And give you equal place in our affairs。 

    MEANDER。 Most happy emperor�察�in humblest terms I vow my 

service to your majesty�察�With utmost virtue of my faith and duty。 

    COSROE。 Thanks�察�good Meander。Then�察�Cosroe�察�reign�察�And govern 

Persia in her former pomp。 Now send embassage to thy neighbour kings�察�

And let them know the Persian king is chang'd�察�From one that knew not 

what a king should do�察�To one that can command what 'longs thereto。 And 

now we will to fair Persepolis With twenty thousand expert soldiers。 The

Farewell�察�lord regent and his happy friends。 I long to sit upon my brother's 

throne。 

     MEANDER。 Your   majesty shall shortly have your   wish�察�And ride  in 

triumph      through     Persepolis。     ��Exeunt     all   except    TAMBURLAINE�察�

THERIDAMAS�察�TECHELLES�察�and USUMCASANE。�А�

     TAMBURLAINE。 And ride in triumph through Persepolis� �Is it not 

brave   to   be   a   king�察  �Techelles�拭  �Usumcasane   and   Theridamas�察  �Is   it   not 

passing brave to be a king�察�And ride in triumph through Persepolis�拭�

     TECHELLES。 O�察�my lord�察�it is sweet and full of pomp� �

     USUMCASANE。 To be a king is half to be a god。 

     THERIDAMAS。            A   god   is  not  so  glorious    as  a  king�此  �I  think  the 

pleasure they enjoy in heaven�察�Cannot compare with kingly joys in 

earth�察  �To   wear   a   crown   enchas'd   with   pearl   and   gold�察  �Whose   virtues 

carry   with   it   life   and   death�察  �To   ask   and   have�察  �command   and   be   obey'd�察�

When      looks   breed    love�察 �with   looks    to  gain   the  prize�察 �Such    power 

attractive shines in princes' eyes。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Why�察�say�察�Theridamas�察�wilt thou be a king�拭�

     THERIDAMAS。 Nay�察�though I praise it�察�I can live without it。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 What say my other friends�拭�will you be kings�拭�

     TECHELLES。 I�察�if I could�察�with all my heart�察�my lord。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 Why�察�that's well said�察�Techelles�此�so would I�察�And 

so would you�察�my masters�察�would you not�拭�

     USUMCASANE。 What�察�then�察�my lord�拭�

     TAMBURLAINE。 Why�察�then�察�Casane�察�shall we wish for aught 

The   world   affords   in   greatest   novelty�察  �And   rest   attemptless�察  �faint�察  �and 

destitute�拭�Methinks we should not。 I am strongly mov'd�察�That if I should 

desire   the   Persian   crown�察  �I   could   attain   it   with   a   wondrous   ease�此  �And 

would     not   all   our  soldiers   soon  consent�察  �If  we   should    aim   at  such  a 

dignity�拭�

     THERIDAMAS。 I know they would with our persuasions。 

     TAMBURLAINE。   Why�察  �then�察  �Theridamas�察  �I'll   first   assay   To   get   the 

Persian   kingdom  to   myself�察  �Then   thou   for   Parthia�察  �they  for   Scythia   and 

Media�察�And�察�if I prosper�察�all shall be as sure As if the Turk�察�the Pope�察�Afric�察�

     TECHELLES。   Then   shall   we   send   to   this   triumphing   king�察�And   bid 

him battle for his novel crown�拭�

    USUMCASANE。 Nay�察�quickly�察�then�察�before his room be hot。 

     TAMBURLAINE。 'Twill prove a pretty jest�察�in faith�察�my friends。 

     THERIDAMAS。 A jest to charge on twenty thousand men� �I judge the 

purchase more important far。 

     TAMBURLAINE。             Judge    by   thyself�察  �Theridamas�察     �not   me�察   �For 

presently Techelles here shall haste To bid him battle ere he pass too far�察�

And lose more labour than the gain will quite�此�Then shalt thou see 

this     Scythian    Tamburlaine      Make    but   a  jest  to  win  the  Persian 

crown。   Techelles�察  �take   a   thousand   horse   with   thee�察  �And   bid   him   turn 

him back to war with us�察�That only made him king to make us sport�此�

We   will   not   steal   upon   him   cowardly�察  �But   give   him   warning   and 

more     warriors�此   �Haste    thee�察  �Techelles�察   �we   will   follow    thee。   ��Exit 

TECHELLES。�А�What saith Theridamas�拭�

press'd   out   fire   from   their   burning   jaws�察  �So   will   I   send   this   monstrous 

slave to hell�察�Where flames shall ever feed upon his soul。 

     MEANDER。 Some powers divine�察�or else infernal�察�mix'd Their angry 

seeds   at   his   conception�察  �For   he   was   never   sprung   of   human   race�察�

Since   with   the   spirit   of   his   fearful   pride�察  �He   dares   so   doubtlessly

turned to a manly shape�察�Or of what mould or mettle he be made�察�What 

star or fate soever govern him�察�Let us put on our meet encountering 

minds�察  �And�察  �in   detesting   such   a   devilish   thief�察  �In   love   of   honour   and 

defence of right�察  �Be arm'd against   the hate   of such a   foe�察�Whether   from 

earth�察�or hell�察�or heaven he grow。
