| | Scene X. Marlowe, Christopher. 1909-14. Doctor Faustus. The Harvard Classics |
 | | Master Doctor Faustus, I have heard strange report of thy knowledge in the fl art, how that none in my empire nor in the whole world can compare with thee for the rare effects of magic; they say thou hast a familiar spirit, by whom thou canst accomplish what thou list. |
 | | This therefore is my request, that thou let me see some proof of thy skill, that mine eyes may be witnesses to confirm what mine ears have heard reported; and here I swear to thee by the honour of mine imperial crown, that, whatever thou doest, thou shalt be no ways prejudiced or endamaged. |
 | | My gracious lord, not so much for the injury he offred 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. |
