The devil, sir, makes no undue exaction,
And pays what he has promised to a fraction;
But this affair requires consideration,
We’ll leave it for some future conversation.
For this time, I beseech your grace,
Let me be gone; I’ve work to do.
Faust.
Stay but one minute, I’ve scarce seen your face.
Speak; you should know the newest of the new.
Mephistopheles.
