Faustus is borne, his parents base of stocke,
In
Germany, within a towne calld Rhodes:
Of riper yeeres
to Wertenberg he went,
Till swolne with cunning of a
selfe conceit,
His waxen wings did mount aboue his reach,
And
melting heauens conspirde his ouerthrow.
For falling
to a diuelish exercise,
He surffets vpon cursed Necromancy,
Nothing
so sweete as magicke is to him
Which he preferres before
his chiefest blisse.

alter ego, Joel Derfner, blogs at www.joelderfner.com/blog.
