History
The history of the damnable life and deserved death of Doctor John Faustus, 1592, together with The second report of Faustus, containing his appearances and the deeds of Wagner, 1594.
Faust, -approximately 1540 -- Legends
Copy than is here necessary to be recapitulated. Wagner’s heart leaping
at this sight looked about him, as if he would have nobody privy to
himself but himself, and so it was indeed, for Faustus, Mephostophiles,
and Akercocke were gone, and thereupon with a boon courage advancing
himself upon his toes, and weeding himself in the best German fashion,
as he could very well, began to travel unto her, but remembering his
bad apparel stepped back and blushed, and hid his face, but suddenly
returning again as if he had known now how rather to become his weeds,
began to fewter[60] himself, but, O wonder, his habit was changed with
his thought, and he was now no more Wagner but Armisuerio the Lady’s
Lord. And to be short this new Armisuerio and old Wagner met with the
Lady, and saluting her in the best kind of _Bon noche_,[61] used her
as he would do his Lady, and she him as her Lord. So passing over their
weary night in such pleasure as I could find in my heart to enjoy, or
any Man (unless an Eunuch beside).
