a domestic is a dangerous guest。
Mephistopheles
I'll pledge myself to be thy servant here�察�Still at thy back alert and prompt to
be�察�But when together yonder we appear�察�Then shalt thou do the same for
me。
Faust
But small concern I feel for yonder world�察�Hast thou this system into ruin
hurl'd�察�Another may arise the void to fill。 This earth the fountain whence my
pleasures flow�察�This sun doth daily shine upon my woe�察�And if this world I
must forego�察�Let happen then�察 � what can and will。 I to this theme will close
mine ears�察�If men hereafter hate and love�察�And if there be in yonder spheres A
depth below or height above。
Mephistopheles
In this mood thou mayst venture it。 But make The compact� �I at once will
undertake To charm thee with mine arts。 I'll give thee more Than mortal eye
hath e'er beheld before。
Faust
What�察�sorry Devil�察�hast thou to bestow�拭�Was ever mortal spirit�察�in its high
endeavour�察�Fathom'd by Being such as thou�拭�Yet food thou hast which
satisfieth never�察�Hast ruddy gold�察�that still doth flow Like restless quicksilver
away�察�A game thou hast�察�at which none win who play�察�A girl who would�察�with
amorous eyen�察�E'en from my breast�察�a neighbour snare�察�Lofty ambition's joy
divine�察�That�察�meteor ´ like�察�dissolves in air。 Show me the fruit that�察�ere 'tis
pluck'd�察�doth rot�察�And trees�察�whose verdure daily buds anew��
Mephistopheles
Such a commission scares me not�察�I can provide such treasures�察�it is true�察�But��
my good friend�察�a season will come round�察�When on what's good we may
regale in peace。
Faust
If e'er upon my couch�察�stretched at my ease�察�I'm found�察�Then may my life that
instant cease� �Me canst thou cheat with glozing wile Till self ´ reproach away I
cast�察�Me with joy's lure canst thou beguile�察�Let that day be for me the last� �Be
this our wager��
Mephistopheles
Settled��
Faust
Sure and fast� �When to the moment I shall say�察 �Linger awhile� �so fair thou
art� ─�Then mayst thou fetter me straightway�察�Then to the abyss will I depart��
Then may the solemn death ´ bell sound�察�Then from thy service thou art free��
The index then may cease its round。 And time be never more for me��
Mephistopheles
I shall remember�此�pause�察�ere 'tis too late。
Faust
Thereto a perfect right hast thou。 My strength I do not rashly overrate。 Slave
am I here�察�at any rate�察�If thine�察�or whose�察�it matters not�察�I trow。
Mephistopheles
At thine inaugural feast I will this day Attend�察�my duties to commence。 But
one thing� � Accidents may happen�察�hence A line or two in writing grant�察�I
pray。
Faust
A writing�察�Pedant� �dost demand from me�拭�Man�察�and man's plighted word�察�are
these unknown to thee�拭�Is't not enough�察�that by the word I gave�察�My doom
for evermore is cast�拭�Doth not the world in all its currents rave�察�And must a
promise hold me fast�拭�Yet fixed is this delusion in our heart�察�Who�察�of his own
free will�察�therefrom would part�拭�How blest within whose breast truth reigneth
pure� �No sacrifice will he repent when made� �A formal deed�察�with seal and
signature�察�A spectre this from which all shrink afraid。 The word its life
resigneth in the pen�察�Leather and wax usurp the mastery then。 Spirits of evil��
what dost thou require�拭�Brass�察�marble�察�parchment�察�paper�察�dost desire�拭�Shall I
with chisel�察�pen�察�or graver write�拭�Thy choice is free�察�to me 'tis all the same。
Mephistopheles
Wherefore thy passion so excite And thus thine eloquence inflame�拭�A scrap is
for our compact good。 Thou under ´ signest merely with a drop of blood。
Faust
If this will satisfy thy mind�察�Thy whim I'll gratify�察�howe'er absurd。
Mephistopheles
Blood is a juice of very special kind。
Faust
Be not afraid that I shall break my word� �The scope of all my energy Is in
exact accordance with my vow。 Vainly I have aspired too high�察�I'm on a level
but with such as thou�察�Me the great spirit scorn'd�察�defied�察�Nature from me
herself doth hide�察�Rent is the web of thought�察�my mind Doth knowledge loathe
of every kind。 In depths of sensual pleasure drown'd�察�Let us our fiery passions
still� �Enwrapp'd in magic's veil profound�察�Let wondrous charms our senses
thrill� �Plunge we in time's tempestuous flow�察�Stem we the rolling surge of
chance� �There may alternate weal and woe�察�Success and failure�察�as they can��
Mingle and shift in changeful dance� �Excitement is the sphere for man。
Mephistopheles
Nor goal�察�nor measure is prescrib'd to you�察�If you desire to taste of every
thing�察�To snatch at joy while on the wing�察�May your career amuse and profit
too� �Only fall to and don't be over coy��
Faust
Hearken� �The end I aim at is not joy�察�I crave excitement�察�agonizing bliss��
Enamour'd hatred�察�quickening vexation。 Purg'd from the love of knowledge��
my vocation�察�The scope of all my powers henceforth be this�察�To bare my
breast to every pang�察 � to know In my heart's core all human weal and woe��
To grasp in thought the lofty and the deep�察�Men's various fortunes on my
