The tragical history of

EMP
Good Master Doctor, at my entreaty release him; he hath done
penance sufficient.
FAUST
My gracious lord, not so much for the injury he off’red 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. Mephistophilis,

---

transform him straight.
 [MEPHISTOPHILIS removes the horns.] 
Now, my good lord, having done my duty I humbly take my leave.
EMP
Farewell, Master Doctor; yet, ere you go,
Expect from me a bounteous reward
[Exeunt.
SCENE XI.
A Green; afterwards the House of Faustus.
[Enter FAUSTUS and MEPHISTOPHILIS]
FAUST
Now, Mephistophilis, the restless course
That Time doth run with calm and silent foot,
Short’ning my days and thread of vital life,
Calls for the payment of my latest years;
Therefore, sweet Mephistophilis, let us
Make haste to Wittenberg.

MEPH
What, will you go on horseback or on foot?
FAUST
Nay, till I’m past this fair and pleasant green,
I’ll walk on foot.
Enter a HORSE-COURSER
HORSE-C
I have been all this day seeking one Master Fustian: mass,
see where he is! God save you, Master Doctor!
FAUST
What, horse-courser! You are well met.
HORSE-C
Do you hear, sir? I have brought you forty dollars for your horse.
FAUST
I cannot sell him so: if thou likest him for fifty take him.
HORSE-C
Alas, sir, I have no more.- I pray you speak for me.
MEPH
I pray you let him have him: he is an honest fellow, and he

---

has a great charge, neither wife nor child.
FAUST
Well, come, give me your money.
[HORSE-COURSER gives FAUSTUS the money.] 
My boy will deliver him to you. But I must tell you
one thing before you have him; ride him not into the water at any
hand.
