Frankly, I must admit, I trembled with fear.Yet the Devil said with a friendly countenance:
"I have examined all that you crave,
and I would serve you with a thousand joys.
Yes, it was virtually an obligation of honor,To accommodate you, and balm your heart,
But to retrieve morality - that I cannot do!" -
"And why not?" - "Because I devised it myself!"
"You - created morals?" -"Whoever else?" - "Yes, but you are known throughout the world
as the father of immorality!" -
Then Satan smiled: "They're very connected!"
