I would it were my care to make thee happy!
Gret. Now I am sorely puzzled!
Meph. (aside).And no wonder!
Gret. Thou wishest Gottfried happy, and me happy;
In wedlock, only, is true happiness;
And yet, forsooth, it much rejoiceth thee
To know that he and I are not to wed!
Meph. (aside). Pretty logician! A dilemma, truly!
Faus. Nay, Gretchen, better let the riddle rest
Till time shall solve it!
