A quotation from Kit Marlowe

FAUSTUS: I see there’s virtue in my heavenly words:
   Who would not be proficient in this art?
   How pliant is this Mephistophilis,
   Full of obedience and humility!
   Such is the force of magic and my spells:
   No, Faustus, thou art conjuror laureat,
   That canst command great Mephistophilis:
   Quin regis Mephistophilis fratris imagine.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Act 1, sc. 3 (sc. 3), l. 270ff (1594; 1604 “A” text)
