CLOWN。 I will; sir:  but hark you; master; will you teach me this

conjuring occupation?



WAGNER。 Ay; sirrah; I'll teach thee to turn thyself to a dog;

or a cat; or a mouse; or a rat; or any thing。



CLOWN。 A dog; or a cat; or a mouse; or a rat!

O; brave; Wagner!



WAGNER。 Villain; call me Master Wagner; and see that you walk

attentively; and let your right eye be always diametrally fixed

upon my left heel; that thou mayst quasi vestigiis nostris

insistere。



CLOWN。 Well; sir; I warrant you。

     'Exeunt。'



     FAUSTUS discovered in his study。



FAUSTUS。 Now; Faustus;

Must thou needs be damn'd; canst thou not be sav'd。

What boots it; then; to think on God or heaven?

Away with such vain fancies; and despair;

Despair in God; and trust in Belzebub:

Now; go not backward; Faustus; be resolute:

Why waver'st thou?  O; something soundeth in mine ear;

〃Abjure this magic; turn to God again!〃

Why; he loves thee not;

The god thou serv'st is thine own appetite;

Wherein is fix'd the love of Belzebub:

To him I'll build an altar and a church;

And offer lukewarm blood of new…born babes。



     Enter GOOD ANGEL and EVIL ANGEL。



EVIL ANGEL。 Go forward; Faustus; in that famous art。



GOOD ANGEL。 Sweet Faustus; leave that execrable art。



FAUSTUS。 Contrition; prayer; repentancewhat of these?



GOOD ANGEL。 O; they are means to bring thee unto heaven!



EVIL ANGEL。 Rather illusions; fruits of lunacy;

That make men foolish that do use them most。



GOOD ANGEL。 Sweet Faustus; think of heaven and heavenly things。



EVIL ANGEL。 No; Faustus; think of honour and of wealth。

     'Exeunt ANGELS。'



FAUSTUS。 Wealth!

Why; the signiory of Embden shall be mine。

When Mephistophilis shall stand by me;

What power can hurt me?  Faustus; thou art safe:

Cast no more doubts。Mephistophilis; come;

And bring glad tidings from great Lucifer;

Is't not midnight?come Mephistophilis;

And bring glad tidings from great Lucifer;

Is't not midnight?come Mephistophilis;

Veni; veni; Mephistophile!



     Enter MEPHISTOPHILIS。



Now tell me what saith Lucifer; thy lord?



MEPHIST。 That I shall wait on Faustus whilst he lives;

So he will buy my service with his soul。



FAUSTUS。 Already Faustus hath hazarded that for thee。



MEPHIST。 But now thou must bequeath it solemnly;

And write a deed of gift with thine own blood;

For that security craves Lucifer。

If thou deny it; I must back to hell。



FAUSTUS。 Stay; Mephistophilis; and tell me; what good will my

soul do thy lord?



MEPHIST。 Enlarge his kingdom。



FAUSTUS。 Is that the reason why he tempts us thus?



MEPHIST。 Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris。



FAUSTUS。 Why; have you any pain that torture others?



MEPHIST。 As great as have the human souls of men。

But; tell me; Faustus; shall I have thy soul?

And I will be thy slave; and wait on thee;

And give thee more than thou hast wit to ask。



FAUSTUS。 Ay; Mephistophilis; I'll give it thee。



MEPHIST。 Then; Faustus; stab thine arm courageously;

And bind thy soul; that at some certain day

Great Lucifer may claim it as his own;

And then be thou as great as Lucifer。



FAUSTUS。 'Stabbing his arm' Lo; Mephistophilis; for love of thee;

Faustus hath cut his arm; and with his proper blood

Assures his soul to be great Lucifer's;

Chief lord and regent of perpetual night!

View here this blood that trickles from mine arm;

And let it be propitious for my wish。



MEPHIST。 But; Faustus;

Write it in manner of a deed of gift。



FAUSTUS。 'Writing' Ay; so I do。  But; Mephistophilis;

My blood congeals; and I can write no more。



MEPHIST。 I'll fetch thee fire to dissolve it straight。

     'Exit。'



FAUSTUS。 What might the staying of my blood portend?

Is it unwilling I should write this bill?

Why streams it not; that I may write afresh?

FAUSTUS GIVES TO THEE HIS SOUL:  O; there it stay'd!

Why shouldst thou not? is not thy soul thine own?

Then write again; FAUSTUS GIVES TO THEE HIS SOUL。



     Re…enter MEPHISTOPHILIS with the chafer of fire。



MEPHIST。 See; Faustus; here is fire; set it on。



FAUSTUS。 So; now the blood begins to clear again;

Now will I make an end immediately。

     'Writes。'



MEPHIST。 What will not I do to obtain his soul?

     'Aside。'



FAUSTUS。 Consummatum est; this bill is ended;

And Faustus hath bequeath'd his soul to Lucifer。

But what is this inscription on mine arm?

Homo; fuge:  whither should I fly?

If unto God; he'll throw me down to hell。

My senses are deceiv'd; here's nothing writ:

O; yes; I see it plain; even here is writ;

Homo; fuge:  yet shall not Faustus fly。



MEPHIST。 I'll fetch him somewhat to delight his mind。

     'Aside; and then exit。'



     Enter DEVILS; giving crowns and rich apparel to FAUSTUS。

     They dance; and then depart。



     Re…enter MEPHISTOPHILIS。



FAUSTUS。 What means this show? speak; Mephistophilis。



MEPHIST。 Nothing; Faustus; but to delight thy mind;

And let thee see what magic can perform。



FAUSTUS。 But may I raise such spirits when I please?



