Christopher Marlowe Stars Quotations

Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles!

FAUSTUS. 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.

The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike

You stars that reigned at my nativity, whose influence hath allotted death and hell.

You stars that reigned at my nativity, / Whose influence hath allotted death and hell, / Now draw up Faustus, like a foggy mist, / Into the entrails of yon labouring cloud.

Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars
