TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT
WHO, FROM A SCYTHIAN SHEPHERD, BY HIS RARE AND WONDER-
FUL CONQUESTS, BECAME A MOST PUISSANT AND MIGHTY MON-
ARCH AND (FOR HIS TYRANNY, AND TERROR IN WAR) WAS
TERMED THE SCOURGE OF GOD.
THE TWO TRAGICAL DISCOURSES OF
MIGHTY TAMBURLAINE, THE
SCYTHIAN SHEPHERD, ETC.
THE PROLOGUE.
FROM JIGGING VEINS OF RHYMING MOTHER WITS,
AND SUCH CONCEITS AS CLOWNAGE KEEPS IN PAY,
WE'LL LEAD YOU TO THE STATELY TENT OF WAR,
WHERE YOU SHALL HEAR THE SCYTHIAN TAMBURLAINE
THREAT'NING THE WORLD WITH HIGH ASTOUNDING TERMS
AND SCOURGING KINGDOMS WITH HIS CONQUERING SWORD.
VIEW BUT HIS PICTURE IN THIS TRAGIC GLASS,
AND THEN APPLAUD HIS FORTUNES AS YOU PLEASE.
