The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 2


Act: 5 Scene: 1
Thou desperate Governour of Babylon,
To save thy life, and us a litle labour,
Yeeld speedily the citie to our hands,
Or els be sure thou shalt be forc'd with paines,
More exquisite than ever Traitor felt.
The sturdy Governour of Babylon,
That made us all the labour for the towne,
And usde such slender reckning of your majesty.
I will my Lord.
Then have at him to begin withall.
I, good my Lord, let us in hast to Persea,
And let this Captaine be remoov'd the walles,
To some high hill about the citie here.
