THE TRAGEDY OF DOCTOR FAUSTUS.
ENTER CHORUS.
CHORUS. NOT MARCHING IN THE FIELDS OF TRASIMENE
WHERE MARS DID MATE THE WARLIKE CARTHAGENS,
NOR SPORTING IN THE DALLIANCE OF LOVE
IN COURTS OF KINGS WHERE STATE IS OVERTURNED,
NOR IN THE POMP OF PROUD AUDACIOUS DEEDS
INTENDS OUR MUSE TO VAUNT HIS HEAVENLY VERSE.
ONLY THIS, GENTLES: WE MUST NOW PERFORM
THE FORM OF FAUSTUS' FORTUNES, GOOD OR BAD.
AND NOW TO PATIENT JUDGMENTS WE APPEAL,
AND SPEAK FOR FAUSTUS IN HIS INFANCY.
NOW IS HE BORN, OF PARENTS BASE OF STOCK,
IN GERMANY, WITHIN A TOWN CALLED RHODES.
AT RIPER YEARS TO WITTENBERG H . . .
