ZABINA。 To Tamburlaine�察�the great Tartarian thief� �
ZENOCRATE。 Thou wilt repent these lavish words of thine When thy
great basso´master and thyself Must plead for mercy at his kingly feet�察�
And sue to me to be your advocate。

ZABINA。 And sue to thee� �I tell thee�察 �shameless girl�察�Thou shalt be
laundress to my waiting´maid。 How lik'st thou her�察�Ebea�拭�will she serve�拭�
EBEA。 Madam�察�she thinks perhaps she is too fine�察�But I shall turn her
into other weeds�察�And make her dainty fingers fall to work。
ZENOCRATE。 Hear'st thou�察�Anippe�察�how thy drudge doth talk�拭�And
how my slave�察�her mistress�察�menaceth�拭�Both for their sauciness shall be
employ'd To dress the common soldiers' meat and drink�察�For we will scorn
they should come near ourselves。
ANIPPE。 Yet sometimes let your highness send for them To do the
work my chambermaid disdains。 ��They sound to the battle within。�А�
ZENOCRATE。 Ye gods and powers that govern Persia�察�And made my
lordly love her worthy king�察 �Now strengthen him against the Turkish
Bajazeth�察�And let his foes�察�like flocks of fearful roes Pursu'd by hunters�察�
fly his angry looks�察�That I may see him issue conqueror� �
ZABINA。 Now�察 �Mahomet�察 �solicit God himself�察 �And make him rain
down murdering shot from heaven�察 �To dash the Scythians' brains�察 �and
strike them dead�察�That dare to manage arms with him That offer'd
jewels to thy sacred shrine When first he warr'd against the Christians� �
��They sound again to the battle within。�А�
ZENOCRATE。 By this the Turks lie weltering in their blood�察 �And
Tamburlaine is lord of Africa。
ZABINA。 Thou art deceiv'd。 I heard the trumpets sound As when my
emperor overthrew the Greeks�察�And led them captive into Africa。 Straight
will I use thee as thy pride deserves�察�Prepare thyself to live and die my
slave。
ZENOCRATE。 If Mahomet should come from heaven and swear My
royal lord is slain or conquered�察�Yet should he not persuade me otherwise
But that he lives and will be conqueror。
Re´enter BAJAZETH�察�pursued by TAMBURLAINE。
TAMBURLAINE。 Now�察�king of bassoes�察�who is conqueror�拭�
BAJAZETH。 Thou�察�by the fortune of this damned foil。
TAMBURLAINE。 Where are your stout contributory kings�拭�
Re´enter TECHELLES�察�THERIDAMAS�察�and USUMCASANE。
TECHELLES。 We have their crowns�察�their bodies strow the field。

TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT
TAMBURLAINE。 Each man a crown� �why�察 �kingly fought�察 �i'faith。
Deliver them into my treasury。
ZENOCRATE。 Now let me offer to my gracious lord His royal crown
again so highly won。
TAMBURLAINE。 Nay�察 �take the Turkish crown from her�察 �Zenocrate�察�
And crown me emperor of Africa。
ZABINA。 No�察�Tamburlaine�察�though now thou gat the best�察�Thou
shalt not yet be lord of Africa。
THERIDAMAS。 Give her the crown�察�Turkess�察�you were best。 ��Takes it
from her。�А�
ZABINA。 Injurious villains�察 �thieves�察 �runagates�察 �How dare you thus
abuse my majesty�拭�
THERIDAMAS。 Here�察�madam�察�you are empress�察�she is none。 ��Gives it
to ZENOCRATE。�А�
TAMBURLAINE。 Not now�察�Theridamas�察�her time is past�此�The pillars�察�
that have bolster'd up those terms�察�Are faln in clusters at my conquering
feet。
ZABINA。 Though he be prisoner�察�he may be ransom'd。
TAMBURLAINE。 Not all the world shall ransom Bajazeth。
BAJAZETH。 Ah�察�fair Zabina� �we have lost the field�察�And never had
the Turkish emperor So great a foil by any foreign foe。 Now will the
Christian miscreants be glad�察 �Ringing with joy their superstitious bells�察�
And making bonfires for my overthrow�此�But�察�ere I die�察�those foul idolaters
Shall make me bonfires with their filthy bones�察�For�察�though the glory of
this day be lost�察 �Afric and Greece have garrisons enough To make me
sovereign of the earth again。
TAMBURLAINE。 Those walled garrisons will I subdue�察 �And write
myself great lord of Africa�此�So from the East unto the furthest West Shall
Tamburlaine extend his puissant arm。 The galleys and those pilling
brigandines�察�That yearly sail to the Venetian gulf�察�And hover in the Straits
for Christians' wreck�察 �Shall lie at anchor in the Isle Asant�察 �Until the
Persian fleet and men´of´war�察�Sailing along the oriental sea�察�Have fetch'd
about the Indian continent�察�Even from Persepolis to Mexico�察�And thence
unto the Straits of Jubalter�察�Where they shall meet and join their force in

one。 Keeping in awe the Bay of Portingale�察 �And all the ocean by the
British shore�察�And by this means I'll win the world at last。
BAJAZETH。 Yet set a ransom on me�察�Tamburlaine。
TAMBURLAINE。 What�察�think'st thou Tamburlaine esteems thy gold�拭�
I'll make the kings of India�察�ere I die�察�Offer their mines�察�to sue for peace�察�to
me�察�And dig for treasure to appease my wrath。 Come�察�bind them both�察�
and one lead in the Turk�察�The Turkess let my love's maid lead away�察。�They
bind them。�А�
BAJAZETH。 Ah�察 �villains�察 �dare you touch my sacred arms�拭 �O
Mahomet� �O sleepy Mahomet� �
ZABINA。 O cursed Mahomet�察 �that mak'st us thus The slaves to
Scythians rude and barbarous� �
TAMBURLAINE。 Come�察�bring them in�察�and for this happy conquest
Triumph�察�and solemnize a martial feast。 ��Exeunt。�А�

SCENE I。
Enter the SOLDAN OF EGYPT�察 �CAPOLIN�察 �LORDS�察 �and a
MESSENGER。
SOLDAN。 Awake�察 �ye men of Memphis� �hear the clang Of
Scythian trumpets�察 �hear the basilisks�察 �That�察 �roaring�察 �shake
Damascus' turrets down� �The rogue of Volga holds Zenocrate�察 �The
Soldan's daughter�察 �for his concubine�察 �And�察 �with a troop of thieves and
vagabonds�察�Hath spread his colours to our high disgrace�察�While you�察�faint´
hearted base Egyptians�察�Lie slumbering on the flowery banks of Nile�察�As
crocodiles that unaffrighted rest While thundering cannons rattle on their
skins。
MESSENGER。 Nay�察 �mighty Soldan�察 �did your greatness see The
frowning looks of fiery Tamburlaine�察�That with his terror and imperious
eyes Commands the hearts of his associates�察 �It might amaze your royal
majesty。
SOLDAN。 Villain�察 �I tell thee�察 �were that Tamburlaine As
monstrous as Gorgon prince of hell�察�The Soldan would not start a
foot from him。 But speak�察�what power hath he�拭�
MESSENGER。 Mighty lord�察�Three hundred thousand men in armour
clad�察 �Upon their prancing steeds�察 �disdainfully With wanton paces
trampling on the ground�察�Five hundred thousand footmen threatening shot�察�
Shaking their swords�察 �their spears�察 �and iron bills�察 �Environing their
standard round�察 �that stood As bristle´pointed as a thorny wood�察 �Their
warlike engines and munition Exceed the forces of their martial me
