English poem
Mephistopheles
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
Now in some puddle will he take his station, Such is his mode of seeking consolation; Where leeches, feasting on his rump, will drain Spirits alike and spirit from his brain. (To FAUST, who has left the dance.)
But why the charming damsel leave, I pray, Who to you in the dance so sweetly sang?
