The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus

  • prozachas quoted7 years ago
    Nothing so sweet as magic is to him
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    That Faustus may repent and save his soul!
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    Ah, Faustus,
    Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
    And then thou must be damn'd perpetually!
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    Nay, an this be hell, I'll willingly be damn'd here:
    What! walking, disputing, &c.94 But, leaving off this, let me have a wife,95 The fairest maid in Germany;
    For I am wanton and lascivious,
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,
    And burned is Apollo's laurel-bough,
    That sometime grew within this learned man.
    Faustus is gone: regard his hellish fall,
    Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise,
    Only to wonder at unlawful things,
    Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits
    To practice more than heavenly power permits.
    [Exit.]

    Terminat hora diem; terminat auctor opus.
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    all beasts are happy,
    For, when they die,
    Their souls are soon dissolv'd in elements;
    But mine must live still to be plagu'd in hell.
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
    The devil will come, and Faustus must be damn'd.
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    for
    vain pleasure of twenty-four years hath Faustus lost eternal joy
    and felicity. I writ them a bill with mine own blood: the date
    is expired; the time will come, and he will fetch me.
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    But Faustus' offence can ne'er be pardoned: the serpent
    that tempted Eve may be saved, but not Faustus
  • Carla del Solhas quotedlast year
    but now I die eternally.
