The Works of Christopher Marlowe

Tamburlaine Part 2


Act: 3 Scene: 1
And I as many bring from Trebizon,
Chio, Famastro, and Amasia,
All bordring on the Mare-major sea:
Riso, Sancina, and the bordering townes,
That touch the end of famous Euphrates.
Whose courages are kindled with the flames,
The cursed Scythian sets on all their townes,
And vow to burne the villaines quell heart.

Act: 3 Scene: 5
From Trebizon in Asia the lesse,
Naturalized Turks and stout Bythinians
Came to my bands full fifty thousand more,
That fighting, knowes not what retreat doth meane,
Nor ere returne but with the victory,
Since last we numbred to your majesty.
The common souldiers of our mighty hoste
Shal bring thee bound unto the Generals tent.
Away, let us to the field, that the villaine may be slaine.
