The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus
Persons in the Play
Doctor Faustus
Wagner, his servant
Mephistophilis
Lucifer
The Emperor
Benvolio, Martino, Frederick, gentlemen of the emperor's court
Bruno
The Pope
Three Scholars, Cardinals, Lords, Devils, Phantoms, Good and Evil Angels, etc., Chorus. Act I
Scene I.—Faustus in his study, reading a volume on necromancy.
Faustus: All things that move between the quiet poles
Shall be at my command: emperors and kings
Are but obeyed in their several provinces;
But his dominion that excels in this
Stretches as far as does the mind of man.
A sound magician is a demi-god.
[Enter Good and Evil AngelS.
Good Angeclass="underline" O Faustus, lay that damned book aside
And gaze not on it, lest it tempt thy soul,
And heap God's heavy wrath upon thy head!
Read, read the Scriptures—that is blasphemy.
Evil Angeclass="underline" Go forward, Faustus, in that famous art
Wherein all nature's treasure is contained;
Be thou on earth as Jove is in the sky,
Lord and commander of these elements.
[Exeunt Angels.
Faustus: How am I glutted with conceit of this!
Faustus, begin thine incantations,
And try if devils will obey thy hest.
[Thunder. Faustus pronounces the incantation. Enter Mephistophilis.
Mephistophilis: Now, Faustus, what wouldst thou have me do?
Faustus: I charge thee, wait upon me while I live,
To do whatever Faustus shall command.
Mephistophilis: I am a servant to great Lucifer,
And may not follow thee without his leave.
Faustus: Tell me, what is that Lucifer, thy lord?
Mephistophilis: Arch-regent and commander of all spirits.
Faustus: Was not that Lucifer an angel once?
Mephistophilis: Yes, Faustus, and most dearly loved of God.
Faustus: How comes it, then, that he is prince of devils?
Mephistophilis: Oh, by aspiring pride and insolence,
For which God threw him out from the face of heaven.
Faustus: And what are you that live with Lucifer?
Mephistophilis: Unhappy spirits that fell with Lucifer,
Conspired against our God with Lucifer,
And are forever damned with Lucifer.
Faustus: Where are you damned?
Mephistophilis: In hell.
Faustus: How comes it, then, that you are out of hell?
Mephistophilis: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I, that saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?
Faustus: Go, bear these tidings to great Lucifer:
Seeing Faustus hath incurred eternal death
By desperate thoughts against God's deity,
Say he surrenders up to him his soul,
So he will spare him four-and-twenty years,
Having thee ever to attend on me.
Then meet me in my study at midnight,
And then resolve me of thy master's mind. [Exeunt.
Scene II.—The same. Midnight. Faustus. Enter Mephistophilis.
Faustus: Now tell me what saith Lucifer, thy lord?
Mephistophilis: That I shall wait on Faustus while he lives,
So he will buy my service with his soul,
And write a deed of gift with his own blood.
[Faustus stabs his own arm, and writes. At the summons of Mephistophilis enter Devils, who present Faustus with crowns and rich apparel. Exeunt Devils. Faustus reads the deed, by which Mephistophilis is to be at his service for twenty-four years, at the end of which Lucifer may claim his soul.
Mephistophilis: Now, Faustus, ask me what thou wilt.
Faustus: Tell me where is the place that men call hell?
Mephistophilis: Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed
In one self place; but where we are is hell,
And where hell is, there must we ever be;
And, to be short, when all the world dissolves,
And every creature shall be purified,
All places shall be hell that are not heaven.
Faustus: I think hell's a fable.
Mephistophilis: Aye, think so still, till experience change thy mind.
[Exit.
Faustus: If heaven was made for man, 'twas made for me.
I will renounce this magic and repent.
[Enter the Good and Evil Angels.
Good Angeclass="underline" Faustus, repent! Yet God will pity thee.
Evil Angeclass="underline" Thou art a spirit; God cannot pity thee.
Faustus: My heart is hardened; I cannot repent.
Evil Angeclass="underline" Too late.
Good Angeclass="underline" Never too late, if Faustus will repent.
[Exeunt Angels.
Faustus: O Christ, my Saviour, my Saviour,
Help to save distresséd Faustus' soul.
[Enter Lucifer.
Lucifer: Christ cannot save thy soul, for He is just;
Thou call'st on Christ, contrary to thy promise;
Thou shouldst not think on God; think on the Devil.
Faustus: Nor will Faustus henceforth; pardon him for this,
And Faustus vows never to look to Heaven. Act II
Scene I.—Rome. Enter Chorus.
Chorus: Learned Faustus,
To find the secrets of astronomy
Graven in the book of Jove's high firmament,
Did mount him up to scale Olympus' top;
Where, sitting in a chariot burning bright,
Drawn by the strength of yokéd dragons' necks,
He views the clouds, the planets, and the stars.
From east to west his dragons swiftly glide,
And in eight days did bring him home again.
Now, mounted new upon a dragon's back,
He, as I guess, will first arrive at Rome
To see the Pope and manner of his court,
And take some part of holy Peter's feast,
The which this day is highly solemnised.
[Exit. Enter Faustus and Mephistophilis.
