Faust.

Yes; when our parsons preach to make grimaces,

As here and there a not uncommon case is.

Wagner.

Alack! when a poor wight is so confined

Amid his books, shut up from all mankind,

And sees the world scarce on a holiday,

As through a telescope and far away,

How may he hope, with nicely tempered skill,

To bend the hearts he knows not to his will?
