ALL。 Faustus; farewell。
'Exeunt SCHOLARS。'
MEPHIST。 Ay; Faustus; now thou hast no hope of heaven;
Therefore despair; think only upon hell;
For that must be thy mansion; there to dwell。
FAUSTUS。 O thou bewitching fiend; 'twas thy temptation
Hath robb'd me of eternal happiness!
MEPHIST。 I do confess it; Faustus; and rejoice:
'Twas I that; when thou wert i'the way to heaven;
Damm'd up thy passage; when thou took'st the book
To view the Scriptures; then I turn'd the leaves;
And led thine eye。
What; weep'st thou? 'tis too late; despair! Farewell:
Fools that will laugh on earth must weep in hell。
'Exit。'
Enter GOOD ANGEL and EVIL ANGEL at several doors。
GOOD ANGEL。 0 Faustus; if thou hadst given ear to me;
Innumerable joys had follow'd thee!
But thou didst love the world。
EVIL ANGEL。 Gave ear to me;
And now must taste hell…pains perpetually。
GOOD ANGEL。 O; what will all thy riches; pleasures; pomps;
Avail thee now?
EVIL ANGEL。 Nothing; but vex thee more;
To want in hell; that had on earth such store。
GOOD ANGEL。 0; thou hast lost celestial happiness;
Pleasures unspeakable; bliss without end
Hadst thou affected sweet divinity;
Hell or the devil had had no power on thee:
Hadst thou kept on that way; Faustus; behold;
'Music; while a throne descends。'
In what resplendent glory thou hadst sit
In yonder throne; like those bright…shining saints;
And triumph'd over hell! That hast thou lost;
And now; poor soul; must thy good angel leave thee:
The jaws of hell are open to receive thee。
'Exit。 The throne ascends。'
EVIL ANGEL。 Now; Faustus; let thine eyes with horror stare
'Hell is discovered。'
Into that vast perpetual torture…house:
There are the Furies tossing damned souls
On burning forks; there bodies boil in lead;
There are live quarters broiling on the coals;
That ne'er can die; this ever…burning chair
Is for o'er…tortur'd souls to rest them in;
These that are fed with sops of flaming fire;
Were gluttons; and lov'd only delicates;
And laugh'd to see the poor starve at their gates:
But yet all these are nothing; thou shalt see
Ten thousand tortures that more horrid be。
FAUSTUS。 O; I have seen enough to torture me!
EVIL ANGEL。 Nay; thou must feel them; taste the smart of all:
He that loves pleasure must for pleasure fall:
And so I leave thee; Faustus; till anon;
Then wilt thou tumble in confusion。
'Exit。 Hell disappears。The clock strikes eleven。'
FAUSTUS。 O Faustus;
Now hast thou but one bare hour to live;
And then thou must be damn'd perpetually!
Stand still; you ever…moving spheres of heaven;
That time may cease; and midnight never come;
Fair Nature's eye; rise; rise again; and make
Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
A year; a month; a week; a natural day;
That Faustus may repent and save his soul!
O lente; lente currite; noctis equi!
The stars move still; time runs; the clock will strike;
The devil will come; and Faustus must be damn'd。
O; I'll leap up to heaven!Who pulls me down?
See; where Christ's blood streams in the firmament!
One drop of blood will save me: O my Christ!
Rend not my heart for naming of my Christ;
Yet will I call on him: O; spare me; Lucifer!
Where is it now? 'tis gone:
And; see; a threatening arm; an angry brow!
Mountains and hills; come; come; and fall on me;
And hide me from the heavy wrath of heaven!
No!
Then will I headlong run into the earth:
Gape; earth! O; no; it will not harbour me!
You stars that reign'd at my nativity;
Whose influence hath allotted death and hell;
Now draw up Faustus; like a foggy mist;
Into the entrails of yon labouring cloud's';
That; when you vomit forth into the air;
My limbs may issue from your smoky mouths;
But let my soul mount and ascend to heaven!
'The clock strikes the half…hour。'
O; half the hour is past! 'twill all be past anon。
O; if my soul must suffer for my sin;
Impose some end to my incessant pain;
Let Faustus live in hell a thousand years;
A hundred thousand; and at last be sav'd!
No end is limited to damned souls。
Why wert thou not a creature wanting soul?
Or why is this immortal that thou hast?
O; Pythagoras' metempsychosis; were that true;
This soul should fly from me; and I be chang'd
Into some brutish beast! all beasts are happy;
For; when they die;
Their souls are soon dissolv'd in elements;
But mine must live still to be plagu'd in hell。
Curs'd be the parents that engender'd me!
No; Faustus; curse thyself; curse Lucifer
That hath depriv'd thee of the joys of heaven。
'The clock strikes twelve。'
It strikes; it strikes! Now; body; turn to air;
Or Lucifer will bear thee quick to hell!
O soul; be chang'd into small water…drops;
And fall into the ocean; ne'er be found!
Thunder。 Enter DEVILS。
O; mercy; heaven! look not so fierce on me!
Adders and serpents; let me breathe a while!
Ugly hell; gape not! come not; Lucifer!
I'll burn my books!O Mephistophilis!
'Exeunt DEVILS with FAUSTUS。'
Enter SCHOLARS。
FIRST SCHOLAR。 Come; gentlemen; let us go visit Faustus;
For such a dreadful night was never seen;
Since first the world's creation did begin;
Such fearful shrieks and cries were never heard:
Pray heaven the doctor have escap'd the danger。
SECOND SCHOLAR。
O; help us; heaven! see; here are Faustus' limbs;
All torn asunder by the hand of death!
THIRD SCHOLAR。
The devils whom Faustus serv'd have torn him thus;
For; twixt the hours of twelve and one; methought;
I heard him shriek and call aloud for help;
At which self time the house seem'd all on fire
With dreadful horror of these damned fiends。
SECOND SCHOLAR。 Well; gentlemen; though Faustus' end be such
As every Christian heart laments to think on;
Yet; for he was a scholar once admir'd
For wondrous knowledge in our German schools;
We'll give his mangled limbs due burial;
And all the students; cloth'd in mourning black;
Shall wait upon his heavy funeral。
'Exeunt。'
Enter CHORUS。
CHORUS。 Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight;
And burned is Apollo's laurel…bough;
That sometime grew within this learned man。
Faustus is gone: regard his hellish fall;
Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise;
Only to wonder at unlawful things;
Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits
To practise more than heavenly power permits。
'Exit。'
