<l>This night I muſt expect my own confuſion:</l>
<l>And yet my loving friends I do requeſt</l>
<l>That you will go to bed and take your reſt;</l>
<l>Let nothing trouble you, nor do not fear</l>
<l>If any rumbling noiſe you chance to hear,</l>
<l>Be ſure you do not riſe out of your bed:</l>
<l>But when That I to <persName style="font-weight: normal;">Pluto's</persName> court am fled,</l>

<l>At laſt the Students having pray’d did weep,</l>
<l>And after went to bed, but could not ſleep:</l>
<l>For <persName style="font-weight: normal;">Fauſtus</persName> in the hall did ſtay alone, ( groan</l>
<l>Where they might hear how he did ſigh and</l>
<l>And ſo with wakefull eyes they did attend,</l>
<l>Expecting ſtill to hear his fearfull end:</l>
<l>At laſt between the hours of twelve & one,</l>
<l>A wind did riſe, the like was never known,</l>
<l>It was ſo violent : which when they once did</l>
<l>The Doct & students both began to fear. ( hear</l>
<l>For Doctor <persName style="font-weight: normal;">Fauſtus</persName> in the hall did lye,</l>
<l>When they might hear his fearfull tragedy:</l>
<l>For now the hall and upper rooms did ſhake;</l>
<l>And they did hear a hiſſing like a snake;</l>
<l>And then the hall door fiercely did flye open,</l>
<l>And <persName style="font-weight: normal;">Fauſtus</persName> further cry’d, which being ſpoken</l>
<l>They heard no more; ſo that yͤ scholars ſaid,</l>
<l>Now Doctor <persName style="font-weight: normal;">Fauſtus</persName> is to <placeName>hell</placeName> convey’d.</l>
<l>The next day, when they came into yͤ hall,</l>
<l>They might behold a fearfull funerail:</l>
<l>His blood & brains were ſprinkled on yͤ ground</l>
<l>And ſuch a ſight as might the ſight confound;</l>
<l>Here lay his teeth, and there his eyes did lye,</l>
<l>A ſpectacle of helliſh cruelty; ( mourn</l>
<l>Which when his friends beheld they all did</l>
<l>And found his body on the dunghill torn;</l>
<l>To which his friends did Christian burial give,</l>
<l>Although himself did like a Deuil liue,</l>
<l>Thus I this ſtory of his life have penn’d,</l>
<l>That we may ſee his life, and hate his end.</l>
