    EPIGRAPH: I fain would go, yet beauty calls me back. To leave her so and not once say farewell were to transgress against all laws of love, But if I use such ceremonious thanks As parting friends accustom on the shore, Her silver arms will coil round about And tears of peal cry, 'Stay, Aeneas, stay.' Each word she says will then contain a crown, And every speech be ended with a kiss. I may not 'dure this female drudgery. To sea, Aeneas! FInd out Italy!

A sound magician is a mighty god.

    EPIGRAPH: Faust. First I will question thee about hell. Tell me, where is the place that men call hell? Meph. Under the heavens. Faust. Ay, but whereabout? Meph. Within the bowels of these elements, Where we are tortur’d and remain for ever: Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib’d In one self place; for where we are is hell, And where hell is, there must we ever be: And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that are not heaven. Faust. Come, I think hell’s a fable. Meph. Ay, think so still, till experience change thy mind.
