And shining stones upon their lofty crests�察�Now living idle in the walled
towns�察 �Wanting both pay and martial discipline�察 �Begin in troops to
threaten civil war�察�And openly exclaim against their king�此�Therefore�察�
to stay all sudden mutinies�察 �We will invest your highness emperor�察�
Whereat the soldiers will conceive more joy Than did the Macedonians at
the spoil Of great Darius and his wealthy host。
COSROE。 Well�察�since I see the state of Persia droop And languish in
my brother's government�察�I willingly receive th' imperial crown�察�And vow
to wear it for my country's good�察�In spite of them shall malice my estate。
ORTYGIUS。 And�察�in assurance of desir'd success�察�We here do crown
thee monarch of the East Emperor of Asia and Persia�察�Great lord
of Media and Armenia�察�Duke of Africa and Albania�察�Mesopotamia and of
Parthia�察�East India and the late´discover'd isles�察�Chief lord of all the wide
vast Euxine Sea�察�And of the ever´raging Caspian Lake。
ALL。 Long live Cosroe�察�mighty emperor� �
COSROE。 And Jove may never let me longer live Than I may
seek to gratify your love�察�And cause the soldiers that thus honour me To
triumph over many provinces� �By whose desires of discipline in arms I
doubt not shortly but to reign sole king�察�And with the army of Theridamas
��Whither we presently will fly�察 �my lords�撮� To rest secure against my
brother's force。
ORTYGIUS。 We knew�察 �my lord�察 �before we brought the crown�察�
Intending your investion so near The residence of your despised brother�察�
The lords would not be too exasperate To injury or suppress

your worthy title�察�Or�察�if they would�察�there are in readiness Ten thousand
horse to carry you from hence�察�In spite of all suspected enemies。
COSROE。 I know it well�察�my lord�察�and thank you all。
ORTYGIUS。 Sound up the trumpets�察�then。 ��Trumpets sounded。�А�
ALL。 God save the king� 。�Exeunt。�А�

SCENE II。
Enter TAMBURLAINE leading ZENOCRATE�察 �TECHELLES�察�
USUMCASANE�察 �AGYDAS�察 �MAGNETES�察 �LORDS�察 �and SOLDIERS
loaden with treasure。
TAMBURLAINE。 Come�察 �lady�察 �let not this appal your thoughts�察 �The
jewels and the treasure we have ta'en Shall be reserv'd�察�and you in better
state Than if you were arriv'd in Syria�察�Even in the circle of your father's
arms�察�The mighty Soldan of Aegyptia。
ZENOCRATE。 Ah�察 �shepherd�察 �pity my distressed plight� 。�If�察 �as thou
seem'st�察�thou art so mean a man�撮� And seek not to enrich thy followers By
lawless rapine from a silly maid�察�Who�察�travelling with these Median
lords To Memphis�察 �from my uncle's country of Media�察 �Where�察 �all my
youth�察 �I have been governed�察 �Have pass'd the army of the mighty Turk�察�
Bearing his privy´signet and his hand To safe´conduct us thorough
Africa。
MAGNETES。 And�察 �since we have arriv'd in Scythia�察 �Besides rich
presents from the puissant Cham�察 �We have his highness' letters to
command Aid and assistance�察�if we stand in need。
TAMBURLAINE。 But now you see these letters and commands Are
countermanded by a greater man�察�And through my provinces you must
expect Letters of conduct from my mightiness�察�If you intend to keep your
treasure safe。 But�察�since I love to live at liberty�察�As easily may you get the
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�
11

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
