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

persuasions more pathetical。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Nor are Apollo's oracles more true Than thou shalt 

find my vaunts substantial。 

     TECHELLES。 We are his friends�察�and�察�if the Persian king Should offer 

present dukedoms to our state�察�We think it loss to make exchange for that 

We are assur'd of by our friend's success。 

     USUMCASANE。 And kingdoms at the least we all expect�察�Besides the 

honour      in   assured    conquests�察    �Where     kings    shall   crouch     unto    our 

conquering swords�察�And hosts of soldiers stand amaz'd at us�察�When with 

their   fearful   tongues   they   shall   confess�察  �These   are   the   men   that   all   the 

world admires。

these   resolved�察  �noble   Scythians�   �But   shall   I   prove   a   traitor   to   my 

king�拭�

    TAMBURLAINE。 No�察�but the trusty friend of Tamburlaine。 

    THERIDAMAS。 Won with thy words�察�and conquer'd with thy looks�察�I 

yield myself�察�my men�察�and horse to thee�察�To be partaker of thy good or ill�察�

As long as life maintains Theridamas。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 Theridamas�察�my friend�察�take here my hand�察�Which 

is as much as if I swore by heaven�察�And call'd the gods to witness of my 

vow。 Thus shall my heart be still combin'd with thine Until our bodies turn 

to   elements�察�And   both   our   souls   aspire   celestial   thrones。 Techelles   and 

Casane�察�welcome him。 

    TECHELLES。 Welcome�察�renowmed Persian�察�to us all� �

    USUMCASANE。 Long may Theridamas remain with us� �

    TAMBURLAINE。 These are my friends�察�in whom I more rejoice Than 

doth   the   king   of   Persia   in   his   crown�察  �And�察  �by   the   love   of   Pylades   and 

Orestes�察�Whose statues we adore in Scythia�察�Thyself and them shall 

never part from me Before I crown you kings in Asia。 Make much of 

them�察�gentle Theridamas�察�And they will never leave thee till the death。 

    THERIDAMAS。   Nor   thee   nor   them�察  �thrice´noble   Tamburlaine�察�

Shall   want   my  heart   to   be   with   gladness   pierc'd�察�To   do   you   honour   and 

security。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 A thousand thanks�察�worthy Theridamas。 And now�察�

fair   madam�察 �and   my  noble   lords�察  �If   you   will   willingly  remain   with 

me�察�You shall have honours as your merits be�察�Or else you shall be forc'd 

with slavery。 

    AGYDAS。 We yield unto thee�察�happy Tamburlaine。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 For you�察�then�察�madam�察�I am out of doubt。

       Enter   COSROE�察      �MENAPHON�察         �ORTYGIUS�察        �and   CENEUS�察     �with 

SOLDIERS。 

     COSROE。         Thus    far   are  we    towards     Theridamas�察     �And     valiant 

Tamburlaine�察�the man of fame�察�The man that in the forehead of his fortune 

Bears   figures   of   renown   and   miracle。   But   tell   me�察  �that   hast   seen   him�察�

Menaphon�察�What stature wields he�察�and what personage�拭�

     MENAPHON。 Of stature tall�察�and straightly fashioned�察�Like his desire�察�

lift upwards and divine�察�So large of limbs�察�his joints so strongly knit�察�Such 

breadth   of   shoulders   as   might   mainly   bear   Old Atlas'   burden�察  �'twixt   his 

manly pitch�察�A pearl more worth than all the world is plac'd�察�Wherein 

by curious   sovereignty of   art Are   fix'd his piercing instruments of   sight�察�

Whose   fiery   circles   bear   encompassed   A  heaven   of   heavenly   bodies   in 

their spheres�察�That guides his steps and actions to the throne Where honour 

sits   invested   royally�察  �Pale   of   complexion�察  �wrought   in   him   with   passion�察�

Thirsting with sovereignty and love of arms�察�His lofty brows in folds 

do figure death�察�And in their smoothness amity and life�察�About them hangs 

a knot of amber hair�察�Wrapped in curls�察�as fierce Achilles' was�察�On which 

the   breath   of   heaven    delights   to  play�察 �Making     it  dance   with   wanton 

majesty�察  �His   arms   and   fingers   long   and   sinewy�察  �Betokening   valour 

and excess   of strength�察 �In   every part   proportion'd   like  the  man   Should 

