Faust -- Part 1 -- translated by Theil

Take heed,
The import of this primal sentence weigh,
Lest thy too hasty pen be led astray!†

heed = pay close attention to; or do what is suggested
Like a fox in iron snare,
Hell's old lynx is quaking there,
But take heed!†
MEPHISTOPHELES
You are upon the proper track, I find;
Take heed, let nothing dissipate your mind.†
BRANDER
Take proper heed, the tailor strictly charge,
The nicest measurement to take,
And as he loves his head, to make
The hose quite smooth and not too large!†
Virtue she hath, and modest heed,
Is piquant too, and sharp withal.†
Maiden take heed!†
To my last words give heed!†
Laws are unheeded by the devil's host;
Wise as we are, yet Tegel hath its ghost!†

unheeded = ignored

standard prefix: The prefix "un-" in unheeded means not and reverses the meaning of heeded. This is the same pattern you see in words like unhappy, unknown, and unlucky.

Definitions:
