English Elizabethan Poet and Playwright who is noted especially for his establishment of dramatic blank verse, 1564-1593 Popularity:
“You stars that reigned at my nativity, / Whose influence hath allotted death and hell, / Now draw up Faustus, like a foggy mist, / Into the entrails of yon labouring cloud.”
“Now hast thou but one bare hour to live / And then thou must be damned perpetually! / Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,/ That time may cease and midnight never come.”
