Faustus, this,[162] or what else thou shalt desire, Those[161] thoughts that do dissuade me from my vow, I do repent; and yet I do despair: FAUSTUS. Sweet Mephistophilis, entreat thy lord Lest greater danger do attend thy drift. That I might have unto my paramour FAUSTUS.

Thou traitor, Faustus, I arrest thy soul FAUSTUS. One thing, good servant,[160] let me crave of thee, My former vow I made to Lucifer. Revolt, or I'll in piece-meal tear thy flesh. Whose sweet embracings may extinguish clean Hell strives with grace for conquest in my breast: And with my blood again I will confirm And keep mine oath I made to Lucifer. With greatest torments that our hell affords. FAUSTUS. Accursed Faustus, where is mercy now? I will attempt, which is but little worth. To pardon my unjust presumption, What shall I do to shun the snares of death? MEPHIST. Do it, then, quickly,[159] with unfeigned heart,
