  1. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    CHORUS: Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,
       And burnèd is Apollo’s laurel bough,
       That sometime grew within this learnèd 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.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Epilogue (1594; 1604 “A” text)

  3. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    FAUSTUS: No, Faustus, curse thyself, curse Lucifer,
       That hath deprived thee of the joys of heaven.
          (The clock striketh twelve.)
       O, it strikes, it strikes! Now, body, turn to air,
       Or Lucifer will bear thee quick to hell.
          (Thunder and lightning.)
       O soul, be changed into little water drops,
       And fall into the ocean, ne’er be found!
       My God, my God, look not so fierce on me!
          (Enter Devils.)
       Adders, and serpents, let me breathe a while!
       Ugly hell, gape not. Come not Lucifer!
       I’ll burn my books! Ah, Mephistophilis!
          (Exeunt Devils with Faustus.)

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet

  12. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    FAUSTUS: Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships,
       And burnt the topless towers of Ilium —
       Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. —
          [They kiss]
       Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies! —
       Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
          [They kiss again]
       Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips,
       And all is dross that is not Helena.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 5, sc. 1 (sc. 13), l. 1358ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)

    FAUSTUS: Where are you damn’d?
    MEPHISTOPHILIS: In hell.
    FAUSTUS: How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
    MEPHISTOPHILIS: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it
       Think’st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
       And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
       Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,

  17. A quotation from Kit Marlowe

    FAUSTUS: I see there’s virtue in my heavenly words:
       Who would not be proficient in this art?
       How pliant is this Mephistophilis,
       Full of obedience and humility!
       Such is the force of magic and my spells:
       No, Faustus, thou art conjuror laureat,
       That canst command great Mephistophilis:
       Quin regis Mephistophilis fratris imagine.

  18. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    Philosophy is odious and obscure;
    Both law and physic are for petty wits;
    Divinity is basest of the three,
    Unpleasant, harsh, contemptible, and vile:
    ‘Tis magic, magic, that hath ravish’d me.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 1, sc. 1 (sc. 1), l. 138ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)
