Well hast thou pourtray'd in thy terms of life The face and personage of a wondrous man: Nature doth strive with Fortune and his stars To make him famous in accomplish'd worth; And well his merits shew him to be made His fortune's master and the king of men, That could persuade, at such a sudden pinch, With reasons of his valour and his life, A thousand sworn and overmatching foes. Then, when our powers in points of swords are join'd, And clos'd in compass of the killing bullet, Though strait the passage and the port be made That leads to palace of my brother's life, Proud is his fortune if we pierce it not; And, when the princely Persian diadem Shall overweigh his weary witless head, And fall, like mellow'd fruit, with shakes of death, In fair Persia noble Tamburlaine Shall be my regent, and remain as king.
