How have I been delighted by thy Art; and in Twelve Years have seen the utmost Limits of the spacious World; feasted my self with all Varieties; pleasur'd my Fancy with my Magick Art, and liv'd sole Lord o'er every Thing I wish'd for. (Meph: Ay, Faustus, is it not a splendid Life?) It is my Spirit; but prithee now retire, while I repose my self within this Shade, and when I wake attend on me again. (Meph: Faust, I will.) What art thou, Faustus, but a Man condemn'd. Thy Lease of Years expire apace; and, Faustus, then thou must be Lucifers: Here rest my Soul, and in my Sleep my future State be buried.