make the world subdu'd to Tamburlaine。 

     COSROE。 Well hast thou pourtray'd in thy terms of life The face and 

personage of a wondrous man�此�Nature doth strive with Fortune and 

his stars To make him famous in accomplish'd worth�察�And well his merits 

shew him to be made His fortune's master and the king of men�察�That could 

persuade�察�at such a sudden pinch�察�With reasons of his valour and his life�察�A 

thousand sworn and overmatching foes。 Then�察�when our powers in points 

of swords are join'd�察�And clos'd in compass of the killing bullet�察�Though 

strait the passage and   the port be   made That leads   to palace of   my 

brother's life�察�Proud is his fortune if we pierce it not�察�And�察�when the 

princely Persian diadem Shall overweigh his weary witless head�察�And fall�察�

like   mellow'd     fruit�察 �with   shakes    of  death�察  �In   fair    Persia   noble

Tamburlaine Shall be my regent�察�and remain as king。 

     ORTYGIUS。 In happy hour we have set the crown Upon your kingly 

head�察�that seeks our honour In joining with the man ordain'd by heaven To 

further every action to the best。 

     CENEUS。 He that with shepherds and a little spoil Durst�察�in disdain of 

wrong and tyranny�察�Defend his freedom 'gainst a monarchy�察�What will he 

do   supported   by   a   king�察  �Leading   a   troop   of   gentlemen   and   lords�察  �And 

stuff'd with treasure for his highest thoughts� �

     COSROE。 And such shall wait on worthy Tamburlaine。 Our army will 

be forty thousand strong�察�When Tamburlaine and brave Theridamas Have 

met us by the river Araris�察�And all conjoin'd to meet the witless king�察�That 

now is marching near to Parthia�察�And�察�with unwilling soldiers faintly arm'd�察�

To   seek   revenge   on   me   and   Tamburlaine�察  �To   whom�察  �sweet   Menaphon�察�

direct me straight。 

     MENAPHON。 I will�察�my lord。 ��Exeunt。�А�

       Enter MYCETES�察�MEANDER�察�with other LORDS�察�and SOLDIERS。 

     MYCETES。 Come�察�my Meander�察�let us to this gear。 I tell you true�察�my 

heart is swoln with wrath On this same thievish villain Tamburlaine�察�And 

of that false Cosroe�察�my traitorous brother。 Would it not grieve a king 

to be so abus'd�察�And have a thousand horsemen ta'en away�拭�And�察�which is 

worse�察�to have his diadem Sought for by such scald knaves as love 

him not�拭�I think it would�此�well�察�then�察�by heavens I swear�察�Aurora shall not 

peep out of her doors�察�But I will have Cosroe by the head�察�And kill proud 

Tamburlaine with point of sword。 Tell you the rest�察�Meander�此�I have said。 

     MEANDER。 Then�察�having pass'd Armenian deserts now�察�And pitch'd 

our tents under the Georgian hills�察�Whose tops are cover'd with Tartarian 

thieves�察�That lie in ambush�察�waiting for a prey�察�What should we do but bid 

them battle straight�察�And rid the world of those detested troops�拭�Lest�察�if we 

let   them   linger   here   a   while�察  �They   gather   strength   by   power   of   fresh 

supplies。   This   country   swarms   with      vile   outragious   men    That   live  by 

rapine and by lawless spoil�察�Fit soldiers for the wicked Tamburlaine�察�

And he that could with gifts and promises Inveigle him that led a thousand 

horse�察�And make him false his faith unto his king�察�Will quickly win 

such as be like himself。 Therefore cheer up your minds�察�prepare to 

fight�此�He that can take or slaughter Tamburlaine�察�Shall rule the province of 

Albania�察    �Who     brings    that  traitor's  head�察   �Theridamas�察     �Shall   have   a 

government in Media�察�Beside the spoil of him and all his train�此�But�察�

if Cosroe ��as our spials say�察�And as we know�� remains with Tamburlaine�察�

His    highness'   pleasure    is  that  he  should    live�察 �And   be   reclaim'd    with 

princely lenity。 

       Enter a SPY。 

     SPY。   An   hundred   horsemen   of   my   company�察  �Scouting   abroad   upon 

these    champion        plains�察 �Have    view'd    the  army    of  the  Scythians�察�

Which make report it far exceeds the king's。 

     MEANDER。   Suppose   they   be   in   number   infinite�察 �Yet   being   void   of 

martial   discipline�察  �All   running   headlong�察  �greedy   after   spoils�察  �And 

more regarding gain than victory�察�Like to the cruel brothers of the earth�察�

of teeth of dragons venomous�拭�

     MEANDER。 So poets say�察�my lord。
