As thou hast pictured, take her to thine heart
While yet thou mayst. Had I loved such a one
I should not now be wearing out my life
In these sad solitudes!
Gott. (sadly).There spake the heart,
And not the lips.
Faus. (recollecting himself). May Heaven pardon me!
I knew not what I said!
Gott.My dear old friend!
Come, I must say farewell, my troop awaits me.
