Mart. Why so? No, beauteous maiden, These jewels are for you; The gift are they of some enamor'd lord. My husband, I must say, Was of a less generous turn!
(Mephistopheles and Faust enter.)
SCENE VIII.
Mephistopheles, Faust, and the before-named.
Mep. (making a profound bow). Tell me, I pray, are you Martha Schwerlein?
Mart. Sir, I am!
Mep. Pray pardon me, If thus I venture to present myself. (Aside, to Faust.) You see your presents Are right graciously received.
(To Martha.)
