Excerpt from Eleanor Fortesque Brickdale's Golden Book of Famous WomenFaust. Was this the face that launched a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium! Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. [kisses her. Her lips suck forth my soul! See Where it ¿ies, Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. I will be Paris, and for love of thee, Instead of Troy Shall Wittenberg be sacked, And I will combat with weak Menelaus, And wear thy colours on my plumed crest Yea, I will wound Achilles in the heel, And then return to Helen for a kiss. Oh! Thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars, Brighter art thou than ¿aming Jupiter, When he appeared to hapless Semele, More lovely than the monarch of the sky In wanton Arethusa's azure arms, And none but thou shalt be my paramour!Christopher marlowe.
