e to no little disgrace of the gentleman. It pleased Dr.
Faustus, through the help of his spirit Mephistophiles, to fix on his
head as he slept a huge pair of hart's horns; and as the knight awaked,
thinking to pull in his head, he hit his horns against the glass,
that the panes thereof flew about his ears. Think here how this good
gentleman was vexed, for he could neither get backward nor forward;
which, when the emperor heard, all the courtiers laughed, and came for
to see what had happened. The emperor also, when he beheld the knight
with so fair a head, laughed heartily thereat, and was therewith well
pleased. At last Faustus made him quit of his horns again, but the
knight perceived not how they came.

CHAPTER XXXI.

_How the above-mentioned Knight went about to be revenged of Dr.
Faustus._

Dr. Faustus took his leave of the emperor and the rest of the courtiers,
at whose departure they were sorry, giving him many rewards and gifts;
but being a league and a half out of the city, he came into a wood,
where he beheld the knight that he had jested with at the court with
others in harness, mounted upon fair palfreys, and running with full
charge towards Faustus; but he seeing their intent ran towards the
bushes, and before he came among the bushes he returned again, running
as it were to meet them that chased him: whereupon suddenly all the
bushes were turned into horsemen, which also ran to encounter with the
knight and his company, and coming to them, they enclosed the knight and
the rest, and told them they must pay their ransom before they departed;
whereupon the knight seeing himself in such distress, besought Faustus
to be good to them, which he denied not but let them loose; yet he so
charmed them, that every one, knight and other, for the space of a whole
month did wear a pair of goat's horns on their brows, and every palfrey
a pair of ox's horns on his head; and this was their penance appointed
by Faustus.

CHAPTER XXXII.

_How three young Dukes being together at Wittenburg, to behold the
University, requested Faustus to help them at a Wish to the Town of
Muncheon, in Bavaria, there to see the Duke of Bavaria's Son's Wedding._

Three worthy young dukes, the which are not here to be named, but being
students all together, at the university of Wittenburg, met on a time
all together, where they fell in reasoning concerning the pomp and bravery
that should be in the city of Muncheon in Bavar
