riend to wash first, which when
Faustus heard, he said, "Sit up;" and all at once they got on the cloak,
but he that spoke fell off again, the other two with Dr. Faustus were
again presently at Wittenburg: but he that remained was taken and laid
in prison: wherefore the other two gentlemen were very sorrowful for
their friend, but Faustus comforted them, promising that on the morrow
he should also be at Wittenburg.

Now all this while was the duke taken in great fear, and strucken into
an exceeding dumps, wondering with himself that his hap was so hard to
be left behind, and not the rest: and now being locked and watched with
so many keepers: there was also certain of the guests that fell to
reasoning with him to know what he was, and also what the other were
that were vanished away? But the poor prisoner thought with himself, "If
I open what they are, then it will be evil also with me." Wherefore all
this while he gave no man any answer, so that he was there a whole day
and gave no man a word: wherefore the old duke gave charge that the next
morning they should rack him until he had confessed; which when the
young duke heard, he began to sorrow, and to say with himself, "It may
be, that to-morrow (if Dr. Faustus come not to aid me) I shall be racked
and grievously tormented, insomuch that I shall be constrained by force
to say more than willingly I would do."

But he comforted himself with hope that his friends would entreat Dr.
Faustus about his deliverance, as also it came to pass: for that before
it was day, Dr. Faustus was by him, and he conjured them that watched
him into such a heavy sleep, that he with his charms made open all the
locks in the prison, and therewithal brought the young duke again in
safety to the rest of his fellows and friends, where they presented
Faustus with a sumptuous gift, and so departed one from another.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

_How Dr. Faustus borrowed Money of a Jew, and laid his own Leg in Pawn
for it._

It is a common proverb in Germany that, although a conjurer have all
things at command, the day will come that he shall not be worth a penny:
so it is like to fall out with Dr. Faustus in promising the devil so
largely; but as the devil is the author of all lies, even so he led
Faustus his mind in practising things to deceive the people, and
blinding them, wherein he took his whole delight, thereby to bring
himself to riches. Notwithstanding, in the end he was never the richer;
