CHAPTER LIII

_How Doctor Faustus caused Mephostophiles to bring him seven of

the fairest women that he could find in all those countries he had

travelled in, in the twentieth year_

When Doctor Faustus called to mind, that his time from day to day drew

nigh, he began to live a swinish and Epicurish Life, wherefore he

commanded his Spirit Mephostophiles, to bring him seven of the fairest

women that he had seen in all the time of his travel: which being

brought, first one, and then another, he lay with them all, in so much

that he liked them so well, that he continued with them in all manner

of love, and made them to travel with him in all his journeys. These

women were two Netherlanders, one Hungarian, one English, two Wallons,

one Francklander: and with these sweet personages he continued long,

yea even to his last end.
