The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dr. Faustus (A Text)


Act: 2 Scene: 2
I wonder what's become of Faustus that was
wont to make our schools ring with sicprobo f
How now, sirrah! Where's thy master?
Go to, sirrah! leave your jesting, and tell us where he is.
Yes, sirrah, I heard you.
Nay, then, I fear he is fallen into that damned Art, for which they two are infamous through the world.
O, but I fear me nothing can reclaim him.

Act: 2 Scene: 14
Master Doctor Faustus, since our conference about fair ladies, which was the beautifullest in all the world, we have determined with ourselves that Helen of Greece was the admirablest lady that ever lived: therefore,
Master Doctor, if you will do us that favour, as to let us see that peerless dame of Greece, whom all the world admires for majesty, we should think ourselves much beholding unto you.
Since we have seen the pride of Nature's works,
And only paragon of excellence,
Let us depart; and for this glorious deed
Happy and blest be Faustus evermore.

Act: 2 Scene: 16
What ails Faustus?

God forbid!
Why did not Faustus tell us of this before, that divines might have prayed for thee?
Tempt not God, sweet friend; but let us into the next room, and there pray for him.
Faustus, farewell
