The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 2


Act: 2 Scene: 2
And now come we to make his sinowes shake,
With greater power than erst his pride hath felt,
An hundred kings by scores wil bid him armes,
And hundred thousands subjects to each score:
Which if a shower of wounding thunderbolts
Should breake out off the bowels of the clowdes
And fall as thick as haile upon our heads,
In partiall aid of that proud Scythian,
Yet should our courages and steeled crestes,
And numbers more than infinit of men,
Be able to withstand and conquer him.
Hel and confusion light upon their heads,
That with such treason seek our overthrow,
And cares so litle for their prophet Christ.

Act: 2 Scene: 3
See here the perjur'd traitor Hungary,
Bloody and breathlesse for his villany.
Tis but the fortune of the wars my Lord,
Whose power is often proov'd a myracle.
