And in pieces will fly!

Mephistopheles.

What make you with the sieve?

The Father Cat-Ape. [bringing down the sieve]

When comes a thief,

On the instant we know him.

[He runs off to the Mother Cat-Ape, and lets her look through the sieve.]

Look through the sieve!

See’st thou the thief,

And fearest to show him?
