The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 1


Act: 3 Scene: 1
Most great and puisant Monarke of the earth,
Your Bassoe will accomplish your behest:
And show your pleasure to the Persean,
As fits the Legate of the stately Turk.

Act: 3 Scene: 3
Your men are valiant but their number few,
And cannot terrefie his mightie hoste.
Mv Lord. the great Commander of the worlde.
Besides fifteene contributorie kings,
Hath now in armes ten thousand Janisaries,
Mounted on lusty Mauritanian Steeds,
Brought to the war by men of Tripoly :
Two hundred thousand footmen that have serv'd
In two set batters fought in Grecia :
And for the expedition of this war,
If he think good, can from his garrisons,
Withdraw as many more to follow him.
Such as his Highnesse please, but some must stay
To rule the provinces he late subdude.
