Soldan's crown As any prizes out of my precinct�察�For they are friends that 

help to wean my state Till men and kingdoms help to strengthen it�察�And 

must   maintain   my  life   exempt   from  servitude。   But�察�tell   me�察  �madam�察 �is 

your grace betroth'd�拭�

     ZENOCRATE。 I am�察�my lord��for so you do import。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 I am a lord�察�for so my deeds shall prove�察�And yet a 

shepherd by my parentage。 But�察�lady�察�this fair face and heavenly hue Must 

grace his bed that conquers Asia�察�And means to be a terror to the world�察�

Measuring the limits of his empery By east and west�察�as Phoebus doth his 

course。 Lie here�察�ye weeds�察�that I disdain to wear� �This complete armour 

and   this   curtle´axe   Are   adjuncts   more   beseeming   Tamburlaine。       And�察�

madam�察�whatsoever you esteem Of this success�察�and loss unvalued�察�

Both may invest you empress of the East�察�And these that seem but   silly 

country   swains   May   have   the   leading   of   so   great   an   host As   with   their 

weight shall make the mountains quake�察�Even as when windy exhalations�察�

Fighting for passage�察�tilt within the earth。 

     TECHELLES。           As    princely    lions�察  �when     they   rouse    themselves�察�

Stretching their   paws�察  �and   threatening   herds   of   beasts�察 �So   in   his   armour 

looketh   Tamburlaine。   Methinks   I   see   kings   kneeling   at   his   feet�察�And   he 

with frowning brows and fiery looks Spurning their crowns from off their 

captive heads。 

     USUMCASANE。   And   making   thee   and   me�察  �Techelles�察  �kings�察  �That 

even to death will follow Tamburlaine。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Nobly resolv'd�察�sweet friends and followers� �These 

lords    perhaps     do   scorn    our   estimates�察    �And    think    we   prattle   with 

distemper'd spirits�此�But�察�since they measure our deserts so mean�察�That in 

conceit bear empires on our spears�察�Affecting thoughts coequal with 

the   clouds�察  �They   shall   be   kept   our   forced   followers   Till   with   their   eyes 

they view us emperors。 

     ZENOCRATE。           The    gods�察  �defenders     of   the   innocent。    Will   never 

prosper your intended drifts�察�That thus oppress poor friendless passengers。 

Therefore at least admit us liberty�察�Even as thou hop'st to be eternized By 

living Asia's mighty emperor。 

     AGYDAS。   I   hope   our   lady's   treasure   and   our   own   May   serve   for 

ransom to our liberties�此�Return our mules and empty camels back�察�That we 

may travel into Syria�察�Where her betrothed lord�察�Alcidamus�察�Expects the 

arrival of her highness' person。 

     MAGNETES。 And   wheresoever   we   repose   ourselves�察�We   will   report 

but well of Tamburlaine。 

     TAMBURLAINE。   Disdains   Zenocrate   to   live   with   me�拭  �Or   you�察  �my 

lords�察�to be my followers�拭�Think you I weigh this treasure more than you�拭�

Not all the gold in India's wealthy arms Shall buy the meanest soldier in 

my   train。   Zenocrate�察  �lovelier   than   the   love   of   Jove�察  �Brighter   than   is   the 

silver    Rhodope�察      �Fairer   than   whitest   snow     on  Scythian    hills�察 �Thy 

person is more worth to Tamburlaine Than the possession of the Persian

crown�察�Which gracious stars have promis'd at my birth。 A hundred Tartars 

shall   attend   on   thee�察 �Mounted      on   steeds  swifter   than   Pegasus�察   �Thy 

garments shall be made of Median silk�察�Enchas'd with precious jewels of 

mine own�察�More rich and valurous than Zenocrate's�察�With milk´white 

harts    upon    an  ivory   sled   Thou    shalt   be   drawn    amidst    the  frozen 

pools�察�And scale the icy mountains' lofty tops�察�Which with thy beauty 

will be soon resolv'd�此�My martial prizes�察�with five hundred men�察�Won 

on   the   fifty´headed   Volga's   waves�察  �Shall   we   all   offer   to   Zenocrate�察�

And then myself to fair Zenocrate。 

     TECHELLES。 What now� �in love�拭�

     TAMBURLAINE。 Techelles�察�women must be flattered�此�But this is she 

with whom I am in love。 

       Enter a SOLDIER。 

     SOLDIER。 News�察�news� �

     TAMBURLAINE。 How now� �what's the matter�拭�

     SOLDIER。 A  thousand   Persian   horsemen   are   at   hand�察  �Sent   from  the 

king to overcome us all。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 How now�察�my lords of Egypt�察�and Zenocrate� �Now 

must   your    jewels   be  restor'd   again�察  �And   I�察 �that   triumph'd   so�察 �be 

overcome�拭�How say you�察�lordings�拭�is not this your hope�拭�

    AGYDAS。 We hope yourself will willingly restore them。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Such hope�察�such fortune�察�have the thousand horse。 

