The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 1


Act: 5 Scene: 1
Wel met my only deare Zenocrate,
Though with the losse of Egypt and my Crown.
Mighty hath God and Mahomet made thy hand
(Renowmed Tamburlain) to whom all kings
Of force must yeeld their crownes and Emperies:
And I am pleasde with this my overthrow,
If as beseemes a person of thy state,
Thou hast with honor usde Zenocrate.
I yeeld with thanks and protestations
Of endlesse honor to thee for her love.
