of Doctor Faustus
Fau.
I. go accursed Spirit, to ugly hell:
Tis thou hast damn'd distressed Faustus soule. Ist not too late?
Enter the two Angels.
Bad.
Too late.
Good.
Never too late if Faustus will repent.
Bad.
If thou repent, Devills will teare thee in pieces.
Good.
Repent and they shall never rase thy skin. Ex. An.
Faust.
O Christ my Saviour, my Saviour,
Helpe to save distressed Faustus soule.
Enter Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Mephostophilis.
Luci.
Christ cannot save thy soule, for he is just,
Ther's none but I have interest in the same.
Faust.
O what art thou that lookst so terribly?
Luci.
I am Lucifer, and this is my companion prince in hell.
Faust.
O Faustus, they are come to fetch thy soule.
Belz.
We are come to tell thee thou dost injure us.
Luci.
Thou calst on Christ contrary to thy promise.
Belz.
Thou shouldst not thinke on God.
Luci.
Thinke on the Devill.
Belz.
And his dam too.
Fau.
Nor will Faustus henceforth, pardon him for this,
And Faustus vowes never to looke to Heaven.
Lucif.
So shalt thou shew thy selfe an obedient servant,
And wee will highly gratifie thee for it.
Belz.
Faustus, wee are come from Hell in Person to shew thee some pastime: Sit downe and thou shalt behold the seaven deadly sinnes appeare to thee in their owne proper shapes and likenesse.
Fau.
That sight will be as pleasant to me, as Paradise was to Adam the first day of his Creation.
Lucif.
Talke not of Paradise or Creation, but marke the shew. Go Mephostophilis fetch them in.
Enter the seaven deadly Sinnes.
Belz.
Now Faustus, question them of their names and dispositions.
