The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dr. Faustus (A Text)


Act: 2 Scene: 15
AccursÈD Faustus, miserable man,
That from thy soul exclud'st the Grace of Heaven,
And fly'st the throne of his tribunal seat!
Enter Devils.
Satan begins to sift me with his pride:
As in this furnace God shalt try my faith,
My faith, vile Hell, shalt triumph over thee.
Ambitious fiends! see how the heavens smile
At your repulse, and laugh your state to scorn!
Hence, Hell! for hence I fly unto my God.
[Exeunt on one side Devils—on the other, Old Man.
