〃Mephistophilis; transform him straight' According to THE
HISTORY OF DR。 FAUSTUS; the knight was not present during
Faustus's 〃conference〃 with the Emperor; nor did he offer
the doctor any insult by doubting his skill in magic。 We
are there told that Faustus happening to see the knight
asleep; 〃leaning out of a window of the great hall;〃 fixed
a huge pair of hart's horns on his head; 〃and; as the knight
awaked; thinking to pull in his head; he hit his hornes
against the glasse; that the panes thereof flew about his
eares: thinke here how this good gentleman was vexed; for
he could neither get backward nor forward。〃 After the emperor
and the courtiers; to their great amusement; had beheld the
poor knight in this condition; Faustus removed the horns。
When Faustus; having taken leave of the emperor; was a league
and a half from the city; he was attacked in a wood by the
knight and some of his companions: they were in armour; and
mounted on fair palfreys; but the doctor quickly overcame
them by turning all the bushes into horsemen; and 〃so
charmed them; that every one; knight and other; for the
space of a whole moneth; did weare a paire of goates
hornes on their browes; and every palfry a paire of oxe
hornes on his head; and this was their penance appointed
by Faustus。〃 A second attempt of the knight to revenge
himself on Faustus proved equally unsuccessful。 Sigs。 G 2;
