Ladies, farewell!
_Margaret_. Farewell!
_Martha_. But quick, before we part! --
I'd like some witness, vouching truly
Where, how and when my love died and was buried duly.
I've always paid to order great attention,
Would of his death read some newspaper mention.
_Mephistopheles_. Ay, my dear lady, in the mouths of two
Good witnesses each word is true;
I've a friend, a fine fellow, who, when you desire,
Will render on oath what you require.
I'll bring him here.
_Martha_. O pray, sir, do!
_Mephistopheles_. And this young lady 'll be there too?
Fine boy!
has travelled everywhere,
And all politeness to the fair.
_Margaret_. Before him shame my face must cover.
_Mephistopheles_. Before no king the wide world over!
_Martha_. Behind the house, in my garden, at leisure,
We'll wait this eve the gentlemen's pleasure.
