Faust
Faust and Fay went out to play all alone on autumn day,
in the barn the two would stray and muffle around in golden hay.
Then appeared the Devil himself seeking souls for an empty shelf,
Who ye be faust then said, are ye the Devil all covered in red?
No, not I, he did reply, I like to frequent from the sky!
Leave us be! Fay lashed out, we need no other frequent about!
But I've come to make a magical sale, do you care to hear my tale?
A magical sale you'd like to sell? take a seat and do me tell.
The Devil then sat with a lazy loll, The price you pay shall be your soul.
My soul you say shall be my pay? Then show this magic you sell today!
No! Said Fay, he lies this way, he's only here to do us harm don't
listen to him or his charm! He is the Devil, who is a heel, and all he seeks
is a soul to steal!
Begone ye Devil, Faust then said, remove yourself or we'll remove your head!
