Tired of it all, he decides to take poison. As he is about to drink it, he hears the voices of a church choir. The holy strains break his resolve, and he decides to live for higher things. Startled by the appearance of Mephistopheles, who. promises him all that his heart could desire, Faust forgets his resolve, and asks Mephistopheles to give him back his youth. The Devil transforms him into a handsome young man, and lulls him into a deep sleep. In his the Devil conjures up a vision of Marguerita, and when Faust. awakens, takes him to the house of Mar-. guerita, who in turn has dreamed of Faust. The love scene between Marguerita and Faust is interrupted, and Faust escapes" through the garden and forsakes Marguerita. Faust is then taken to a rocky mountain gorge, where Mephistopheles tells him that Marguerita is in prison, condemned to death. He will save her if Faust will become his slave _ forever. Faust signs the bond, and they begin a wild ride at breathless speed. At the end, amid horrible sights and sounds, they drop into the inferno. Then angels descend to bear Marguerita to Heaven.
