Lines 1238-84 are given thus in Qq 1616–63: Thunder and lightning: Enter deuils with couer'd dishes : Mephostophilis leades them into Faustus Study: Then enter Wagner. Wag. I think my Maister means to die shortly, he has made his will, & giuen me his wealth, his house, his goods, & store of golden plate; besides two thousand duckets ready coin'd: I wonder what he meanes, if death were nie, he would not frolick thus: hee's now at supper with the schollers, where ther's such belly-cheere, as Wagner in his life nere saw the like and see where they come, belike the feast is done. Exit. Enter Faustus, Mephostophilis, and two or three Schollers. I Schol. M. Doctor Faustus, since our conference about faire Ladies, which was the beautifullest in all the world, we haue determin'd with our selues, that Hellen of Greece was the admirablest Lady that euer liu'd: therefore M. Doctor, if you will doe vs so much fauour, as to let vs see that peerelesse dame of Greece, whom all the world admires for Maiesty, we should thinke our selues much beholding vnto you. 1251 Faust. Gentlemen, for ỳ I know your friendship is vnfain'd, It is not Faustus custome to deny The iust request of those that wish him well: You shall behold that peerelesse dame of Greece, No otherwise for pompe or Maiesty, Then when sir Paris crost the seas with her, 1255 Musicke sound, Mephosto brings in Hellen, she passeth ouer the stage. 2. Was this faire Hellen, whose admired worth I. Now we haue seene the pride of Natures worke, Enter an old Man. 1260 1265 Exeunt Schollers. Old Man. O gentle Faustus leaue this damned Art, This Magicke, that will charme thy soule to hell, And quite bereaue thee of saluation. 1270 Though thou hast now offended like a man, Doe not perseuer in it like a Diuell; Yet, yet, thou hast an amiable soule, If sin by custome grow not into nature: Then Faustus, will repentance come too late, 1275 Then thou art banisht from the sight of heauen; No mortall can expresse the paines of hell. It may be this my exhortation Seemes harsh, and all vnpleasant; let is not, 1280 For gentle sonne, I speake it not in wrath, And so haue hope, that this my kinde rebuke, 1281 ennv of 1616, 1619: of enuy to 1620-63 For the speech of the Old Man in Qq 1604-11 (11. 1348-56), Qq 1616-63 insert the following: Thunder. Enter Lucifer, Belzebub, and Mephostophilis. Lucif. Thus from infernall Dis do we ascend To view the subiects of our Monarchy, 1349 Those soules which sinne seales the blacke sonnes of hell, 'Mong which as chiefe, Faustus we come to thee, Bringing with vs lasting damnation, To wait vpon thy soule; the time is come Meph. And this gloomy night, Here in this roome will wretched Faustus be. Bels. And here wee'l stay, To marke him how he doth demeane himselfe. Meph. How should he, but in desperate lunacie. 1355 Fond worlding, now his heart bloud dries with griefe; 1360 His conscience kils it, and his labouring braine, Begets a world of idle fantasies, To ouer-reach the Diucll; but all in vaine, His store of pleasures must be sauc'd with paine. See where they come. Enter Faustus and Wagner. Faust. Say Wagner, thou hast perus'd my will, How dost thou like it? Wag. Sir, so wondrous well, As in all humble dutie, I do yeeld My life and lasting seruice for your loue. 1365 1370 Enter the scholers. Faust. Gramercies Wagner. Welcome gentlemen. 1. Now worthy Faustus: me thinks your looks are chang'd. Between lines 1418 and 1419 of Qq 1604-11, the later quartos add this passage: Meph. I Faustus, now thou hast no hope of heauen, Therefore despaire, thinke onely vpon hell; For that must be thy mansion, there to dwell. 1420 Faust. O thou bewitching fiend, 'twas thy temptation, Hath rob'd me of eternall happinesse. 1347+(Act V.) Scene IV. add. Rob., Cunn.

Enter the good Angell, and the bad Angell at seuerall doores. Good. Oh Faustus, if thou hadst giuen eare to me, 1431 Innumerable ioyes had followed thee. But thou didst loue the world. Bad. Gaue eare to me, And now must taste hels paines perpetually. Good. O what will all thy riches, pleasures, pompes, Auaile thee now? Bad. Nothing but vexe thee more, To want in hell, that had on earth such store. Musicke while the Throne descends. 1435 Good. O thou hast lost celestiall happinesse, Pleasures vnspeakeable, blisse without end. Hadst thou affected sweet diuinitie, 1440 Hell, or the Diuell, had had no power on thee. Hadst thou kept on that way, Faustus behold, In what resplendant glory thou hadst set 1445 In yonder throne, like those bright shining Saints, And triumpht ouer hell: that hast thou lost, And now poore soule must thy good Angell leaue thee, The iawes of hell are open to receiue thee. Exit. Hell is discouered. Bad. Now Faustus let thine eyes with horror stare Into that vaste perpetuall torture-house. 1450 There are the Furies tossing damned soules, On burning forkes: their bodies broyle in lead. 1455 There are liue quarters broyling on the coles, 1430 must 1619-63: most 1616 5.D. follows 1444 Dyce, Cunn. 1430 S.D. bad Angell 1616: 1439 S.D. the om. 1663 1441 blisse. . end om. 1663 1663 1445 hadst] had 1443 had had no power] had no dower 1449 are open 1616, 1619: is ready 1620-63 1453 broyle 1616, 1619, Brey. boyle 1620-63, Rob., Dyce, Cunn. 1458 and 1616: that And laught to see the poore starue at their gates: 1460 Faust.

Then wilt thou tumble in confusion. The Clock strikes eleuen. Between 1. 1477 and the Chorus, Qq 1616-63 insert the following new scene: Enter the Schollers. 1. Come Gentlemen, let vs go visit Faustus, For such a dreadfull night, was neuer seene, Since first the worlds creation did begin. Such fearefull shrikes, and cries, were neuer heard, 2. O help vs heauen, see, here are Faustus limbs, All torne asunder by the hand of death. 1480 3. The deuils whom Faustus seru'd haue torne him thus: 2.
