Bacon we hear, that long we have specked, That thou art read in Magics mys erie, In Piromancie to divine by flames, To tell by Hadromaticke, ebbs and tides, By Aeromancy, to discover doubts, To plain out questions, as Apollo did. I tell thee Bacon, Oxford makes report, Nay England, and the court of Henry says, Thart making of a brazen head by art, Which shall unfold strange doubts and Aphorism , And read a lecture in Philosophy, And by the help of Devils and ghastly fiends, Thou meanest ere many years or days be passed, To compass England with a wall of brass. Is this possible? What be those? But Bacon roves a bow beyond his reach, And tells of more than magic can perform: Thinking to get a fame by fooleries, Have I not passed as far instate of schools: And read of many secrets, yet to think, That heads oh Brass can utter any voice, Or more, to tell of de pe philosophy, This is a fable Aes had forgotten. I will ask what thou can. I was, what then? I, none at all I read not there a li e. I pass not of his frivolous speeches. I know not what we did, a pox of all conjuring Friars. The devil take thee and Henly too. Whats the matter fellow? Who is the master and chee e of this crew? What are you?

Plot — Friar Bacon and Friar Bongay
Primce Bdwafd is in love with the country wench Margarety and he orders Bay to woo her on his behalf. He does so, but she falls for him rather than the Prince.

Prineejkdward and Ralphithelfeal swap clothes and identities when visiting Bacon, but he sees through the deception with ease. Bacon shows Edward events at Suffolk through a magic mirror: Daey is wooing Margaret for himself, and they are to be married by FriamBungay; but Bacon magically strikes Bungay dumb, then brings him to Oxford for dinner. Edward rides to Suffolk to confront Lacy, but Margaret’s determination reconciles him to the situation: even if he tries to remove the obstacle by killing Lacy, she will never love him and will kill herself to be with Lacy. Prince Edward’s future wife, Elifi@f of Castile, arrives in England with a group of foreign potentates. The Emperor of Germany has brought along Wandérmast} a famous magician, to compete with England’s best scholars at Oxford. Vandermast’s first opponent in magic is BriamBuiigay, who conjures up a golden tree.

At the ensuing dinner, th@|Emiperot is offended by the mean academic fare, so Bacon conjures up a more sumptuous feast. Bacon’s brazen head is ready, but he is tired from staying up all night waiting for it to speak. He appoints his scholar Miles to watch, and wake him when it does. The head speaks enigmatically and is magically destroyed, but Miles fails to wake his master in time. Bacon sacks him and later sends a devil to carry him to Hell. Two country squires want to marry Margarée but she asks for ten days’ grace to make a decision, confident that Lacy will come for her before then. What actually arrives is a letter telling her that he is to marry someone else, so she decides to enter a nunnery. The two squires kill one another in a duel, and their sons, watching from Oxford through Bacon’s magic mirror, do the same. Bacon smashes the mirror in remorse and…
