Gott.Ay, the maid of whom I spake.

Faus. Is her name Gretchen?

Gott.Yes—she lives hard by,

With Mistress Martha. Faustus, thou shalt see her,

And join with me in worship at her shrine.

Faus. (confused). I understand—my words have weighed with thee,

And thou hast come to tell her of thy love.

Gott. Not I, indeed; despite thine eloquence,

I’m going from her for a weary while,

Maybe for ever. That will give her sorrow,
