RAYMOND。 Saxon Bruno； stoop； Whilst on thy back his Holiness
ascends Saint Peter's chair and state pontifical。
BRUNO。 Proud Lucifer； that state belongs to me； But thus I fall to
Peter； not to thee。
POPE。 To me and Peter shalt thou grovelling lie； And crouch before

the Papal dignity。 Sound trumpets； then； for thus Saint Peter's heir；
》From Bruno's back； ascends Saint Peter's chair。 ＇A flourish while he
ascends。＇ Thus； as the gods creep on with feet of wool； Long ere with iron
hands they punish men； So shall our sleeping vengeance now arise； And
smite with death thy hated enterprise。 Lord Cardinals of France
and Padua； Go forthwith to our holy consistory； And read； amongst
the statutes decretal； What； by the holy council held at Trent； The sacred
synod hath decreed for him That doth assume the Papal government
Without election and a true consent： Away； and bring us word with speed。
CARDINAL OF FRANCE。 We go； my lord。 ＇Exeunt CARDINALS of
France and Padua。＇
POPE。 Lord Raymond。 ＇They converse in dumb show。＇
FAUSTUS。 Go； haste thee； gentle Mephistophilis； Follow the cardinals
to the consistory； And； as they turn their superstitious books； Strike them
with sloth and drowsy idleness； And make them sleep so sound； that in
their shapes Thyself and I may parley with this Pope； This proud
confronter of the Emperor； And； in despite of all his holiness； Restore this
Bruno to his liberty； And bear him to the states of Germany。
MEPHIST。 Faustus； I go。
FAUSTUS。 Despatch it soon： The Pope shall curse； that Faustus came
to Rome。 ＇Exeunt FAUSTUS and MEPHISTOPHILIS。＇
BRUNO。 Pope Adrian； let me have right of law： I was elected
by the Emperor。
POPE。 We will depose the Emperor for that deed； And curse the
people that submit to him： Both he and thou shall stand
excommunicate； And interdict from church's privilege And all society of
holy men。 He grows too proud in his authority； Lifting his lofty head
above the clouds； And； like a steeple； overpeers the church： But we'll pull
down his haughty insolence； And； as Pope Alexander； our progenitor； Trod
on the neck of German Frederick； Adding this golden sentence to our
praise； 〃That Peter's heirs should tread on Emperors； And walk upon the
dreadful adder's back； Treading the lion and the dragon down； And fearless
spurn the killing basilisk；〃 So will we quell that haughty schismatic； And；
by authority apostolical； Depose him from his regal government。

BRUNO。 Pope Julius swore to princely Sigismond； For him and the
succeeding Popes of Rome； To hold the Emperors their lawful lords。
POPE。 Pope Julius did abuse the church's rights； And therefore none of
his decrees can stand。 Is not all power on earth bestow'd on us？ And
therefore； though we would； we cannot err。 Behold this silver belt； whereto
is fix'd Seven golden seals； fast sealed with seven seals； In token of our
seven…fold power from heaven； To bind or loose； lock fast； condemn or
judge； Resign or seal； or what so pleaseth us： Then he and thou； and all the
world； shall stoop； Or be assured of our dreadful curse； To light as heavy
as the pains of hell。
Re…enter FAUSTUS and MEPHISTOPHILIS； in the shapes of the
CARDINALS of France and Padua。
MEPHIST。 Now tell me； Faustus； are we not fitted well？
FAUSTUS。 Yes； Mephistophilis； and two such cardinals Ne'er serv'd a
holy Pope as we shall do。 But； whilst they sleep within the consistory； Let
us salute his reverend fatherhood。
RAYMOND。 Behold； my lord； the Cardinals are return'd。
POPE。 Welcome； grave fathers： answer presently What hath our
holy council there decreed Concerning Bruno and the Emperor； In
quittance of their late conspiracy Against our state and papal dignity？
FAUSTUS。 Most sacred patron of the church of Rome； By full consent
of all the synod Of priests and prelates； it is thus decreed； That
Bruno and the German Emperor Be held as Lollards and bold schismatics；
And proud disturbers of the church's peace； And if that Bruno； by his own
assent； Without enforcement of the German peers； Did seek to wear the
triple diadem； And by your death to climb Saint Peter's chair； The statutes
decretal have thus decreed； He shall be straight condemn'd of heresy；
And on a pile of faggots burnt to death。
POPE。 It is enough。 Here； take him to your charge； And bear him
straight to Ponte Angelo； And in the strongest tower enclose him
fast。 To…morrow； sitting in our consistory； With all our college of grave
cardinals； We will determine of his life or death。 Here； take his
triple crown along with you； And leave it in the church's treasury。 Make
haste again； my good Lord Cardinals； And take our blessing apostolical。

MEPHIST。 So； so； was never devil thus bless'd before。
FAUSTUS。 Away； sweet Mephistophilis； be gone； The Cardinals will
be plagu'd for this anon。 ＇Exeunt FAUSTUS and MEPHISTOPHILIS with
BRUNO。＇
POPE。 Go presently and bring a banquet forth； That we may solemnize
Saint Peter's feast； And with Lord Raymond； King of Hungary； Drink to
our late and happy victory。
A Sennet while the banquet is brought in； and then enter
FAUSTUS and MEPHISTOPHILIS in their own shapes。
MEPHIST。 Now； Faustus； come； prepare thyself for mirth： The sleepy
Cardinals are hard at hand； To censure Bruno； that is posted hence； And on
a proud…pac'd steed； as swift as thought； Flies o'er the Alps to fruitful
Germany； There to salute the woful Emperor。
FAUSTUS。 The Pope will curse them for their sloth to…day； That slept
both Bruno and his crown away。 But now； that Faustus may delight his
mind； And by their folly make some merriment； Sweet Mephistophilis； so
charm me here； That I may walk invisible to all； And do whate'er I please；
unseen of any。
MEPHIST。 Faustus； thou shalt： then kneel down presently； Whilst on
thy head I lay my hand； And charm thee with this magic wand。 First； wear
this girdle； then appear Invisible to all are here： The planets seven； the
gloomy air； Hell； and the Furies' forked hair； Pluto's blue fire； and Hecat's
tree； With magic spells so compass thee； That no eye may thy body see！
So； Faustus； now； for all their holiness； Do what thou wilt； thou shalt not
be discern'd。
FAUSTUS。 Thanks； Mephistophilis。Now； friars； take heed； Lest
Faustus make your shaven crowns to bleed。
MEPHIST。 Faustus； no more： see； where the Cardinals come！
Re…enter the CARDINALS of France and Padua with a book。
POPE。 Welcome； Lord Cardinals； come； sit down。 Lord Raymond；
take your seat。Friars； attend； And see that all things be in readiness；
As best beseems this solemn festival。
CARDINAL OF FRANCE。 First； may it please your sacred Holiness
To view the sentence of the reverend synod Concerning Bruno and the

Emperor？
POPE。 What needs this question？ did I not tell you； To…morrow we
would sit i' the consistory； And there determine of his punishment？ You
brought us word even now； it was decreed That Bruno and the cursed
Emperor Were by the holy council both condemn'd For loathed Lollards
and base schismatics： Then wherefore would you have me view that book？
CARDINAL OF FRANCE。 Your grace mistakes； you gave us no such
charge。
