Read the excerpt below and answer the question. go, and return an old franciscan friar; that holy shape becomes a devil best. (scene 3, lines 21-22) what literary term describes these lines?

This is from Faustus, by Christopher Marlowe. If you have choices it would be a good idea to list them. These lines are said to Mephistopheles, who is a devil pretty high up in "the organization." 

The Catholic Church was taking a bit a beating at the time (Marlowe was part of the Renaissance movement), and so he his making the comment that an old Franciscan Friar would suit a devil best. It is credited with being comic relief. 

Frankly I don't find it so, but if it is one of your answers, take it.
