globe； As is the substance of this centric earth？
MEPHIST。 As are the elements； such are the heavens； Even from the
moon unto th' empyreal orb； Mutually folded in each other's spheres； And
jointly move upon one axletree； Whose termine is term'd the world's
wide pole； Nor are the names of Saturn； Mars； or Jupiter Feign'd； but are
erring stars。
FAUSTUS。 But have they all one motion； both situ et tempore？
MEPHIST。 All move from east to west in four…and…twenty hours upon
the poles of the world； but differ in their motions upon the poles of the
zodiac。
FAUSTUS。 These slender questions Wagner can decide： Hath

Mephistophilis no greater skill？ Who knows not the double motion of
the planets？ That the first is finish'd in a natural day； The second thus；
Saturn in thirty years； Jupiter in twelve； Mars in four； the Sun； Venus； and
Mercury in a year； the Moon in twenty…eight days。 These are freshmen's
questions。 But tell me； hath every sphere a dominion or intelligentia？
MEPHIST。 Ay。
FAUSTUS。 How many heavens or spheres are there？
MEPHIST。 Nine； the seven planets； the firmament； and the empyreal
heaven。
FAUSTUS。 But is there not coelum igneum et crystallinum？
MEPHIST。 No； Faustus； they be but fables。
FAUSTUS。 Resolve me； then； in this one question； why are not
conjunctions； oppositions； aspects； eclipses； all at one time； but in some
years we have more； in some less？
MEPHIST。 Per inoequalem motum respectu totius。
FAUSTUS。 Well； I am answered。 Now tell me who made the world？
MEPHIST。 I will not。
FAUSTUS。 Sweet Mephistophilis； tell me。
MEPHIST。 Move me not； Faustus。
FAUSTUS。 Villain； have I not bound thee to tell me any thing？
MEPHIST。 Ay； that is not against our kingdom； this is。 Thou art
damned； think thou of hell。
FAUSTUS。 Think； Faustus； upon God that made the world。
MEPHIST。 Remember this。 ＇Exit。＇
FAUSTUS。 Ay； go； accursed spirit； to ugly hell！ 'Tis thou hast damn'd
distressed Faustus' soul。 Is't not too late？
Re…enter GOOD ANGEL and EVIL ANGEL。
EVIL ANGEL。 Too late。
GOOD ANGEL。 Never too late； if Faustus will repent。
EVIL ANGEL。 If thou repent； devils will tear thee in pieces。
GOOD ANGEL。 Repent； and they shall never raze thy skin。 ＇Exeunt
ANGELS。＇
FAUSTUS。 O Christ； my Saviour； my Saviour Help to save distressed
Faustus' soul！

Enter LUCIFER； BELZEBUB； and MEPHISTOPHILIS。
LUCIFER。 Christ cannot save thy soul； for he is just： There's none but
I have interest in the same。
FAUSTUS。 O； what art thou that look'st so terribly？
LUCIFER。 I am Lucifer； And this is my companion…prince in hell。
FAUSTUS。 O Faustus； they are come to fetch thy soul！
BELZEBUB。 We are come to tell thee thou dost injure us。
LUCIFER。 Thou call'st of Christ； contrary to thy promise。
BELZEBUB。 Thou shouldst not think on God。
LUCIFER。 Think of the devil。
BELZEBUB。 And his dam too。
FAUSTUS。 Nor will Faustus henceforth： pardon him for this； And
Faustus vows never to look to heaven。
LUCIFER。 So shalt thou shew thyself an obedient servant； And we
will highly gratify thee for it。
BELZEBUB。 Faustus； we are come from hell in person to shew thee
some pastime： sit down； and thou shalt behold the Seven Deadly Sins
appear to thee in their own proper shapes and likeness。
FAUSTUS。 That sight will be as pleasant unto me； As Paradise was to
Adam the first day Of his creation。
LUCIFER。 Talk not of Paradise or creation； but mark the show。 Go；
Mephistophilis； and fetch them in。
MEPHISTOPHILIS brings in the SEVEN DEADLY SINS。
BELZEBUB。 Now； Faustus； question them of their names and
dispositions。
FAUSTUS。 That shall I soon。What art thou； the first？
PRIDE。 I am Pride。 I disdain to have any parents。 I am like to
Ovid's flea； I can creep into every corner of a wench； sometimes； like a
perriwig； I sit upon her brow； next； like a necklace； I hang about her neck；
then； like a fan of feathers； I kiss her lips； and then； turning myself to
a wrought smock； do what I list。 But； fie； what a smell is here！ I'll not
speak a word more for a king's ransom； unless the ground be perfumed；
and covered with cloth of arras。
FAUSTUS。 Thou art a proud knave； indeed。What art thou； the

