Solches durch seine subtilne Kunst hat gethan, Und des Teufels Lohn empfangen davon. 1525." On neither of the two pictures does Mephistopheles appear, unless he is meant to be represented in the shape of the black dog. It is not, however, Goethe's poodle that meets us here, but a sleek little creature with a collar around his neck, looking very much like a wooden toy-dog.
In his retirement he will read the lines of Schiller a favourite quotation in Germany "Der Mohr hat seine Schuldigkeit gethan, der Mohr kann gehen." "The Moor has done his work, the Moor can go." And in his old age he will exclaim, as Shakespeare makes the great Chancellor of Henry the Eighth exclaim, "Oh Cromwell, Cromwell!
Let us read together the third part of Faust; for I understand it at last." "Hush, man," he said, half rising with an expression of alarm. "Control yourself." "Do not let tears mislead you. I am calm and strong. Quick, let us have Goethe: Das Unbeschreibliche, Hier ist gethan; Das Ewig-Weibliche, Zieht uns hinan." "Come, come. Dry your eyes and be quiet. I have no library here."
"Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen Am Ende Schiffer und Kahn; Und das hat mit ihrem Singen Die Lorelei gethan." "You wicked little Lorelei," she panted, as they sat down on the sand. "I'm not wicked," said Anne, composedly, "and the next time you use me for a model, Judy, I wish you would get an easier place than on that old rock."

All the train is cut off in a manner. Sir Peter Halket and his son, Captain Polson, Captain Gethan, Captain Rose, Captain Tatten killed, and many others.

In his attempts to obtain human souls the Devil is frequently foiled by the superior cunning of mortals.
