be opposite Even till the dissolution of the world, And never meant to make a conqueror So famous as is [169] mighty Tamburlaine) Shall so torment thee, and that Callapine, That, like a roguish runaway, suborn'd That villain there, that slave, that Turkish dog, To false his service to his sovereign, As ye shall curse the birth of Tamburlaine. CALLAPINE. Rail not, proud Scythian: I shall now revenge My father's vile abuses and mine own. KING OF JERUSALEM. By Mahomet, he shall be tied in chains, Rowing with Christians in a brigandine About the Grecian isles to rob and spoil, And turn him to his ancient trade again: Methinks the slave should make a lusty thief. CALLAPINE. Nay, when the battle ends, all we will meet, And sit in council to invent some pain That most may vex his body and his soul. TAMBURLAINE. Sirrah Callapine, I'll hang a clog about your neck for running away again: you shall not trouble me thus to come and fetch you.-- But as for you, viceroy[s], you shall have bits, And, harness'd [170] like my horses, draw my coach; And, when ye stay, be lash'd with whips of wire: I'll have you learn to feed on [171] provender, And in a stable lie upon the planks. ORCANES. But, Tamburlaine, first thou shalt [172] kneel to us, And humbly crave a pardon for thy life. KING OF TREBIZON. The common soldiers of our mighty host Shall bring thee bound unto the [173] general's tent [.] KING OF SORIA. And all have jointly sworn thy cruel death, Or bind thee in eternal torments' wrath. TAMBURLAINE. Well, sirs, diet yourselves; you know I shall have occasion shortly to journey you. CELEBINUS. See, father, how Almeda the jailor looks upon us! TAMBURLAINE. Villain, traitor, damned fugitive, I'll make thee wish the earth had swallow'd thee! See'st thou not death within my wrathful looks? Go, villain, cast thee headlong from a rock, Or rip thy bowels, and rent [174] out thy heart, T' appease my wrath; or else I'll torture thee, Searing thy hateful flesh with burning irons And drops of scalding lead, while all thy joints Be rack'd and beat asunder with the wheel; For, if thou liv'st, not any element Shall shroud thee from the wrath of Tamburlaine. CALLAPINE. Well
