The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dr. Faustus (A Text)


Act: 2 Scene: 6
We are come to tell thee thou dost injure us.
“Luc. Thou call'st on Christ contrary to thy promise.
“Belz. Thou shouldst not think on God.
And his dam too.”
(The mention of the devil's “dam” must surely have been added by; the actor to provoke a laugh from the groundlings.) We come to tell thee thou dost injure us.
Thou talk'st of Christ contrary to thy promise;
Thou should'st not think of God: think of the Devil, And of his dam too.
