THE WITCH.
[dancing].
O I shall lose my wits, I fear,
Do I, again, see Squire Satan here!
MEPHISTOPHELES.
Woman, the name offends my ear!
THE WITCH.
Why so? What has it done to you?
MEPHISTOPHELES.
It has long since to fable-books been banished;
But men are none the better for it; true,
The wicked one, but not the wicked ones, has vanished.
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
