La tragica storia del Dottor Faust
“Voi stelle che regnaste alla mia nascita, La cui influenza ha disposto la morte e l'inferno.”
You stars that reign'd at my nativity, Whose influence hath allotted death and hell.
La tragica storia del Dottor Faust
'Faustus: "O lente, lente currite, noctis equi!"<br ></ref> The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
The devil will come, and Faustus must be damn'd.
O, I'll leap up to my God! — Who pulls me down? —
See, see, where Christ's blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul, half a drop: ah, my Christ! —
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!
Yet will I call on him: O, spare me, Lucifer! —
Where is it now? 'tis gone: and see, where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!
