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!
