are not, where you will,
And let the end of this my fatal journey
Be likewise end to my accursed life.

TECHELLES. No, madam, but the [153] beginning of your joy:
Come willingly therefore.

THERIDAMAS. Soldiers, now let us meet the general,
Who by this time is at Natolia,
Ready to charge the army of the Turk.
The gold and [154] silver, and the pearl, ye got,
Rifling this fort, divide in equal shares:
This lady shall have twice so much again
Out of the coffers of our treasury.
[Exeunt.]

SCENE V.

Enter CALLAPINE, ORCANES, the KINGS OF JERUSALEM, TREBIZON,
and SORIA, with their train, ALMEDA, and a MESSENGER.

MESSENGER. Renowmed [155] emperor, mighty [156] Callapine,
God's great lieutenant over all the world,
Here at Aleppo, with an host of men,
Lies Tamburlaine, this king of Persia,
(In number more than are the [157] quivering leaves
Of Ida's forest, where your highness' hounds
With open cry pursue the wounded stag,)
Who means to girt Natolia's walls with siege,
Fire the town, and over-run the land.

CALLAPINE. My royal army is as great as his,
That, from the bounds of Phrygia to the sea
Which washeth Cyprus with his brinish waves,
Covers the hills, the valleys, and the plains.
Viceroys and peers of Turkey, play the men;
Whet all your [158] swords to mangle Tamburlaine,
His sons, his captains, and his followers:
By Mahomet, not one of them shall live!
The field wherein this battle shall be fought
For ever term'd [159] the Persians' sepulchre,
In memory of this our victory.

ORCANES. Now he that calls himself the [160] scourge of Jove,
The emperor of the world, and earthly god,
Shall end the warlike progress he intends,
And travel headlong to the lake of hell,
Where legions of devils (knowing he must die
Here in Natolia by your [161] highness' hands),
All brandishing their [162] brands of quenchless fire,
Stretching their monstrous paws, grin with [163] their teeth,
And guard the gates to entertain his soul.

CALLAPINE. Tell me, viceroys, the number of your men,
And what our army royal is esteem'd.

KING OF JERUSALEM. From Palestina and Jerusalem,
Of Hebrews three score thousand fighting men
Are come, since last we shew'd your [164] maj
