Re: So, I guess it's small wonder Sarkozy's eager to visit his chief bankroller....

I'll bet you never stood up late at night wondering why Jacques Chirac didn't do just that for the last six years of his presidency.


Sarkozus
Wealth? Why the signory of Embden shall be mine.
When Mephistophilis shall stand by me,
What power can hurt me? Sarkozus, thou art safe.
Cast no more doubts; Mephistophilis,
And bring glad tidings from great Lucifer
Is't not midnight? Come, Mephistophilis.
Veni veni Mephostophile. [Enter Mephistophilis.]

Now tell me, what saith Lucifer, thy Lord?

Mephistophilis
That I shall wait on Sarkozus whilst he lives,
So he will buy my service with his soul.

Sarkozus
Already Sarkozus hath hazarded that for thee.

Mephistophilis
But now thou must bequeath it solemnly,
And write a deed of gift with thine owe blood,
For that security craves Lucifer
If thou deny it I must back to hell.

Sarkozus
Stay, Mephistophilis, and tell me,
What good will my soul do thy Lord?

Mephistophilis
Enlarge his Kingdom.

Sarkozus
Is that the reason why he tempts us thus?

Mephistophilis
Solamen miseris, socios habuisse doloris.

Sarkozus
Why, have you any pain that torture other?

Mephistophilis
As great as have the humane souls of men.
But tell me Sarkozus, shall I have thy soul?
And I will be thy slave and wait on thee,
And give thee more then thou hast wit to ask.

Sarkozus
I Mephistophilis, I'll give it him.

Mephistophilis
Then Sarkozus stab thy arm courageously,
And bind thy soul, that at some certain day
Great Lucifer may claim it as his owe,
And then be thou as great as Lucifer
