Cut is the branch that might haue growne ful straight, And burned is Apolloes Laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man: 1480 Faustus is gone, regard his hellish fall, Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise, Whose deepenesse doth intise such forward wits, To practise more than heauenly power permits. 1485 1470 O om. 1616-63 1471 S.D. om. 1616-63 1472 little] small 1616-63 1474 My God, my God] O mercy heauen 1616-63 1474 S.D.

O disgrace to my person: Zounds boy in your face, you haue seene many boyes with beards, I am sure. Wag. Sirra, hast thou no commings in? Clow. Yes, and goings out too, you may see sir. 355 Wag. Alas poore slaue, see how pouerty iests in his nakednesse, I know the Villaines out of seruice, and so hungry, that I know he would giue his soule to the deuill for a shoulder of Mutton, tho it were bloud raw. Clo. Not so neither; I had need to haue it well rosted, and good sauce to it, if I pay so deere, I can tell you. 361 Wag. Sirra, wilt thou be my man and waite on me? and I will make thee go, like Qui mihi discipulus. Clow. What, in Verse? Wag. No slaue, in beaten silke, and staues-aker. 365 Clow. Staues-aker? that's good to kill Vermine: then, belike if I serue you, I shall be lousy. Wag. Why so thou shalt be, whether thou dost it or no : for sirra, if thou dost not presently bind thy selfe to me for seuen yeares, I'le turne all the lice about thee into Familiars, and make them tare thee in peeces. 371 Clow. Nay sir, you may saue your selfe a labour, for they are as familiar with me, as if they payd for their meate and drinke, I can tell you. Wag. Well sirra, leaue your iesting, and take these Guilders.

Well sir, I warrant you. 397 Exeunt. After line 791, Qq 1616–63 insert the following scene not found in Qq 1604-11: Enter the Clowne. (Clown.) What Dick, looke to the horses there till I come againe. I haue gotten one of Doctor Faustus coniuring bookes, and now we'le haue such knauery, as't passes. Enter Dick. Dick. What Robin, you must come away & walk the horses. 796 Rob. I walke the horses?

'Snayles, what hast thou got there, a book? why thou canst not tell ne're a word on't. 802 Rob. That thou shalt see presently: keep out of the circle, I say, least I send you into the Ostry with a vengeance. Dick. That's like 'faith: you had best leaue your foolery, for an my Maister come, he'le coniure you 'faith. 806 Rob. My Maister coniure me? I'le tell thee what, an my Maister come here, I'le clap as faire a paire of hornes on's head as e're thou sawest in thy life. 386 devils Dyce, Cunn. 387+S.D. Exeunt Devils add.

A plague take you, I thought you did not sneake vp and downe after her for nothing. But I prethee tell me, in good sadnesse Robin, is that a coniuring booke? 816 Rob. Do but speake what thou't haue me to do, and I'le do't: If thou't dance naked, put off thy cloathes, and I'le coniure thee about presently: Or if thou't go but to the Tauerne with me, I'le giue thee white wine, red wine, claret wine Sacke, Muskadine, Malmesey and Whippincrust, hold belly hold, and wee'le not pay one peny for it. 822 Dick. O braue, prethee let's to it presently, for I am as dry as a dog. Rob. Come then let's away. Exeunt. Immediately after the last line above (825), Qq 1616-63 print the following expanded version of the Chorus's (or Wagner's) speech. For the briefer form in which the speech occurs in Qq 1604-11 and, by mistake, at an earlier point in Qq 1616-63, cf. p. 172. Enter the Chorus. (Chorus.) Learned Faustus to find the secrets of Astronomy, Grauen in the booke of Ioues high firmament, 827 Did mount him vp to scale Olimpus top. Where sitting in a Chariot burning bright, Drawne by the strength of yoked Dragons neckes; 830 He viewes the cloudes, the Planets, and the Starres, The Tropick Zones, and quarters of the skye, From the bright circle of the horned Moone, And whirling round with this circumference, 835 From East to West his Dragons swiftly glide, And in eight daies did bring him home againe. Not long he stayed within his quiet house, To rest his bones after his weary toyle, 840 But new exploits do hale him out agen, And mounted then vpon a Dragons backe, That with his wings did part the subtle aire: He now is gone to proue Cosmography, That measures costs, and kingdomes of the earth: 845 810 needs 1631-63 that] it 1663 prethee 1619-63 825 let's 1616: let vs 828 him om. 1631, 1663 To view 1620-63 om. 1631, 1663 823 prethee 1616: I 1619-63 S.D. the vp om. 1663 831 835 this] his 1624 To see the Pope and manner of his Court, Exit.
