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 walk the horses。
ROBIN。 I walk the horses！ I scorn't； faith： I have other
matters in hand： let the horses walk themselves； an they will。 ＇Reads。＇
A per se； a； t； h； e； the； o per se； o； Demy orgon gorgon。 Keep further
from me； O thou illiterate and unlearned hostler！
DICK。 'Snails； what hast thou got there？ a book！ why； thou canst not
tell ne'er a word on't。
ROBIN。 That thou shalt see presently： keep out of the circle； I say；
lest I send you into the ostry with a vengeance。
DICK。 That's like； faith！ you had best leave your foolery； for； an my
master come； he'll conjure you； faith。
ROBIN。 My master conjure me！ I'll tell thee what； an my master
come here； I'll clap as fair a pair of horns on's head as e'er thou
sawest in thy life。

DICK。 Thou need'st not do that； for my mistress hath done it。
ROBIN。 Ay； there be of us here that have waded as deep into matters
as other men； if they were disposed to talk。
DICK。 A plague take you！ I thought you did not sneak up and down
after her for nothing。 But； I prithee； tell me in good sadness； Robin； is
that a conjuring…book？
ROBIN。 Do but speak what thou'lt have me to do； and I'll do't： if
thou'lt dance naked； put off thy clothes； and I'll conjure thee about
presently； or； if thou'lt go but to the tavern with me； I'll give thee white
wine； red wine； claret…wine； sack； muscadine； malmsey； and whippincrust；
hold； belly； hold； and we'll not pay one penny for it。 DICK。 0； brave！
Prithee； let's to it presently； for I am as dry as a dog。
ROBIN。 Come； then； let's away。 ＇Exeunt。＇
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 yoked dragons' necks； He views the clouds； the planets；
and the stars； The tropic zones； and quarters of the sky； 》From the bright
circle of the horned moon Even to the height of Primum Mobile； And；
whirling round with this circumference； Within the concave compass
of the pole； 》From east to west his dragons swiftly glide； And in eight
days did bring him home again。 Not long he stay'd within his quiet house；
To rest his bones after his weary toil； But new exploits do hale him out
again： And； mounted then upon a dragon's back； That with his wings did
part the subtle air； He now is gone to prove cosmography； That measures
coasts and kingdoms of the earth； And； 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 solemniz'd。 ＇Exit。＇
Enter FAUSTUS and MEPHISTOPHILIS。
FAUSTUS。 Having now； my good Mephistophilis； Pass'd with delight
the stately town of Trier； Environ'd round with airy mountain…tops；
With walls of flint； and deep…entrenched lakes； Not to be won by any
conquering prince； 》From Paris next； coasting the realm of France； We

saw the river Maine fall into Rhine； Whose banks are set with groves
of fruitful vines； Then up to Naples； rich Campania； Whose
buildings fair and gorgeous to the eye； The streets straight forth； and pav'd
with finest brick； Quarter the town in four equivalents： There saw
we learned Maro's golden tomb； The way he cut； an English mile in length；
Thorough a rock of stone； in one night's space； 》From thence to
Venice； Padua； and the rest； In one of which a sumptuous temple
stands； That threats the stars with her aspiring top； Whose frame is pav'd
with sundry…colour'd stones； And roof'd aloft with curious work in gold。
Thus hitherto hath Faustus spent his time： But tell me now； what
resting…place is this？ Hast thou； as erst I did command； Conducted me
within the walls of Rome？
MEPHIST。 I have； my Faustus； and； for proof thereof； This is the
goodly palace of the Pope； And； 'cause we are no common guests； I choose
his privy…chamber for our use。
