Here's nobody, if it like your Holiness.
Come, brethren, let's about our business with good devotion.
[They sing.
CursÈD be he that stole away his Holiness' meat from thetable! Maledicat Dominus!
CursÈD be he that struck his Holiness a blow on the face.! Maledicat Dominus!
CursÈD be he that tookFriar Sandelo a blow on the pate! Maledicat Dominus
CursÈD be he that dislurbeth our holy dirge! Maledicat Dominus!
CursÈD be he that took away his Holiness' wine! Maledicat Dominus! Et omnes sancti! Amen!
MEPHISTOPHILIS and FAUSTUS beat the Friars, and fling fireworks among them: and so exeunt.
Enter CHORUS.
