Gravell'd the pastors of the German church, Enter VALDES and CORNELIUS. Then, gentle friends, aid me in this attempt; To practice magic and concealed arts: Unpleasant, harsh, contemptible, and vile:[31] And I, that have with concise syllogisms[32] And reign sole king of all the[28] provinces; Valdes, sweet Valdes, and Cornelius, Come, German Valdes, and Cornelius, Wherewith the students shall be bravely clad; Than was the fiery keel at Antwerp's bridge,[29] Yea, stranger engines for the brunt of war, And make swift Rhine circle fair Wertenberg; Divinity is basest of the three, And make me blest with your sage conference. I'll levy soldiers with the coin they bring, But ruminates on necromantic skill. Philosophy is odious and obscure; 'Tis magic, magic, that hath ravish'd me. That will receive no object; for my head Both law and physic are for petty wits; I'll have them wall all Germany with brass, I'll make my servile spirits to invent. I'll have them fill the public schools with silk,[27] Yet not your words only,[30] but mine own fantasy, And chase the Prince of Parma from our land, Know that your words have won me at the last
