You must be proud, bold, pleasant, resolute, And now and then stab, as occasion serves.
Christopher Marlowe... when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that are not heaven.
Christopher MarloweFAUSTUS. Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistophilis. By him I'll be great emperor of the world, And make a bridge thorough the moving air, To pass the ocean with a band of men; I'll join the hills that bind the Afric shore, And make that country continent to Spain, And both contributory to my crown: The Emperor shall not live but by my leave, Nor any potentate of Germany. Now that I have obtain'd what I desir'd, I'll live in speculation of this art, Till Mephistophilis return again.