MEPHIST。 Ay; Faustus; and do greater things than these。



FAUSTUS。 Then; Mephistophilis; receive this scroll;

A deed of gift of body and of soul:

But yet conditionally that thou perform

All covenants and articles between us both!



MEPHIST。 Faustus; I swear by hell and Lucifer

To effect all promises between us both!



FAUSTUS。 Then hear me read it; Mephistophilis。

     'Reads。'

ON THESE CONDITIONS FOLLOWING。  FIRST; THAT FAUSTUS MAY BE A

SPIRIT IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE。  SECONDLY; THAT MEPHISTOPHILIS

SHALL BE HIS SERVANT; AND BE BY HIM COMMANDED。  THIRDLY; THAT

MEPHISTOPHILIS SHALL DO FOR HIM; AND BRING HIM WHATSOEVER HE

DESIRES。  FOURTHLY; THAT HE SHALL BE IN HIS CHAMBER OR HOUSE

INVISIBLE。  LASTLY; THAT HE SHALL APPEAR TO THE SAID JOHN FAUSTUS;

AT ALL TIMES; IN WHAT SHAPE AND FORM SOEVER HE PLEASE。  I; JOHN

FAUSTUS; OF WITTENBERG; DOCTOR; BY THESE PRESENTS; DO GIVE BOTH

BODY AND SOUL TO LUCIFER PRINCE OF THE EAST; AND HIS MINISTER

MEPHISTOPHILIS; AND FURTHERMORE GRANT UNTO THEM; THAT; FOUR…AND…

TWENTY YEARS BEING EXPIRED; AND THESE ARTICLES ABOVE…WRITTEN

BEING INVIOLATE; FULL POWER TO FETCH OR CARRY THE SAID JOHN FAUSTUS;

BODY AND SOUL; FLESH AND BLOOD; INTO THEIR HABITATION WHERESOEVER。

BY ME; JOHN FAUSTUS。



MEPHIST。 Speak; Faustus; do you deliver this as your deed?



FAUSTUS。 Ay; take it; and the devil give thee good of it!



MEPHIST。 So; now; Faustus; ask me what thou wilt。



FAUSTUS。 First I will question with thee about hell。

Tell me; where is the place that men call hell?



MEPHIST。 Under the heavens。



FAUSTUS。 Ay; so are all things else; but whereabouts?



MEPHIST。 Within the bowels of these elements;

Where we are tortur'd and remain for ever:

Hell hath no limits; nor is circumscrib'd

In one self…place; but where we are is hell;

And where hell is; there must we ever be:

And; to be short; when all the world dissolves;

And every creature shall be purified;

All places shall be hell that are not heaven。



FAUSTUS。 I think hell's a fable。



MEPHIST。 Ay; think so still; till experience change thy mind。



FAUSTUS。 Why; dost thou think that Faustus shall be damn'd?



MEPHIST。 Ay; of necessity; for here's the scroll

In which thou hast given thy soul to Lucifer。



FAUSTUS。 Ay; and body too; and what of that?

Think'st thou that Faustus is so fond to imagine

That; after this life; there is any pain?

No; these are trifles and mere old wives' tales。



MEPHIST。 But I am an instance to prove the contrary;

For I tell thee I am damn'd and now in hell。



FAUSTUS。 Nay; an this be hell; I'll willingly be damn'd:

What! sleeping; eating; walking; and disputing!

But; leaving this; let me have a wife;

The fairest maid in Germany;

For I am wanton and lascivious;

And cannot live without a wife。



MEPHIST。 Well; Faustus; thou shalt have a wife。



     'MEPHISTOPHILIS fetches in a WOMAN…DEVIL。'



FAUSTUS。 What sight is this?



MEPHIST。 Now; Faustus; wilt thou have a wife?



FAUSTUS。 Here's a hot whore; indeed:  no; I'll no wife。



MEPHIST。 Marriage is but a ceremonial toy;

And; if thou lov'st me; think no more of it。

I'll cull thee out the fairest courtezans;

And bring them every morning to thy bed:

She whom thine eye shall like; thy heart shall have;

Were she as chaste as was Penelope;

As wise as Saba; or as beautiful

As was bright Lucifer before his fall。

Here; take this book; peruse it well:

The iterating of these lines brings gold;

The framing of this circle on the ground

Brings thunder; whirlwinds; storm; and lightning;

Pronounce this thrice devoutly to thyself;

And men in harness shall appear to thee;

Ready to execute what thou command'st。



FAUSTUS。 Thanks; Mephistophilis; for this sweet book:

This will I keep as chary as my life。

     'Exeunt。'



     Enter FAUSTUS; in his study; and MEPHISTOPHILIS。



FAUSTUS。 When I behold the heavens; then I repent;

And curse thee; wicked Mephistophilis;

Because thou hast depriv'd me of those joys。



MEPHIST。 'Twas thine own seeking; Faustus; thank thyself。

But; think'st thou heaven is such a glorious thing?

I tell thee; Faustus; it is not half so fair

As thou; or any man that breathes on earth。



FAUSTUS。 How prov'st thou that?



MEPHIST。 'Twas made for man; then he's more excellent。



FAUSTUS。 If heaven was made for man; 'twas made for me:

I will renounce this magic and repent。



     Enter GOOD ANGEL and EVIL ANGEL。



GOOD ANGEL。 Faustus; repent; yet God will pity thee。



EVIL ANGEL。 Thou art a spirit; God cannot pity thee。



FAUSTUS。 Who buzzeth in mine ears I am a spirit?

Be I a devil; yet God may p
