The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 1


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.
