<l>Tamburlaine the great</l>
<l>Who, from a scythian shepherd, by his rare and wonder-</l>
<l>Ful conquests, became a most puissant and mighty mon-</l>
<l>Arch and (for his tyranny, and terror in war) was</l>
<l>Termed the scourge of god.</l>
<l>The two tragical discourses of</l>
<l>Mighty Tamburlaine, the</l>
<l>Scythian shepherd, etc.</l>
<l>The prologue.</l>
<l>From jigging veins of rhyming mother wits,</l>
<l>And such conceits as clownage keeps in pay,</l>
<l>We'll lead you to the stately tent of war,</l>
<l>Where you shall hear the scythian Tamburlaine</l>
<l>Threat'ning the world with high astounding terms</l>
<l>And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword.</l>
<l>View but . . .
