     'The clock strikes the half…hour。'

O; half the hour is past! 'twill all be past anon。

O; if my soul must suffer for my sin;

Impose some end to my incessant pain;

Let Faustus live in hell a thousand years;

A hundred thousand; and at last be sav'd!

No end is limited to damned souls。

Why wert thou not a creature wanting soul?

Or why is this immortal that thou hast?

O; Pythagoras' metempsychosis; were that true;

This soul should fly from me; and I be chang'd

Into some brutish beast! all beasts are happy;

For; when they die;

Their souls are soon dissolv'd in elements;

But mine must live still to be plagu'd in hell。

Curs'd be the parents that engender'd me!

No; Faustus; curse thyself; curse Lucifer

That hath depriv'd thee of the joys of heaven。

     'The clock strikes twelve。'

It strikes; it strikes!  Now; body; turn to air;

Or Lucifer will bear thee quick to hell!

O soul; be chang'd into small water…drops;

And fall into the ocean; ne'er be found!



     Thunder。  Enter DEVILS。



O; mercy; heaven! look not so fierce on me!

Adders and serpents; let me breathe a while!

Ugly hell; gape not! come not; Lucifer!

I'll burn my books!O Mephistophilis!

     'Exeunt DEVILS with FAUSTUS。'



     Enter SCHOLARS。



FIRST SCHOLAR。 Come; gentlemen; let us go visit Faustus;

For such a dreadful night was never seen;

Since first the world's creation did begin;

Such fearful shrieks and cries were never heard:

Pray heaven the doctor have escap'd the danger。



SECOND SCHOLAR。

O; help us; heaven! see; here are Faustus' limbs;

All torn asunder by the hand of death!



THIRD SCHOLAR。

The devils whom Faustus serv'd have torn him thus;

For; twixt the hours of twelve and one; methought;

I heard him shriek and call aloud for help;

At which self time the house seem'd all on fire

With dreadful horror of these damned fiends。



SECOND SCHOLAR。 Well; gentlemen; though Faustus' end be such

As every Christian heart laments to think on;

Yet; for he was a scholar once admir'd

For wondrous knowledge in our German schools;

We'll give his mangled limbs due burial;

And all the students; cloth'd in mourning black;

Shall wait upon his heavy funeral。

     'Exeunt。'



     Enter CHORUS。



CHORUS。 Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight;

And burned is Apollo's laurel…bough;

That sometime grew within this learned man。

Faustus is gone:  regard his hellish fall;

Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise;

Only to wonder at unlawful things;

Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits

To practise more than heavenly power permits。

     'Exit。'
