i'faith that's just nothing at all. But if it like your Grace, it is not in my ability to present before your eyes, the true substantial bodies of those two deceased princes which long since are consumed to dust. I mary master doctor, now there's a sign of grace in you, when you will confess the truth. But such spirits as can lively resemble Alexander and his Paramour, shall appear before your Grace, in that manner that they best lived in, in their most flourishing estate, which I doubt not shall sufficiently content your Imperial majesty. Go to master Doctor, let me see them presently. Do you hear master Doctor? you bring Alexander and his paramour before the emperor? How then sir? i'faith that's as true as Diana turned me to a stag. No sir but when Actaeon died, he left the horns for you: Mephastophilis be gone. Nay, and you go to conjuring, I'll be gone. I'll meet with you anon for interrupting me so: here they are my gracious Lord. Master Doctor, I heard this Lady while she lived had a wart or mole in her neck, how shall I know whether it be so or no? Your highness may boldly go and see. Sure these are no spirits, but the true substantial bodies of those two deceased princes. wilt please your highness now to send for the knight that was so pleasant with me here of late? One of you call him forth. How now sir Knight? why I had thought thou hadst been a bachelor, but now I see thou hast a wife, that not only gives thee horns, but makes thee wear them, feel on thy head. Thou damned wretch, and execrable dog, Bred in the concave of some monstrous rock: How darest thou thus abuse a Gentleman? villain I say, undo what thou hast done. O not so fast sir, there's no haste but good, are you remembered how you crossed me in my conference with the emperor? I think I have met with you for it. Good Master Doctor, at my entreaty release him, he hath done penance sufficient. My gracious Lord, not so much for the injury he offered me here in your presence, as to delight you with some mirth, hath Faustus worthily requited this injurious knight, which being all I desire, I am content to release him of his horns: and sir knight, hereafter speak well of Scholars: Mephastophilis, transform him straight. Now my good Lord having done my duty, I humbly take my leave. Farewell master Doctor, yet ere you go, expect from me a bounteous reward. Now Mephastophilis, the restless course that time doth run with calm and silent foot, Shortening my days and thread of vital life, Calls for the payment of my latest years, Therefore sweet Mephastophilis, let us make haste to Wertenberg.