second？
COVETOUSNESS。 I am Covetousness； begotten of an old churl； in a
leather bag： and； might I now obtain my wish； this house； you； and all；
should turn to gold； that I might lock you safe into my chest： O my
sweet gold！
FAUSTUS。 And what art thou； the third？
ENVY。 I am Envy； begotten of a chimney…sweeper and an oyster…wife。
I cannot read； and therefore wish all books burned。 I am lean with seeing
others eat。 O； that there would come a famine over all the world； that all
might die； and I live alone！ then thou shouldst see how fat I'd be。 But
must thou sit； and I stand？ come down； with a vengeance！
FAUSTUS。 Out； envious wretch！But what art thou； the fourth？
WRATH。 I am Wrath。 I had neither father nor mother： I leapt out
of a lion's mouth when I was scarce an hour old； and ever since have
run up and down the world with this case of rapiers； wounding
myself when I could get none to fight withal。 I was born in hell； and look
to it； for some of you shall be my father。
FAUSTUS。 And what art thou； the fifth？
GLUTTONY。 I am Gluttony。 My parents are all dead； and the devil a
penny they have left me； but a small pension； and that buys me thirty
meals a…day and ten bevers；a small trifle to suffice nature。 I come
of a royal pedigree： my father was a Gammon of Bacon； my mother was
a Hogshead of Claret…wine； my godfathers were these； Peter Pickled…
herring and Martin Martlemas…beef； but my godmother； O； she was an
ancient gentlewoman； her name was Margery March…beer。 Now； Faustus；
thou hast heard all my progeny； wilt thou bid me to supper？
FAUSTUS。 Not I。
GLUTTONY。 Then the devil choke thee！
FAUSTUS。 Choke thyself； glutton！What art thou； the sixth？
SLOTH。 Heigho！ I am Sloth。 I was begotten on a sunny bank。
Heigho！ I'll not speak a word more for a king's ransom。
FAUSTUS。 And what are you； Mistress Minx； the seventh and last？
LECHERY。 Who； I； sir？ I am one that loves an inch of raw
mutton better than an ell of fried stock…fish； and the first letter of my name

begins with L。
LUCIFER。 Away to hell； away！ On； piper！ ＇Exeunt the SINS。＇
FAUSTUS。 O； how this sight doth delight my soul！
LUCIFER。 Tut； Faustus； in hell is all manner of delight。
FAUSTUS。 O； might I see hell； and return again safe； How happy were
I then！
LUCIFER。 Faustus； thou shalt； at midnight I will send for thee。
Meanwhile peruse this book and view it throughly； And thou shalt turn
thyself into what shape thou wilt。
FAUSTUS。 Thanks； mighty Lucifer！ This will I keep as chary as my
life。
LUCIFER。 Now； Faustus； farewell。
FAUSTUS。 Farewell； great Lucifer。 ＇Exeunt LUCIFER and
BELZEBUB。＇
Come； Mephistophilis。 ＇Exeunt。＇
Enter ROBIN； with a book。
ROBIN。 What； Dick！ look to the horses there； till I come again。 I have
gotten one of Doctor Faustus' conjuring…books； and now we'll have such
knavery as't passes。
Enter DICK。
DICK。 What； Robin！ you must come away and
