So murky is it in my soul.

Mephistopheles.

And I’ve a qualmish sort of feeling,

Like a cat on a rainy day,

Creeping round the wall, and stealing

Near the fireplace, if it may.

Yet am I in most virtuous trim

For a small turn at stealing, or at lechery;

So jumps already through my every limb

Walpurgis-Night, with all its glorious witchery.
