Here words and prayers will only make things worse;

Come! come; or I must hale thee hence by force.

Margaret.

Let me alone! lay no rough hands on me!

Nor with such murderous clutches seize me!

Thou know’st I have done everything to please thee.

Faust.

The day dawns. Come, my Gretchen, follow me!

Margaret.

Day! yes, it is day! the Judgment-day breaks in!
