angel hover o'er thy head； And； with a vial full of precious grace； Offers to
pour the same into thy soul： Then call for mercy； and avoid despair。
FAUSTUS。 O friend； I feel Thy words to comfort my distressed soul！
Leave me a while to ponder on my sins。
OLD MAN。 Faustus； I leave thee； but with grief of heart； Fearing the
enemy of thy hapless soul。 ＇Exit。＇
FAUSTUS。 Accursed Faustus； wretch； what hast thou done？ I do
repent； and yet I do despair： Hell strives with grace for conquest in my
breast： What shall I do to shun the snares of death？
MEPHIST。 Thou traitor； Faustus； I arrest thy soul For disobedience to

my sovereign lord： Revolt； or I'll in piece…meal tear thy flesh。
FAUSTUS。 I do repent I e'er offended him。 Sweet Mephistophilis；
entreat thy lord To pardon my unjust presumption； And with my blood
again I will confirm The former vow I made to Lucifer。
MEPHIST。 Do it； then； Faustus； with unfeigned heart； Lest
greater dangers do attend thy drift。
FAUSTUS。 Torment； sweet friend； that base and aged man； That durst
dissuade me from thy Lucifer； With greatest torments that our hell
affords。
MEPHIST。 His faith is great； I cannot touch his soul； But what I may
afflict his body with I will attempt； which is but little worth。
FAUSTUS。 One thing； good servant； let me crave of thee； To glut the
longing of my heart's desire； That I may have unto my paramour That
heavenly Helen which I saw of late； Whose sweet embraces may
extinguish clean Those thoughts that do dissuade me from my vow；
And keep my oath I made to Lucifer。
MEPHIST。 This； or what else my Faustus shall desire； Shall be
perform'd in twinkling of an eye。
Re…enter HELEN； passing over the stage between two CUPIDS。
FAUSTUS。 Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships； And burnt
the topless towers of Ilium？ Sweet Helen； make me immortal with a
kiss。 ＇Kisses her。＇ Her lips suck forth my soul： see； where it flies！
Come； Helen； come； give me my soul again。 Here will I dwell； for heaven
is in these lips； And all is dross that is not Helena。 I will be Paris； and for
love of thee； Instead of Troy； shall Wittenberg be sack'd； And I will
combat with weak Menelaus； And wear thy colours on my plumed crest；
Yea； I will wound Achilles in the heel； And then return to Helen for a kiss。
O； thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in the beauty of a
thousand stars； Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter When he appear'd to
hapless Semele； More lovely than the monarch of the sky In wanton
Arethusa's azur'd arms； And none but thou shalt be my
paramour！ ＇Exeunt。＇
Thunder。 Enter LUCIFER； BELZEBUB； and MEPHISTOPHILIS。
LUCIFER。 Thus from infernal Dis do we ascend To view the subjects

of our monarchy； Those souls which sin seals the black sons of hell； 'Mong
which； as chief； Faustus； we come to thee； Bringing with us lasting
damnation To wait upon thy soul： the time is come Which makes it forfeit。
MEPHIST。 And； this gloomy night； Here； in this room； will wretched
Faustus be。
BELZEBUB。 And here we'll stay； To mark him how he doth demean
himself。
MEPHIST。 How should he but in desperate lunacy？ Fond worldling；
now his heart…blood dries with grief； His conscience kills it； and his
labouring brain Begets a world of idle fantasies To over…reach the devil；
but all in vain； His store of pleasures must be sauc'd with pain。 He and his
servant Wagner are at hand； Both come from drawing Faustus' latest will。
See； where they come！
Enter FAUSTUS and WAGNER。 FAUSTUS。 Say； Wagner；thou
hast perus
