Text Box: Faust. Gentlemen, farewell. If I live 'til morning, I'll visit you. If not, Faustus is gone to hell. All. Faustus, farewell. Exeunt Scholars. Meph. Aye Faustus, now thou hast no hope of heaven, Therefore despair; think only upon hell, For that must be thy mansion there to dwell. Faust. O, thou bewitching fiend, 'twas thy temptation Hath robbed me of eternal happiness. Meph. I do confess it Faustus, and rejoice Twas I that when thou were't i'the way to heaven, Damned up thy passage; when thou took'st the book, To view the scriptures, then I turned the leaves And led thine eye. What weep'st thou? 'Tis too late; despair. Farewell. Fools that will laugh on earth most weep in hell. Exit. Excerpts from the 1616 B-text of Doctor Faustus

Text Box: Enter Faustus and Wagner. Faust. Say, Wagner, thou hast perused my will; How dost thou like it? Wag. Sir, so wondrous well, As in all humble duty, I do yield My life and lasting service for your love. Enter the Scholars. Faust. Gramercies, Wagner. Welcome, gentlemen. 1. Now worthy Faustus, me thinks your looks are changed. Faust. Oh, gentlemen. [visit with scholars follows as in A-text sc.13]
 


Act 5 sc.2

Thunder. Enter Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Mephistophilis.

Lucif.  Thus from infernal Dis do we ascend
To view the subjects of our monarchy,
Those souls which sin seals the black sons of hell,
'Mong which as chief, Faustus, we come to thee,
Bringing with us lasting damnation,
To wait upon thy soul. The time is come
Which makes it forfeit.

Meph.  And this gloomy night,
Here in this room will wretched Faustus be.

Bels.  And here we'll stay,
To mark him how he doth demean himself.

Meph.  How should he, but in desperate lunacy?
Fond worldling, now his heart blood dries with grief;
His conscience kills it, and his labouring brain
Begets a world of idle fantasies
To overreach the devil, but all in vain.
His store of pleasures must be sauced with pain.
He and his servant Wagner are at hand.
Both come from drawing Faustus' latest will.
See where they come.
