GARDEN

MARGARET on FAUST's arm. MARTHA with MEPHISTOPHELES walking up and down.

I feel it, you but spare my ignorance,
The gentleman to blame me stoops thus low.

[Illustration: FAUST AND MARGARET From the Painting by Carl Becker]

A traveler from complaisance
Still makes the best of things; I know
Too well, my humble prattle never can
Have power to entertain so wise a man.
