Tamburlaine Monologue

From Tamburlaine by Christopher Marlowe

male · defiant · 48 sec

Judge by thyself, Theridamas, not me; For presently Techelles here shall haste To bid him battle ere he pass too far, And lose more labour than the gain will quite: Then shalt thou see this Scythian Tamburlaine Make but a jest to win the Persian crown.-- Techelles, take a thousand horse with thee, And bid him turn him back to war with us, That only made him king to make us sport: We will not steal upon him cowardly, But give him warning and more warriors: Haste thee, Techelles; we will follow thee. What saith Theridamas?
