Meph. Yes. Come now. Sign!
What’s this? Your hand trembles?
Youth awaits you;
if you only dare to behold!
(A vision of a beautiful girl appears)
Very well, then.
How does it seem to you?
Faust I will sign!
Meph. As you wish!
And now, master.
‘Tis I who invite you to drink
from this cup, which bubbles no
longer with poison and death; but
with life.

| Faust is shown the vision of Margaurite by the devil |
vision.
(Faust drains the cup)
Meph. Come! \
Faust I will see her?
Meph. Indeed.
Faust When?
Meph. Today. Let’s be off.
Both To me (you) youthful pleasure,a maiden’s caress and desires.
To me (you) the glowing strength
of youth, the foolish orgies of the
senses!
To me (you) ardent youth!
Its intoxication and pleasures!
