_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.
