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�

TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT
Renowmed Tamburlaine�察 �to whom all kings Of force must yield
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
her here the Queen of Persia What saith the noble Soldan�察 �and
Zenocrate�拭�
SOLDAN。 I yield with thanks and protestations Of endless honour to
thee for her love。
TAMBURLAINE。 Then doubt I not but fair Zenocrate Will
soon consent to satisfy us both。
ZENOCRATE。 Else should I much forget myself�察�my lord。
THERIDAMAS。 Then let us set the crown upon her head�察�That long
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
thy sire�察�And from the bounds of Afric to the banks Of Ganges shall his
mighty arm extend。 And now�察 �my lords and loving followers�察 �That
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
of noblemen�察�And there make laws to rule your provinces�此�Hang up your

world。 Thy first´betrothed love�察 �Arabia�察 �Shall we with honour�察 �as

after all these solemn exequies�察 �We will our rites of marriage
