FAUST. To conquer him must I rehearse,<br />
First that <strong>de</strong>ep mysterious verse,<br />
Which each elemental spirit,<br />
Of the or<strong>de</strong>rs four, who hear it,<br />
Trembling, will confess and fear it.<br />
Scorching S.HuDllNDER, burn,<br />

Vanish, SYLPII, to thy far home,<br />
Labour vex thee, drudging G!{03IE.<br />
He is but a sorry scholar,<br />
To whom ellch elemental ruler,<br />
