And the falling hand

Mark the time no more for me!

Mephistopheles.

Consider well: in things like these

The devil’s memory is not apt to slip.

Faust.

That I know well; may’st keep thy heart at ease,

No random word hath wandered o’er my lip.

Slave I remain, or here, or there,

Thine, or another’s, I little care.
