thee�察�Thy princely daughter here shall set thee free�察�She that hath calm'd 

the fury of my sword�察�Which had ere this been bath'd in streams of blood 

As vast and deep as Euphrates or Nile。 

     ZENOCRATE。 O sight thrice´welcome to my joyful soul�察�To see the 

king�察�my father�察�issue safe From dangerous battle of my conquering love� �

     SOLDAN。 Well met�察�my only dear Zenocrate�察�Though with the loss of 

Egypt and my crown� �

     TAMBURLAINE。 'Twas I�察�my lord�察�that gat the victory�察�And therefore 

grieve not at your overthrow�察�Since I shall render all into your hands�察�And 

add more strength to your dominions Than ever yet confirm'd th' Egyptian 

crown。   The   god   of   war   resigns   his   room   to   me�察  �Meaning   to   make   me 

general   of   the   world�此  �Jove�察  �viewing   me   in   arms�察  �looks   pale   and   wan�察�

Fearing   my   power   should   pull   him   from   his   throne�此  �Where'er   I 

come the Fatal Sisters sweat�察�And grisly Death�察�by running to and 

fro�察�To do their ceaseless homage to my sword�此�And here in Afric�察�where it 

seldom   rains�察  �Since   I   arriv'd   with   my   triumphant   host�察  �Have   swelling 

clouds�察�drawn from wide´gaping wounds�察�Been oft resolv'd in 

bloody purple showers�察�A meteor that might terrify the earth�察�And make it 

quake at every drop it drinks�此�Millions of souls sit on the banks of 

Styx�察�Waiting   the   back´return   of   Charon's   boat�察  �Hell   and   Elysium 

swarm with ghosts of men That I have sent from sundry foughten fields To 

spread my fame through hell and up to heaven�此�And see�察�my lord�察�a sight 

of   strange   import�察  �Emperors   and   kings   lie   breathless   at   my   feet�察  �The 

Turk and his great empress�察�as it seems�察�Left to themselves while we were 

at   the   fight�察  �Have   desperately   despatch'd   their   slavish   lives�此  �With   them 

Arabia�察�too�察�hath left his life�此�All sights of power to grace my victory�察�And 

such are objects fit for Tamburlaine�察�Wherein�察�as in a mirror�察�may be seen 

His honour�察�that consists in shedding blood When men presume to manage 

arms with him。 

     SOLDAN。         Mighty      hath   God     and    Mahomet       made     thy   hand�察�

their crowns and emperies�察�And I am pleas'd with this my overthrow�察�If�察�as 

beseems a person of thy state�察�Thou hast with honour us'd Zenocrate。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Her state and person want no pomp�察�you see�察�And 

for all blot of foul inchastity�察�I record heaven�察�her heavenly self is 

clear�此  �Then    let  me   find   no  further   time      to  grace   Her   princely 

temples with the Persian crown�察�But here these kings that on my fortunes 

wait�察�And have been crown'd for proved worthiness Even by this hand that 

shall establish them�察�Shall now�察�adjoining all their hands with mine�察�Invest

hath linger'd for so high a seat。 

     TECHELLES。   My   hand   is   ready   to   perform   the   deed�察  �For   now   her 

marriage´time shall work us rest。 

     USUMCASANE。 And here's the crown�察�my lord�察�help set it on。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Then sit thou down�察�divine Zenocrate�察�And here we 

crown   thee   Queen   of   Persia�察�And   all   the   kingdoms   and   dominions   That 

late   the   power   of   Tamburlaine   subdu'd。  As   Juno�察  �when   the   giants   were 

suppress'd�察�That darted mountains at her brother Jove�察�So looks my love�察�

shadowing   in   her   brows   Triumphs   and   trophies   for   my   victories�察  �Or   as 

Latona's daughter�察�bent to arms�察�Adding more courage to my conquering 

mind。 To   gratify  the��e�В察 �sweet   Zenocrate�察 �Egyptians�察 �Moors�察 �and   men   of 

Asia�察�From Barbary unto the Western India�察�Shall pay a yearly tribute to

purchas'd kingdoms by your martial deeds�察�Cast off your armour�察�put on 

scarlet robes�察�Mount up your royal places of estate�察�Environed with troops
