_How Doctor Faustus served the twelve Students_
At Wittenberg before Faustus his house, there was a quarrel between
seven Students, and five that came to part the rest, one part
being stronger than the other. Wherefore Faustus seeing them to be
overmatched, conjured them all blind, in so much that the one could
not see the other, and yet he so dealt with them, that they fought and
smote at one another still, whereat all the beholders fell a-laughing:
and thus they continued blind, beating one another, until the people
parted them, and led each one to his own home: where being entered into
their houses, they received their sight perfectly again.
