The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 1

Act: 1 Scene: 2
Usumcasane
And making thee and me Techelles, kinges,
That even to death will follow Tamburlaine.
Usumcasane
Come let us meet them at the mountain foot,
And with a sodaine and an hot alarme
Drive all their horses headlong down the hill.
Usumcasane
And kingdomes at the least we all expect,
Besides the honor in assured conquestes:
Where kings shall crouch unto our conquering swords,
And hostes of souldiers stand amaz'd at us,
When with their fearfull tongues they shall confesse
Theise are the men that all the world admires.
Usumcasane
Long may Theridamas remaine with us.
Act: 2 Scene: 5
Usumcasane
To be a King, is halfe to be a God.
Usumcasane
What then my Lord ?
Usumcasane
Nay quickly then, before his roome be hot.
Act: 2 Scene: 7
Usumcasane
For as when Jove did thrust old Saturn down,
Neptune and Dis gain'd each of them a Crowne,
So do we hope to reign in Asia,
If Tamburlain be plac'd in Persea .
All
Tamburlaine, Tamburlaine.
All
Long live Tamburlaine, and raigne in Asia.
Act: 3 Scene: 2
Usumcasane
Faith, and Techelles, it was manly done:
And since he was so wise and honorable,
Let us affoord him now the bearing hence.
And crave his triple worthy buriall.
Act: 3 Scene: 3
Usumcasane
Let him bring millions infinite of men,
Unpeopling Westerne Affrica and Greece:
Yet we assure us of the victorie.
Usumcasane
What Coward wold not fight for such a prize?
Act: 4 Scene: 4
Usumcasane
Villain, knowest thou to whom thou speakest?
Usumcasane
Nay, twere better he kild his wife, and then she shall be sure not to be starv'd, and he be provided for a mon- eths victuall before hand.
Act: 5 Scene: 1
Omnes
Opitie us.
Usumcasane
And here's the crown my Lord, help set it on.
