English poem
Brander
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
Here, over this green arbor bending, See what a vine! what grapes depending!
(He takes SIEBEL by the nose: the others do the same reciprocally, and raise their knives.)
MEPHISTOPHELES (as above)
Loose, Error, from their eyes the band, And how the Devil jests, be now enlightened!
(He disappears with FAUST: the revellers start and separate.)
