     summary: The fact is, however, that the best authorities are very much at sea as to the meaning of _declinet_, which, though it must signify go over, tell like a bead-roll, in some way or other, might be susceptible of application to authorship, recitation, or even copying. The former, since the fortunate reprinting of Lord Berners's version by the Early English Text Society, is open to every one, though, of course, the last vestiges of _chanson_ form have departed, and those who can should read it as edited in M. Guessard's series.

     summary: You have heard before that all Faustus's mind was to study the arts of necromancy and conjuration, the which exercise he followed day and night, and taking to him the wings of an eagle thought to fly over the whole world, and to know the secrets of heaven and earth, for his speculation was so wonderful, being expert in using his vocabula, figures, characters, conjuration, and other ceremonial actions, that in all haste he put in practice to bring the devil before him, and taking his way to a thick wood near to Wittenburg, called in the German tongue, Spisser Holt, that is in English, the Spisser's Wood, as Faustus would oftentimes boast of it among the crew, being in jollity, he came into the wood one evening into the cross-way, where he made with a wand a circle in the dust, and within that many more circles and characters; and thus he past away the time until it was nine or ten of the clock in the night, then began Dr. Faustus to call on Mephistophiles the Spirit, and to charge him in the name of Belzebub, to appear there presently, without any long stay. But Dr. Faustus said, The head that is my servant, is above all upon earth; and repeated certain words out of St. Paul to the Ephesians, to make his argument good, The Prince of the World is upon earth and under heaven.
