Meph. (aside). Not he!

Faus.I hold that truest happiness

Is born of wedlock.

Meph. (aside). Bravo, celibate!

Gret. And yet it much rejoiceth thee to know

That cousin Gottfried hath no thought of wedlock?

Faus. Nay, maiden, it rejoiceth me to know

That cousin Gretchen hath no thought of wedlock.

Gret. Thou dost not wish me happy, then?

Faus.My heart!
