Tamburlaine [to Zenocrate]:
I am a Lord, for so my deeds shall proove,
And yet a shepheard by my Parentage:
But Lady, this faire face and heavenly hew,
Must grace his bed that conquers Asia:
And meanes to be a terrour to the world,
Measuring the limits of his Emperie
By East and west, as Phœbus doth his course:
And yet a shepheard by my Parentage:
But Lady, this faire face and heavenly hew,
Must grace his bed that conquers Asia:
And meanes to be a terrour to the world,
Measuring the limits of his Emperie
By East and west, as Phœbus doth his course:
Lie here ye weedes that I disdaine to weare,
[Takes off shepheards cloak.]
This compleat armor, and this curtle-axe
Are adjuncts more beseeming Tamburlaine.
Are adjuncts more beseeming Tamburlaine.
And Maddam, whatsoever you esteeme
Of this successe, and losse unvallued,
Both may invest you Empresse of the East:
And these that seeme but silly country Swaines,
May have the leading of so great an host,
As with their waight shall make the mountains quake,
Even as when windy exhalations,
Fighting for passage, tilt within the earth.
Of this successe, and losse unvallued,
Both may invest you Empresse of the East:
And these that seeme but silly country Swaines,
May have the leading of so great an host,
As with their waight shall make the mountains quake,
Even as when windy exhalations,
Fighting for passage, tilt within the earth.
– Christopher Marlowe, Tamburlaine, The First Part, act I, scene ii (1590)
