Mephistopheles. Observe her with great care!

That's Lilith.

Faust. Who?

Mephistopheles. Adam's first wife. Beware

That lovely hair of hers, those tresses

Which she incomparably delights to wear!

The young man whom she lures into their snare

She will not soon release from her caresses.

Faust. Yonder sit two, one old and one young thing.

They have already done some right good capering.

Mephistopheles. There is no rest today for young or old.

A new dance starts; come now let us take hold!

Faust [dancing with THE YOUNG WITCH].

Once came a lovely dream to me.

I saw therein an apple tree;

Two lovely apples on it shone,

They charmed me so, I climbed thereon.

The Beauty.

The little apples man entice

Since first they were in Paradise.

I feel myself with pleasure glow

That such within my garden grow.
