Robin, Earl of Huntingdon, Lies underneath this marble stone; No archer ever was so good-- His name it was bold ROBIN HOOD. Full thirty years, and something more, These northern parts he vexed sore. Such outlaws as he, in any reign, May England never see again. * * * * * HISTORY OF DR. FAUSTUS SHOWING His wicked Life and horrid Death, and how he sold himself to the Devil, to have power for twenty-four years to do what he pleased, also many strange things done by him with the assistance of MEPHISTOPHELES. With an account how the Devil came for him at the end of twenty-four years, and tore him to pieces. CHAPTER I. _Dr. Faustus' birth and education, with an account of his falling from the Scriptures._ Dr. John Faustus was born in Germany. His father was a poor labouring man, not able to bring up his son John; but he had a brother in the same country, who was a very rich man, but had never a child, and took a great fancy to his cousin, and he resolved to make a scholar of him; and in order thereunto, put him to the Latin school, where he took his learning extraordinary well. Afterwards he put him to the University to study divinity; but Faustus could in no ways fancy that employment; wherefore he betook himself to the studying of that which his inclination is most for, viz., necromancy and conjuration, and in a little time few or none could outstrip him in the art. He also studied divinity, of which he was made Doctor; but within a short time fell into such deep fancies and cogitations that he resolved to throw the Scriptures from him, and betake himself wholly to the studying of necromancy and conjuration, charms and soothsaying, witchcraft, and the like.
