SCENE XV.

Enter4 the Old Man.

• AccursÈD Faustus, miserable man,
• That from thy soul exclud'st the Grace of Heaven,
• And fly'st the throne of his tribunal seat!
• Enter Devils.
• Satan begins to sift me with his pride:
• As in this furnace God shalt try my faith,
• My faith, vile Hell, shalt triumph over thee.
• Ambitious fiends! see how the heavens smile
• At your repulse, and laugh your state to scorn!
• Hence, Hell! for hence I fly unto my God.
• [Exeunt on one side Devils—on the other, Old Man.

[4]Evidently this is a new scene, though none of the editors has so printed it. The scene is laid in a room of Faustus' house, whither the Old Man has come to exhort Faustus to repentance.
