Strana 17 - 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.
Strana 17 - from me, and I be changed Unto some brutish beast ! all beasts are happy, For, when they die. Their souls are soon dissolved in elements ; But mine must live, still to be plagued in hell. Curst be the parents that engendered me ! No, Faustus : curse thyself : curse Lucifer That hath deprived thee of the joys of

Now as I speak they fall, and yet with fear Open again. O wherefore sitt'st thou here ? Light. If you mistrust me, I'll begone, my lord. Light. He sleeps.
Strana 26 - ANSWER BY SIR WALTER RALEIGH. If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee, and be thy love.
