Faust (Chap. 17) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

AT THE FOUNTAIN

MARGARET and LISBETH With pitchers.

LISBETH
Hast nothing heard of Barbara?

MARGARET
No, not a word. I go so little out.

LISBETH
It's true, Sibylla said, to-day.
She's played the fool at last, there's not a doubt.
Such taking-on of airs!

MARGARET
How so?


LISBETH
It stinks!
She's feeding two, whene'er she eats and drinks.

MARGARET

Ah!
