The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 2

Act: 3 Scene: 1
Jerusalem
And I as many from Jerusalem,
Judæa , Gaza, and Scalonians bounds,
That on mount Sinay with their ensignes spread,
Looke like the parti-coloured cloudes of heaven,
That shew faire weather to the neighbor morne.
Jerusalem
Your Majesy may choose some pointed time,
Perfourming all your promise to the full:
Tis nought for your majesty to give a kingdome.
Act: 3 Scene: 5
Jeruselem
From Palestina and Jerusalem,
Of Hebrewes, three score thousand fighting men
Are come since last we shewed your majesty.
Jerusalem
By Mahomet he shal be tied in chaines,
Rowing with Christians in a Brigandine,
About the Grecian Isles to rob and spoile:
And turne him to his ancient trade againe.
Me thinks the slave should make a lusty theefe.
Act: 4 Scene: 1
Jerusalem
Thy victories are growne so violent,
That shortly heaven, fild with the meteors
Of blood and fire thy tyrannies have made,
Will poure down blood and fire on thy head:
Whose scalding drops wil pierce thy seething braines,
And with our bloods, revenge our bloods on thee.
Jerusalem
O damned monster, nay a Feend of Hell,
Whose cruelties are not so harsh as shine,
Nor yet imposd, with such a bitter hate.
Act: 4 Scene: 3
Jeruselem
Ah cruel Brat, sprung from a tyrants loines,
How like his cursed father he begins,
To practize tauntes and bitter tyrannies?
Jerusalem
O mercilesse infernall cruelty.
Act: 5 Scene: 1
Jerusalem
Rather lend me thy weapon Tamburlain,
That I may sheath it in this breast of mine,
A thousand deathes could not torment our hearts
More than the thought of this dooth vexe our soules.
