belly…cheer as Wagner in his life ne'er saw the like:  and;

see where they come! belike the feast is ended。

     'Exit。'



     Enter FAUSTUS; MEPHISTOPHILIS; and two or three SCHOLARS。



FIRST SCHOLAR。 Master Doctor Faustus; since our conference

about fair ladies; which was the beautifulest in all the world;

we have determined with ourselves that Helen of Greece was the

admirablest lady that ever lived:  therefore; Master Doctor; if

you will do us so much favour as to let us see that peerless

dame of Greece; whom all the world admires for majesty; we should

think ourselves much beholding unto you。



FAUSTUS。 Gentlemen;

For that I know your friendship is unfeign'd;

It is not Faustus' custom to deny

The just request of those that wish him well:

You shall behold that peerless dame of Greece;

No otherwise for pomp or majesty

Than when Sir Paris cross'd the seas with her;

And brought the spoils to rich Dardania。

Be silent; then; for danger is in words。



     Music sounds。  MEPHISTOPHILIS brings in HELEN; she passeth

     over the stage。



SECOND SCHOLAR。 Was this fair Helen; whose admired worth

Made Greece with ten years' war afflict poor Troy?



THIRD SCHOLAR。 Too simple is my wit to tell her worth;

Whom all the world admires for majesty。



FIRST SCHOLAR。 Now we have seen the pride of Nature's work;

We'll take our leaves:  and; for this blessed sight;

Happy and blest be Faustus evermore!



FAUSTUS。 Gentlemen; farewell:  the same wish I to you。

     'Exeunt SCHOLARS。'



     Enter an OLD MAN。



OLD MAN。 O gentle Faustus; leave this damned art;

This magic; that will charm thy soul to hell;

And quite bereave thee of salvation!

Though thou hast now offended like a man;

Do not persever in it like a devil:

Yet; yet thou hast an amiable soul;

If sin by custom grow not into nature;

Then; Faustus; will repentance come too late;

Then thou art banish'd from the sight of heaven:

No mortal can express the pains of hell。

It may be; this my exhortation

Seems harsh and all unpleasant:  let it not;

For; gentle son; I speak it not in wrath;

Or envy of thee; but in tender love;

And pity of thy future misery;

And so have hope that this my kind rebuke;

Checking thy body; may amend thy soul。



FAUSTUS。 Where art thou; Faustus? wretch; what hast thou done?

Hell claims his right; and with a roaring voice

Says; 〃Faustus; come; thine hour is almost come;〃

And Faustus now will come to do thee right。



     'MEPHISTOPHILIS gives him a dagger。'



OLD MAN。 O; stay; good Faustus; stay thy desperate steps!

I see an angel hover o'er thy head;

And; with a vial full of precious grace;

Offers to pour the same into thy soul:

Then call for mercy; and avoid despair。



FAUSTUS。 O friend; I feel

Thy words to comfort my distressed soul!

Leave me a while to ponder on my sins。



OLD MAN。 Faustus; I leave thee; but with grief of heart;

Fearing the enemy of thy hapless soul。

     'Exit。'



FAUSTUS。 Accursed Faustus; wretch; what hast thou done?

I do repent; and yet I do despair:

Hell strives with grace for conquest in my breast:

What shall I do to shun the snares of death?



MEPHIST。 Thou traitor; Faustus; I arrest thy soul

For disobedience to my sovereign lord:

Revolt; or I'll in piece…meal tear thy flesh。



FAUSTUS。 I do repent I e'er offended him。

Sweet Mephistophilis; entreat thy lord

To pardon my unjust presumption;

And with my blood again I will confirm

The former vow I made to Lucifer。



MEPHIST。 Do it; then; Faustus; with unfeigned heart;

Lest greater dangers do attend thy drift。



FAUSTUS。 Torment; sweet friend; that base and aged man;

That durst dissuade me from thy Lucifer;

With greatest torments that our hell affords。



MEPHIST。 His faith is great; I cannot touch his soul;

But what I may afflict his body with

I will attempt; which is but little worth。



FAUSTUS。 One thing; good servant; let me crave of thee;

To glut the longing of my heart's desire;

That I may have unto my paramour

That heavenly Helen which I saw of late;

Whose sweet embraces may extinguish clean

Those thoughts that do dissuade me from my vow;

And keep my oath I made to Lucifer。



MEPHIST。 This; or what else my Faustus shall desire;

Shall be perform'd in twinkling of an eye。



     Re…enter HELEN; passing over the stage between two CUPIDS。



FAUSTUS。 Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships;

And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?

Sweet Helen; make me immortal with a kiss。

     'Kisses her。'

Her lips suck forth my soul:  see; where it flies!

Come; Helen; come; give me my soul again。

Here will I dwell; for heaven is in these lips;

And all is dross that is not Helena。

I will be Paris; and for love of thee;

Instead of Troy; shall Wittenberg be sack'd;

And I will combat with weak Menelaus;

And wear thy colours on my plumed crest;

Yea; I will wound Achilles in the heel;

And then return to Helen for a kiss。

O; thou art fairer than the evening air

Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars;

Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter

When he appear'd to hapless Semele;

More lovely than the monarch of the sky

In wanton Arethusa's azur'd arms;

And none but thou shalt be my paramour!

     'Exeunt。'



     Thunder。 Enter LUCIFER; BELZEBUB; and MEPHISTOPHILIS。



LUCIFER。 Thus from infernal Dis do we ascend

To view the subjects of our monarchy;

Those souls which sin seals the black sons of hell;

'Mong which; as chief; Faustus; we come to thee;

Bringing with us lasting damnation

To wait upon thy soul: the time is come

Which makes it forfeit。



MEPHIST。 And; this gloomy night;

Here; in this room; will wretched Faustus be。



BELZEBUB。 And here we'll stay;

To mark him how he doth demean himself。



MEPHIST。 How should he but in desperate lunacy?

Fond worldling; now his heart…blood dries with grief;

His conscience kills it; and his labouring brain

Begets a world of idle fantasies

To over…reach the devil; but all in vain;

His store of pleasures must be sauc'd with pain。

He and his servant Wagner are at hand;

Both come from drawing Faustus' latest will。

See; where they come!



     Enter FAUSTUS and WAGNER。



FAUSTUS。 Say; Wagner;thou hast perus