breast to heap�察�And thus to theirs dilate my individual mind�察�And share at
length with them the shipwreck of mankind。
Mephistopheles
Oh�察�credit me�察�who still as ages roll�察�Have chew'd this bitter fare from year to
year�察�No mortal�察�from the cradle to the bier�察�Digests the ancient leaven��
Know�察�this Whole Doth for the Deity alone subsist� �He in eternal brightness
doth exist�察�Us unto darkness he hath brought�察�and here Where day and night
alternate�察�is your sphere。
Faust
But 'tis my will��
Mephistopheles
Well spoken�察�I admit� �But one thing puzzles me�察�my friend�察�Time's short�察�art
long�察�methinks 'twere fit That you to friendly counsel should attend。 A poet
choose as your ally� �Let him thought's wide dominion sweep�察�Each good and
noble quality�察�Upon your honoured brow to heap�察�The lion's magnanimity��
The fleetness of the hind�察�The fiery blood of Italy�察�The Northern's steadfast
mind。 Let him to you the mystery show To blend high aims and cunning low��
And while youth's passions are aflame To fall in love by rule and plan� �I fain
would meet with such a man�察�Would him Sir Microcosmus name。
Faust
What then am I�察�if I aspire in vain The crown of our humanity to gain��
Towards which my every sense doth strain��
Mephistopheles
Thou'rt after all ´ just what thou art。 Put on thy head a wig with countless
locks�察�And to a cubit's height upraise thy socks�察�Still thou remainest ever��
what thou art。
Faust
I fell it�察�I have heap'd upon my brain The gather'd treasure of man's thought in
vain�察�And when at length from studious toil I rest�察�No power�察�new ´ born��
springs up within my breast�察�A hair's breadth is not added to my height�察�I am
no nearer to the infinite。
Mephistopheles
Good sir�察�these things you view indeed�察�Just as by other men they're view'd��
We must more cleverly proceed�察�Before life's joys our grasp elude。 The devil��
thou hast hands and feet�察�And head and heart are also thine�察�What I enjoy
with relish sweet�察�Is it on that account less mine�拭�If for six stallions I can pay��
Do I not own their strength and speed�拭�A proper man I dash away�察�As their
two dozen legs were mine indeed。 Up then�察�from idle pondering free�察�And
forth into the world with me� �I tell you what�察 � your speculative churl Is like a
beast which some ill spirit leads�察�On barren wilderness�察�in ceaseless whirl��
While all around lie fair and verdant meads。
Faust
But how shall we begin��
Mephistopheles
We will go hence with speed�察�A place of torment this indeed� �A precious life��
thyself to bore�察�And some few youngster evermore� �Leave that to neighbour
Paunch� � withdraw�察�Why wilt thou plague thyself with thrashing straw�拭�The
very best that thou dost know Thou dar'st not to the striplings show。 One in
the passage now doth wait��
Faust
I'm in no mood to see him now。
Mephistopheles
Poor lad� �He must be tired�察�I trow�察�He must not go disconsolate。 Hand me
thy cap and gown�察�the mask Is for my purpose quite first rate。 ��He changes
his dress。�� Now leave it to my wit� �I ask But quarter of an hour�察�meanwhile
equip�察�And make all ready for our pleasant trip��
��Exit Faust。��
Mephistopheles And A Student
Mephistopheles ��in Faust's long gown��
Mortal� �the loftiest attributes of men�察�Reason and Knowledge�察�only thus
contemn�察�Still let the Prince of lies�察�without control�察�With shows�察�and mocking
charms delude thy soul�察�I have thee unconditionally then� �Fate hath endow'd
him with an ardent mind�察�Which unrestrain'd still presses on for ever�察�And
whose precipitate endeavour Earth's joys o'erleaping�察�leaveth them behind。
Him will I drag through life's wild waste�察�Through scenes of vapid dulness��
where at last Bewilder'd�察�he shall falter�察�and stick fast�察�And�察�still to mock his
greedy haste�察�Viands and drink shall float his craving lips beyond Vainly he'll
seek refreshment�察�anguish ´ tost�察�And were he not the devil's by his bond�察�Yet
must his soul infallibly be lost��
A Student enters
Student
But recently I've quitted home�察�Full of devotion am I come A man to know
and hear�察�whose name With reverence is known to fame。
Mephistopheles
Your courtesy much flatters me� �A man like other men you see�察�Pray have
you yet applied elsewhere��
Student
I would entreat your friendly care� �I've youthful blood and courage high�察�Of
gold I bring a fair supply�察�To let me go my mother was not fain�察�But here I
longed true knowledge to attain。
Mephistopheles
You've hit upon the very place。
Student
And yet my steps I would retrace。 These walls�察�this melancholy room��
O'erpower me with a sense of gloom�察�The space is narrow�察�nothing green�察�No
friendly tree is to be seen�此�And in these halls�察�with benches filled�察�distraught��
Sight�察�hearing fail me�察�and the power of thought。
Mephistopheles
It all depends on habit。 Thus at first The infant takes not kindly to the breast��
But before long�察�its eager thirst Is fain to slake
