<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • The Great Chain of Being

<u><em>Prologue:</em></u>

<em>"CHORUS. Not marching in the fields of Thrasymene, </em>

<em>Where Mars did mate the warlike Carthagens;<1> </em>

<em>Nor sporting in the dalliance of love, </em>

<em>In courts of kings where state is overturn'd; </em>

<em>Nor in the pomp of proud audacious deeds, </em>

<em>Intends our Muse to vaunt her<2> heavenly verse: </em>

<em>Only this, gentles,—we must now perform </em>

<em>The form of Faustus' fortunes, good or bad: </em>

<em>And now to patient judgments we appeal, </em>

<em>And speak for Faustus in his infancy. </em>

<em>Now is he born of parents base of stock, </em>

<em>In Germany, within a town call'd Rhodes: </em>

<em>At riper years, to Wittenberg he went, </em>

<em>Whereas his kinsmen chiefly brought him up. </em>

<em>So much he profits in divinity, </em>

<em>That shortly he was grac'd with doctor's name, </em>

<em>Excelling all, and sweetly can dispute </em>

<em>In th' heavenly matters of theology; </em>

<em>Till swoln with cunning, of<3> a self-conceit, </em>

<em>His waxen wings did mount above his reach, </em>

<em>And, melting, heavens conspir'd his overthrow; </em>

<em>For, falling to a devilish exercise, </em>

<em>And glutted now with learning's golden gifts, </em>

<em>He surfeits upon<4> cursed necromancy; </em>

<em>Nothing so sweet as magic is to him, </em>

<em>Which he prefers before his chiefest bliss: </em>

<em>And this the man that in his study sits. "</em>
