Reason and sense forsake my brain,
Since I behold Squire Satan here again!†

forsake = abandon or give up on
And I must nurse it, warm beside me press it,
And oft, to quiet it, my bed forsake,
And dandling back and forth the restless creature take,
Then at the wash-tub stand, at morning's break;
And then the marketing and kitchen-tending,
Day after day, the same thing, never-ending.†
The dreary moon forsakes the sky;
The magic notes, like spark on spark,
Drizzle, whistling through the dark.†

forsakes = abandons or gives up on
(To FAUST, who has left the dance:)
Wherefore forsakest thou the lovely maiden,
That in the dance so sweetly sang?†

forsakest = abandon or give up on

standard suffix: Today, the suffix "-st" is dropped, so that where they said "Thou forsakest" in older English, today we say "You forsake."
It is so wretched, to be strange, forsaken,
And I'd still be followed and taken!†

forsaken = abandoned or given up on
