ZENOCRATE。 Earth�察�cast up fountains from thy entrails�察�And
wet thy cheeks for their untimely deaths�察�Shake with their weight in sign
of fear and grief� �Blush�察�heaven�察�that gave them honour at their birth�察�And
let them die a death so barbarous� �Those that are proud of fickle empery
And place their chiefest good in earthly pomp�察 �Behold the Turk and his
great emperess� �Ah�察 �Tamburlaine my love�察 �sweet Tamburlaine�察 �That
fight'st for sceptres and for slippery crowns�察�Behold the Turk and his great
emperess� �Thou that�察 �in conduct of thy happy stars�察 �Sleep'st every night
with conquest on thy brows�察�And yet wouldst shun the wavering turns of
war�察�In fear and feeling of the like distress Behold the Turk and his
great emperess� �Ah�察�mighty Jove and holy Mahomet�察�Pardon my love� �O�察�
pardon his contempt Of earthly fortune and respect of pity�察�And let not
conquest�察 �ruthlessly pursu'd�察 �Be equally against his life incens'd In this
great Turk and hapless emperess� �And pardon me that was not mov'd with
ruth To see them live so long in misery� �Ah�察�what may chance to thee�察�
Zenocrate�拭�
ANIPPE。 Madam�察 �content yourself�察 �and be resolv'd Your love hath
Fortune so at his command�察 �That she shall stay�察 �and turn her wheel no
more�察�As long as life maintains his mighty arm That fights for honour to
adorn your head。
Enter PHILEMUS。
ZENOCRATE。 What other heavy news now brings Philemus�拭�
PHILEMUS。 Madam�察 �your father�察 �and the Arabian king�察 �The first
affecter of your excellence�察�Come now�察�as Turnus 'gainst Aeneas did�察�
Armed with lance into the Aegyptian fields�察�Ready for battle 'gainst
my lord the king。

TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT
ZENOCRATE。 Now shame and duty�察�love and fear present A thousand
sorrows to my martyr'd soul。 Whom should I wish the fatal victory�察�When
my poor pleasures are divided thus�察�And rack'd by duty from my cursed
heart�拭 �My father and my first´betrothed love Must fight against my life
and present love�察 �Wherein the change I use condemns my faith�察 �And
makes my deeds infamous through the world�此�But�察�as the gods�察�to end the
Trojans' toil�察 �Prevented Turnus of Lavinia�察 �And fatally enrich'd Aeneas'
love�察�So�察�for a final issue to my griefs�察�To pacify my country and
my love�察 �Must Tamburlaine by their resistless powers�察 �With virtue of a
gentle victory�察 �Conclude a league of honour to my hope�察 �Then�察 �as the
powers divine have pre´ordain'd�察 �With happy safety of my father's life
Send like defence of fair Arabia ��They sound to the battle within�察 �and
TAMBURLAINE enjoys the victory�此 �after which�察 �the KING OF
ARABIA enters wounded。�А�
KING OF ARABIA。 What cursed power guides the murdering hands
Of this infamous tyrant's soldiers�察�That no escape may save their enemies�察�
Nor fortune keep themselves from victory�拭�Lie down�察�Arabia�察�wounded to
the death�察�And let Zenocrate's fair eyes behold�察�That�察�as for her thou bear'st
these wretched arms�察 �Even so for her thou diest in these arms�察 �Leaving
thy blood for witness of thy love。
ZENOCRATE。 Too dear a witness for such love�察 �my lord� �Behold
Zenocrate�察 �the cursed object Whose fortunes never mastered her griefs�察�
Behold her wounded in conceit for thee�察�As much as thy fair body is
for me� �
KING OF ARABIA。 Then shall I die with full contented heart�察�Having
beheld divine Zenocrate�察�Whose sight with joy would take away my life
As now it bringeth sweetness to my wound�察�If I had not been wounded as I
am。 Ah�察�that the deadly pangs I suffer now Would lend an hour's licence to
my tongue�察�To make discourse of some sweet accidents Have chanc'd thy
merits in this worthless bondage�察�And that I might be privy to the state Of
thy deserv'd contentment and thy love� �But�察�making now a virtue of thy
sight�察�To drive all sorrow from my fainting soul�察 �Since death denies me
further cause of joy�察�Depriv'd of care�察�my heart with comfort dies�察�Since
thy desired hand shall close mine eyes。 ��Dies。�А�

TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT
Re´enter TAMBURLAINE�察 �leading the SOLDAN�察 �TECHELLES�察�
THERIDAMAS�察�USUMCASANE�察�with others。
TAMBURLAINE。 Come�察 �happy father of Zenocrate�察 �A title higher
than thy Soldan's name。 Though my right hand have thus enthralled
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
