MEPHISTOPHELES. My friend, you shall in this one night, In this one hour, know greater sensuous delight Than in a whole monotonous year! Delicate spirits now will bring You visions, and will charm your ear 1440 With song; theirs is no empty conjuring. Your palate also shall be sated, Your nostrils sweetly stimulated, Your sense of touch exhilarated. We are all ready, all are in Our places—come, at once, begin!
