The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 1


Act: 3 Scene: 2
See you Agidas how the King salutes you.
He bids you prophesie what it import.
Usumcasane, see how right the man
Hath hit the meaning of my Lord the King.
Agreed Casane, we wil honor him.

Act: 3 Scene: 3
The more he brings, the greater is the spoile,
For when they perish by our warlike hands,
We meane to seate our footmen on their Steeds,
And rifle all those stately Janisars.
Puissant, renowmed and mighty Tamburlain,
Why stay we thus prolonging all their lives?
We have their crownes, their bodies strowe the fielde.
