MARTHA'S GARDEN 187<br />

FAUST. What do you mean?<br />

MARGARET. The man whom thou hast ever at thy<br />

si<strong>de</strong>,<br />

1 hate him from the bottom of my soul.<br />

In my whole life, has nothing given my heart<br />

So <strong>de</strong>ep a wound, as that man's alien visage.<br />

FAUST. Beloved, fear him not.<br />

MARGARET. The very sight of him makes my blood<br />

thrill !<br />

To most men I feel kindliness-but him<br />

Do I <strong>de</strong>test; and with a feeling strong,<br />

STtrong as my love for you-strong as my wishes<br />

o have you with me-does a secret shud<strong>de</strong>r<br />

Cree'p over me when I behold thiq man.<br />

R e Is-1 cannot be <strong>de</strong>ceived-he is<br />

A Villain ;-God forgive me, if I wrong him !<br />

FAUST. He's a queer fellow-do not mind his oddities.<br />

MARGARET.<br />

I would not-could not, live together<br />

with him.<br />

If for a moment he comes to the door,<br />

Re will look in with such an air of mockery,<br />

~d a half scowl, and a face dark with anger<br />

ept down-you see he has no interest<br />

~ anything-' tis written on his brow<br />

A: feels no love for any living soul­<br />

~ud When I am so happy in thy arms,<br />

~ the sweet confi<strong>de</strong>nce of love forgettingorgetting<br />

everything but thee, then-then<br />

Re's sure to come, and my heart shrinks and withers!<br />

FAUST. Foreboding angel, these are weak misgivings!<br />

lIARGARET.<br />

The feeling overmasters me so wholly<br />

!~at if he does but join us, straightway seems it<br />

~ if I ceased to love thee-where he is<br />

~ could not pray. This eats into my heart.<br />

enry, it cannot be but that you feel<br />

1 n this as I do.<br />

FAUST.<br />

This is antipathy.<br />

MARGARET. I must away.<br />
