The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Dr. Faustus (B Text)

Act: 1 Scene: 2
2. Scholar
That shall we presently know, here comes his boy.
2. Scholar
Why dost not thou know then?
2. Scholar
Go to, sirrah; leave your jesting and tell us where he is.
2. Scholar
Then you will not tell us?
2. Scholar
Were he a stranger, not allayed to me,
The danger of his soul would make me mourn.
But come, let us go, and inform the Rector.
It may be his grave counsel may reclaim him.
2. Scholar
Yet let us see what we can do. Exeunt.
Act: 5 Scene: 1
2. Scholar
Was this fair Helen whose admired worth
Made Greece with ten years wars afflict poor Troy?
Act: 5 Scene: 2
2. Scholar
What ailsFaustus?
2. Scholar
Is all our pleasure turned to melancholy?
2. Scholar
If it be so, we'll have physicians, and Faustus shall be cured.
2. Scholar
Yet, Faustus, look up to heaven, and remember mercy is
infinite.
2. Scholar
Yet Faustus, call on God.
All
Who, Faustus?
All
O, God forbid.
2. Scholar
O what may we do to save Faustaus?
2. Scholar
Pray, thou, and we will pray that God may have mer-
cy upon thee.
All
Faustus, farewell. Exeunt Scholars.
Act: 5 Scene: 3
2. Scholar
O help us heaven! See, here are Faustus' limbs,
All torn asunder by the hand of death.
2. Scholar
Well, gentlemen, though Faustus' end be such
As every Christian heart laments to think on,
Yet for he was a scholar, once admired
For wondrous knowledge in our German schools,
We'll give his mangled limbs due burial.
And all the students clothed in mourning black
Shall wait upon his heavy funeral.
