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.
