Trustful as innocence—her gentle soul,

Calm as a lake in heaven—her angel face,

God’s work,

Untainted by man’s desecrating touch!

And, at her side,

A scheming mummer, tricked in godly garb—

His tongue all plausible, his heart all false—

His lying manhood traitor to itself!

Faustus, mine enemy, I know thee now!

Faustus, mine enemy, I know thee now!
