The Tragical History Of Doctor Faustus - Act II
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[The clock strikes the half-hour]
Ah, half the hour is past! 'twill all be past anon
O God, if thou wilt not have mercy on my soul
Yet for Christ's sake, whose blood hath ransom'd me
Impose some end to my incessant pain
Let Faustus live in hell a thousand years
A hundred thousand, and at last be sav'd!
O, no end is limited to damned souls!
Why wert thou not a creature wanting soul?
Or why is this immortal that thou hast?
Ah, Pythagoras' metempsychosis, were that true
This soul should fly from me, and I be chang'd
Unto some brutish beast!
All beasts are happy, for, when they die
Their souls are soon dissolv'd in elements
But mine must live still to be plagu'd in hell
Curs'd be the parents that engender'd me!
No, Faustus, curse thyself, curse Lucifer
That hath depriv'd thee of the joys of heaven
