The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dr. Faustus (A Text)


Act: 2 Scene: 12
My gracious lord, I am glad it contents you so well.—But it may be, madam, you take no delight in this. I have heard that great-bellied women do long for some dainties or other: what is it, madam? tell me, and you shalt have it.
Alas, madam, that's nothing! Mephistophilis, begone. [JSxit MEPHISTOPHILIS.] Were it a greater thing than this, so it would content you, you should have it
Re-enter MEPHISTOPHILIS with grapes.
Here they be, madam; wilt please you taste on them?
If it like your grace, the year is divided into two circles over the whole world, that, when it is here winter with us, in the contrary circle it is summer with them, as in India, Saba, and farther countries in the East; and by means of a swift Spirit that I have I had them brought hither, as you see.—How do you like them, madam; be they good?
I am glad they content you so, madam.
I humbly thank your grace.
