob says, one's own warm heart and a good
32:23
Speaker 4: wife are gold and Jewel's word.
32:27
Speaker 7: I mean, have you not felt desire? Though ne'er so slightly?
32:33
Speaker 4: I have everywhere, in fact been entertained Politely, I.
32:38
Speaker 7: Meant to say, were you not touched in earnest?
32:41
Speaker 4: Ever, one should allow oneself to jest to it?
32:45
Speaker 7: Ladies, never, Ah, you don't understand.
32:50
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm so blind, but I'm sure that you
32:54
Speaker 4: are very kind.
32:57
Speaker 2: They pause and me, thou angel, didst thou recognize as
33:03
Speaker 2: through the garden gate I came.
33:05
Speaker 3: Did you not see it. I cast down my eyes, and.
33:09
Speaker 2: Thou forgivest my freedom and the blame to my impertinence,
33:13
Speaker 2: be fitting as the cathedral, thou wert quitting.
33:16
Speaker 3: I was confused the like ne'er happened to me. No
33:20
Speaker 3: one could ever speak to my discredit, Ah thought I
33:24
Speaker 3: in my conduct? Has he read it something immodest or
33:27
Speaker 3: unseemly free? He seemed to have the sudden feeling that
33:31
Speaker 3: with this wench to a very easy dealing. I will
33:33
Speaker 3: confess I knew not what appeal on your behalf here
33:36
Speaker 3: in my bosom grew. But I was angry with myself
33:39
Speaker 3: to feel that I could not be angrier with you,
33:43
Speaker 3: sweet darling, Wait a while.
33:46
Speaker 1: She plucks a starflower and pulled off the leaves, one
33:50
Speaker 1: after the other.
33:51
Speaker 2: Shall that a nosegay be?
33:54
Speaker 7: No?
33:55
Speaker 3: It is just in play. How go you'll laugh at me?
34:01
Speaker 1: She pulls off the leaves and.
34:02
Speaker 2: Murmurs, what murmurest thou half aloud?
34:07
Speaker 5: He loves me, He loves.
34:08
Speaker 2: Me, not thou sweet angelic soul.
34:13
Speaker 1: Margaret continues, loves me, not loves me. Not plucking the
34:18
Speaker 1: last leaf, she cries with frank delight.
34:21
Speaker 2: He loves me, yes, child, and let this blossom word
34:25
Speaker 2: for thee be speech divine. He loves thee. Ah knowest
34:30
Speaker 2: thou what it means. He loves thee.
34:33
Speaker 1: He grasps both her hands.
34:36
Speaker 2: I'm all a tremble, Oh tremble not. But let this look,
34:41
Speaker 2: let this warm clasp of hands declare thee. What is
34:44
Speaker 2: unspeakable to yield one wholly, and to feel a rapture
34:50
Speaker 2: in yielding? That must be eternal, eternal, for the end
34:55
Speaker 2: would be despair. No, no, no ending, no no ending.
35:02
Speaker 1: Martyr coming forward.
35:04
Speaker 7: The night is falling.
35:06
Speaker 4: Hi, we must away.
35:09
Speaker 7: I'd ask you longer here to terry. But evil tongues
35:12
Speaker 7: in this town have full play. It's as if nobody
35:16
Speaker 7: had nothing to fetch and carry, nor other labor. But
35:20
Speaker 7: spying all the doings of one's neighbor, and one becomes
35:24
Speaker 7: the talk Do whats? Or one may? Where is our couple?
35:28
Speaker 4: Now flown up to Ellie yonder doleful summer birds.
35:34
Speaker 7: He seems of her still fonder.
35:36
Speaker 4: And she of him, so runs the walled away.
