Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships, / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium? / Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss! / Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!

—Faustus.

The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus

Christopher Marlowe

The master of blank verse, Marlowe was the first to turn the Faustian myth into a morality play; it remains an apogee of Elizabethan drama.
