English poem
Mephistopheles
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
Of customers you'll have a rout.
THE HE-MONKEY (approaching and fawning on MEPHISTOPHELES)
Quick! quick! throw the dice, Make me rich in a trice, Oh give me the prize! Alas, for myself! Had I plenty of pelf, I then should be wise.
