Faust tries to save Margaret. This is not possible
anymore, because Margaret has become mad and hardly
understands, what he says to her. When Mephistopheles
appears everything is absolutely lost, because
now Faust makes her shrink from him. Dying she
says:
| |
MARGARETE: |
|
MARGARET. |
 |
Dein bin ich, Vater! Rette mich!
Ihr Engel! Ihr heiligen Scharen,
Lagert euch umher, mich zu bewahren!
Heinrich! Mir graut's vor dir.
|
|
Thine am I, Father! Rescue me!
Ye angels! Ye heavenly hosts!
Appear,
Encamp about and guard me here!
Henry! I shrink from you! |
| |
 |
|
|
|
Upon this Henry! I shrink from you! Her terror of Mephistopheles is expressed in the two phrases as follows:
|
MEPHISTOPHELES:
|
|
MEPHISTOPHELES
|
| |
Sie ist gerichtet! |
|
She is judged! |
| |
STIMME (von oben):
