     MEANDER。   Then�察  �noble   soldiers�察  �to   entrap   these   thieves   That   live 

confounded in disorder'd troops�察�If wealth or riches may prevail with them�察�

We have our camels laden all with gold�察�Which you that be but common 

soldiers Shall fling in every corner of the field�察�And�察�while the base´born 

Tartars   take   it   up�察  �You�察  �fighting   more   for   honour   than   for   gold�察  �Shall 

massacre   those   greedy´minded   slaves�察�And�察  �when   their   scatter'd   army   is 

subdu'd�察�And you march on their slaughter'd carcasses�察�Share equally the 

gold that bought their lives�察�And live like gentlemen in Persia。 Strike up 

the drum�察�and march courageously�此�Fortune herself doth sit upon our 

crests。

USUMCASANE�察�and ORTYGIUS�察�with others。 

    COSROE。 Now�察�worthy Tamburlaine�察�have I repos'd In thy approved 

fortunes all my hope。 What think'st thou�察�man�察�shall come of our attempts�拭�

For�察�even as from assured oracle�察�I take thy doom for satisfaction。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 And so mistake you not a whit�察�my lord�察�For fates 

and oracles ��of�А�heaven have sworn To royalize the deeds of Tamburlaine�察�

And make them blest that share in his attempts�此�And doubt you not but�察�if 

you   favour   me�察�And   let   my   fortunes   and   my  valour   sway To   some 

direction in your martial deeds�察�The world will strive with hosts of 

men´at´arms   To   swarm   unto   the   ensign   I   support。   The   host   of   Xerxes�察�

which   by   fame   is   said   To   drink   the   mighty   Parthian   Araris�察  �Was   but   a 

handful to that we will have�此�Our quivering lances�察�shaking in the air�察�And 

bullets�察  �like  Jove's  dreadful   thunderbolts�察   �Enroll'd   in  flames   and  fiery 

smouldering mists�察�Shall threat the gods more than Cyclopian wars�察�And 

with    our  sun´bright   armour�察   �as  we   march�察  �We'll  chase   the  stars  from 

heaven�察�and dim their eyes That stand and muse at our admired arms。 

    THERIDAMAS。 You see�察�my lord�察�what working words he hath�察�But�察�

when you see his actions top his speech�察�Your speech will stay�察�or so 

extol his worth As I shall be commended and excus'd For turning my poor 

charge to his direction�此�And these his two renowmed friends�察�my lord�察�

Would make one thirst and strive to be retain'd In such a great degree 

of amity。 

    TECHELLES。   With   duty   and   with   amity   we   yield   Our   utmost 

service to the fair Cosroe。 

    COSROE。 Which I esteem as portion of my crown。 Usumcasane and 

Techelles both�察�When she that rules in Rhamnus' golden gates�察�

And    makes    a  passage    for  all  prosperous   arms�察  �Shall  make    me   solely 

emperor of Asia�察�Then shall your meeds and valours be advanc'd To 

rooms of honour and nobility。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 Then   haste�察 �Cosroe�察�to be king alone�察�That   I   with 

these my friends and all my men May triumph in our long´expected fate。

your royal shoulders Of such a burden as outweighs the sands And all the 

craggy rocks of Caspia。

    MESSENGER。   My   lord�察  �We   have   discovered   the   enemy   Ready   to 

charge you with a mighty army。 

     COSROE。 Come�察�Tamburlaine�察�now whet thy winged sword�察�And lift 

thy lofty arm into the clouds�察�That it may reach the king of Persia's 

crown�察�And set it safe on my victorious head。 

     TAMBURLAINE。   See   where   it   is�察  �the   keenest   curtle´axe   That   e'er 

made passage thorough Persian arms� �These are the wings shall make it 

fly   as   swift   As   doth   the   lightning   or   the   breath   of   heaven�察  �And   kill   as 

sure as it swiftly flies。 

     COSROE。 Thy words assure me of kind success�此�Go�察�valiant soldier�察�

battle。�А�

shot Stand staggering like a quivering aspen´leaf Fearing the force of 

Boreas' boisterous blasts� �In what a lamentable case were I�察�If nature had 

not given me wisdom's lore� �For kings are clouts that every man shoots at�察�

Our    crown  the  pin    that  thousands  seek  to  cleave�此 �Therefore  in 

policy I think it good To hide it close�察�a goodly stratagem�察�And far from 

any man that is a fool�此�So shall not I be known�察�or if I be�察�They cannot 

take away my crown from me。 Here will I hide it in this simple hole。 

      Enter TAMBURLAINE。 

    TAMBURLAINE。   What�察  �fearful   coward�察  �straggling   from   the   camp�察�

When kings themselves are present in the field�拭�

    MYCETES。 Thou liest。

    MYCETES。 Ay�察�marry�察�am I�此�have you any suit to me�拭�

    TAMBURLAINE。 I would entreat you to speak but three wise words。 

    MYCETES。 So I can when I see my time。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 Is this your crown�拭�

    MYCETES。 Ay�此�didst thou ever see a fairer�拭�

    TAMBURLAINE。 You will not sell it�察�will you�拭�

    MYCETES。 Such another word�察�and I will have thee executed。 Come�察�

give it me。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 No�察�I took it prisoner。 

    MYCETES。 You lie�察�I gave it you。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 Then 'tis mine。 

    MYCETES。 No�察�I mean I let you keep it。 

    TAMBURLAINE。 Well�察�I mean you shall have it again。 Here�察�take it 

for a while�此�I lend it thee�察�Till I may see thee hemm'd with armed men�察�
