Peccatum peccatorum! 78 Here’s thy goblet, good vintner.
[Gives the goblet to VINTNER, who exit.]
ROBIN. 
Misericordia pro nobis! 79 What shall I do? Good Devil,
forgive me now, and I’ll never rob thy library more.
Re-enter MEPHISTOPHILIS
MEPH
Monarch of hell, under whose black survey
Great potentates do kneel with awful fear,
Upon whose altars thousand souls do lie,
How am I vexed with these villains’ charms?
From Constantinople am I hither come
Only for pleasure of these damned slaves.
78
“Sin of sins.”
79
“Mercy on us.”

How from Constantinople? You have had a great journey. Will
you take sixpence in your purse to pay for your supper, and
begone?
MEPH
Well, villains, for your presumption, I transform thee into an
ape, and thee into a dog; and so begone. 
Exit.
ROBIN.
How, into an ape? That’s brave! I’ll have fine sport with the
boys. I’ll get nuts and apples enow.
RALPH
And I must be a dog.
ROBIN.
I’faith thy head will never be out of the pottage pot.

SCENE X.
The Court of the Emperor.
Enter EMPEROR, FAUSTUS, and a KNIGHT with attendants
EMP
Master Doctor Faustus, I have heard strange report of thy
knowledge in the black 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.
