her mouth small, her neck white like a swan; tall and slender of
personage; in summe, there was no imperfect place in her: she
looked round about with a rolling hawkes eye, a smiling and
wanton countenance, which neere-hand inflamed the hearts of all
the students; but that they perswaded themselves she was a spirit,
which made them lightly passe away such fancies." Sig. H 4, ed. 1648.

<154> Enter an OLD MAN] See chap. xlviii of THE HISTORY OF DOCTOR
FAUSTUS,--"How an old man, the neighbour of Faustus, sought to
perswade him to amend his evil life and to fall into repentance,"
--according to which history, the Old Man's exhortation is delivered
at his own house, whither he had invited Faustus to supper.

<155> vild] Old ed. "vild." See note ||, p. 68.

Great):

Vile] The 8vo "Vild"; the 4to "Wild" (Both eds. a little
before, have "VILE monster, born of some infernal hag", and,
a few lines after, "To VILE and ignominious servitude":--the
fact is, our early writers (or rather transcribers), with
their usual inconsistency of spelling, give now the one form,
and now the other: compare the folio SHAKESPEARE, 1623,
where we sometimes find "vild" and sometimes "VILE.")>

<156> sin] Old ed. "sinnes" (This is not in the later 4tos).

<157> almost] So the later 4tos.--Not in 4to 1604.
