I was confused. So had it never been;
No one of me could any evil say.
Alas, thought I, he doubtless in thy mien,
Something unmaidenly or bold hath seen?
It seemed as if it struck him suddenly,
Here's just a girl with whom one may make free!
Yet I must own that then I scarcely knew
What in your favour here began at once to plead;
Yet I was angry with myself indeed,
That I more angry could not feel with you.
FAUST
Sweet love!
MARGARET
Just wait awhile! (She gathers a star-flower and plucks off the leaves one after another.)
FAUST
A nosegay may that be?
MARGARET
No! It is but a game.
