Mephostophilis [to Faustus]:
But now my Faustus, that thou maist perceive,
What Rome containes for to delight thine eyes,
Know that this City stands upon seven hils,
That underprop the ground-worke of the same:
Just through the midst runnes flowing Tybers streame,
With winding bankes that cut it in two parts;
That underprop the ground-worke of the same:
Just through the midst runnes flowing Tybers streame,
With winding bankes that cut it in two parts;
Over the which foure stately Bridges leane,
That make safe passage, to each part of Rome.
That make safe passage, to each part of Rome.
Upon the Bridge, call'd Ponte Angelo,
Erected is a Castle passing strong,
Where thou shalt see such store of Ordinance,
As that the double Cannons forg'd of brasse,
Do match the number of the daies contain'd,
Within the compasse of one compleat yeare:
Beside the gates, and high Pyramydes,
That Julius Cæsar brought from Affrica.
Erected is a Castle passing strong,