Soft ye�察�my lords�察�and sweet Zenocrate� �You must be forced from me ere 

you go。 A thousand horsemen� �we five hundred foot� �An odds too great 

for   us   to   stand   against。   But   are   they   rich�拭  �and   is   their   armour   good� �

SOLDIER。        Their   plumed    helms    are  wrought    with   beaten   gold�察  �Their 

swords enamell'd�察�and about their necks Hang massy chains of gold down 

to the waist�察�In every part exceeding brave and rich。 

     TAMBURLAINE。   Then   shall   we   fight   courageously   with   them�拭  �Or 

look you I should play the orator�拭�

     TECHELLES。         No�察  �cowards     and   faint´hearted    runaways     Look   for 

orations when the foe is near�此�Our swords shall play the orators for us。 

    USUMCASANE。   Come�察  �let   us   meet   them   at   the   mountain´top�察�

And   with   a   sudden   and   an   hot   alarum   Drive   all   their   horses   headlong

down the hill。 

     TECHELLES。 Come�察�let us march。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Stay�察�Techelles�察�ask a parle first。 

       The SOLDIERS enter。 

     Open the mails�察�yet guard the treasure sure�此�Lay out our golden 

wedges   to   the view�察�That   their   reflections   may  amaze   the   Persians�察�And 

look   we   friendly   on   them   when   they   come�此  �But�察  �if   they   offer   word   or 

violence�察  �We'll   fight�察  �five   hundred   men´at´arms   to   one�察  �Before   we   part 

with our possession�察�And 'gainst the general we will lift our swords�察�And 

either lance his greedy thirsting throat�察�Or take him prisoner�察�and his 

chain shall serve For manacles till he be ransom'd home。 

     TECHELLES。 I hear them come�此�shall we encounter them�拭�

     TAMBURLAINE。 Keep all your standings�察�and not stir a foot�此�Myself 

will bide the danger of the brunt。 

       Enter THERIDAMAS with others。 

     THERIDAMAS。 Where is this Scythian Tamburlaine�拭�

     TAMBURLAINE。 Whom seek'st thou�察�Persian�拭�I am Tamburlaine。 

     THERIDAMAS。   Tamburlaine�   �A   Scythian   shepherd   so   embellished 

With nature's pride and richest furniture� �His looks do menace heaven and 

dare the gods�察�His fiery eyes are fix'd upon the earth�察�As if he now devis'd 

some stratagem�察�Or meant to pierce Avernus' darksome vaults To pull 

the triple´headed dog from hell。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Noble and mild this Persian seems to be�察�If outward 

habit judge the inward man。 

     TECHELLES。 His deep affections make him passionate。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 With what a majesty he rears his looks� �In thee�察�

thou valiant man of Persia�察�I see the folly of thy emperor。 Art thou 

but captain of a thousand horse�察�That by characters graven in thy brows�察�

And by thy martial face and stout aspect�察�Deserv'st to have the leading of 

an host�拭�Forsake thy king�察�and do but join with me�察�And we will triumph 

over all the world�此�I hold the Fates bound fast in iron chains�察�And with my 

hand turn   Fortune's   wheel   about�察�And   sooner   shall   the  sun   fall   from  his 

sphere   Than   Tamburlaine   be   slain   or   overcome。   Draw   forth   thy   sword�察�

thou   mighty   man´at´arms�察  �Intending   but   to   raze   my   charmed   skin�察�And

Jove   himself   will   stretch   his   hand   from   heaven   To   ward   the   blow�察  �and 

shield   me   safe   from   harm。   See�察  �how   he   rains   down   heaps   of   gold   in 

showers�察  �As   if   he   meant   to   give   my   soldiers   pay�   �And�察  �as   a   sure   and 

grounded argument That I shall be the monarch of the East�察�He sends this 

Soldan's     daughter     rich  and    brave�察     �To   be  my    queen    and    portly 

emperess。  If   thou   wilt stay  with   me�察  �renowmed   man�察�And   lead   thy 

thousand horse with my conduct�察�Besides thy share of this Egyptian prize�察�

Those      thousand     horse   shall   sweat    with    martial    spoil   Of   conquer'd 

kingdoms       and    of  cities   sack'd�此  �Both    we   will   walk    upon    the   lofty 

cliffs�察�And   Christian   merchants�察  �that   with   Russian   stems 

Plough up huge furrows in the Caspian Sea�察�Shall vail to us as lords 

of   all   the   lake�察  �Both   we   will   reign   as   consuls   of   the   earth�察�And   mighty 

kings shall be our senators。 Jove sometime masked in a shepherd's weed�察�

And     by   those   steps  that  he   hath   scal'd  the  heavens     May   we    become 

immortal like the gods。 Join with me now in this my mean estate�察。�I call it 

mean�察�because�察�being yet obscure�察�The nations far´remov'd admire me not�撮� 

And when my name and honour shall be spread As far as Boreas claps his 

brazen wings�察�Or fair Bootes sends his cheerful light�察�Then shalt thou 

be competitor with me�察�And sit with Tamburlaine in all his majesty。 

     THERIDAMAS。            Not    Hermes�察    �prolocutor    to  the   gods�察  �Could     use
