Dukeof Vanholt
Thanks Master Doctor, for these pleasant sights.
Nor know I how sufficiently to recompense your great de-
serts in erecting that enchanted castle in the air, the
sight whereof so delighted me,
as nothing in the world could please me more.
Duke of Vanholt
This makes me wonder more than all the rest, that
at this time of the year, when every tree is barren of his
fruit, from whence you had these ripe grapes.
Duke of Vanholt
What rude disturbers have we at the gate ?
Go, pacify their fury. Set it ope,
And then demand of them what they would have.
Duke of Vanholt
What would they have?
Duke of Vanholt
Will you, sir? Commit the rascals.
Duke of Vanholt
Do as thou wilt, Faustus. I give thee leave.
Duke of Vanholt
With all my heart, kind Doctor, please thyself,
Our servants, and our courts at thy command.
All
O horrible! Had the Doctor three legs?
Duke of Vanholt
So are we madam, which we will recompense
With all the love and kindness that we may.
His artful sport drives all sad thoughts away.
Exeunt.
