Faustus quotes with link to The Tempest

“a world of profit and delight, of	power, of honour, of omnipotence”
“Nor can they raise the	wind or rend the clouds”
“like lions… like Almanian Rutters … or	Lapland giants… Sometimes like women”
“therefore acknowledge your	error and be attentive”
Thunder. Enter Lucifer and	four Devils [above]
“Within this circle	is Jehovah’s name”
“the moon drop from her sphere or	the ocean to overwhelm the world”
To slay mine enemies	and aid my friends
“Go forward, Faustus,	in that famous art”
“I’ll fetch him somewhat	to delight his mind”
Crowns and rich	apparel to Faustus
“Fourthly that he shall be in	his chamber or house invisible”
“I will renounce this	magic and repent”
“Nay stay,	my Faustus”
“My four and twenty	years of liberty”
“My gentle	Mephostophilis”
“Then in this show	let me an actor be”
Without election and	a true consent
“Is not all power on	Earth bestow’d on us?”
“the banquet is	brought in”
“I have been such an ass all this while to	stand gaping after the Devil’s governor”
“These are but	shadows, not substantial”
“hurl him in some	lake of mud and dirt”
“amongst the prickling	thorns and sharpest briers”
“and glutted now with	learning’s golden gifts”
“Which he prefers	above his chiefest bliss”
