of Doctor Faustus
Faust.
Gramarcy Wagner.
Welcome Gentlemen.
1
Now worthy Faustus, me thinks your looks are chang'd.
Faust.
Oh Gentlemen.
2.
What ayles Faustus?
Faust.
Ah my sweet Chamber-fellow, had I liv'd with thee,
Then had I liv'd still, but now must die eternally.
Looke sirs, comes he not, comes he not?
1.
O my deare Faustus, what imports this feare?
2.
Is all our pleasure turn'd to melancholy?
3.
He is not well with being over solitary.
2
If it be so, weele have Physitians, and Faustus shall be cur'd.
3
Tis but a surfet, feare nothing.
Faust.
A surfet of deadly sinne, that hath damn'd both body and soule.
2
Yet Faustus looke up to heaven, and remember mercy is infinite.
Faust.
But Faustus offence can nere be pardoned:
The Serpent that tempted Eve may be saved,
But not Faustus: O Gentlemen, heare with patience, and tremble not at my speeches, though my heart pant and quiver to remember that I have been a Student here these 30. years. O would I had nere seene Wittenberge, never read booke, and what wonders I have done, all Germany can witnesse, yea all the world: for which Faustus hath lost both Germany and the world, yea Heaven it selfe: Heaven, the seat of God, the Throne of the blessed, the Kingdome of joy, and must remaine in Hell for ever. Hell, O Hell for ever. Sweet friends, what shall become of Faustus being in Hell for ever?
2
Yet Faustus call on God.
Faust.
On God, whom Faustus hath abjur'd? On God, whom Faustus hath blasphem'd? O my God, I would weepe, but the Devill drawes in my teares. Gush forth bloud in stead of teares, yea life and soule: Oh he staies my tongue: I would lift up my hands, but see they hold 'em, they hold 'em?
All.
Who Faustus?
Faust.
Why Lucifer and Mephostophilis, O Gentlemen,
