MARGARET (hiding her face in the bed of straw)
Woe! woe! they come! oh bitter 'tis to die!
FAUST (Softly)
Hush! hush! be still! I come to set thee free.
MARGARET (throwing herself at his feet)
If thou art human, feel my misery!
FAUST
Thou wilt awake the jailer with thy cry!
[He grasps the chains to unlock them.]
MARGARET (on her knees)
