of Doctor Faustus

Vint.
A plague take you, I thought 'twas your knavery to take it away: Come, give it me againe.

Rob.
I much, when can you tell: Dicke make me a circle, and stand close at my backe, and stirre not for thy life, Vintner you shall have your cup anon, say nothing Dicke. O perse O, Demigorgon, Belcher and Mephostophilis.

Enter Mephostophilis.


Meph.
You Princely Legions of Infernall Rule,
How am I vexed by these villaines Charmes?
From Constantinople have they brought me now,
Onely for pleasure of these damned slaves.

Rob.
By Lady sir, you have had a shrewd journey of it, will it please you to take a shoulder of Mutton to supper, and a Tester in your purse, and goe backe againe.

Dicke.
I, I pray you heartily sir; for we cald you but in jest I promise you.

Meph.
To purge the rashnesse of this cursed deed,
First, be thou turned to this ugly shape,
For apish deeds transformed to an Ape.

Rob.
O brave, an ape? I pray sir let me have the carrying of him about to shew some trickes.

Meph.
And so thou shalt: be thou transform'd to a Dogge,
And carry him upon thy backe, away, be gone.

Rob.
A dog? thats excellent: let the maids looke well to their Poridge-pots, for I'le into the Kitchen presently: come Dicke, come. Exeunt the two Clownes.

Meph.
Now with the flames of ever-burning fire,
I'le wing my selfe and forth-with flie amaine
Unto my Faustus to the great Turkes Court. Exit.

Enter Martino and Fredericke at severall doores.


Mart.
What ho, Officers, Gentlemen,
Hie to the presence to attend the Emperour,
Good Fredericke see the roomes be voyded straight,
