PROLOGUE.

  • The general welcomes Tamburlaine received,
  • When he arrivèd last upon the1 stage,
  • Hath made our poet pen his Second Part,
  • Where death cuts off the progress of his pomp,
  • And murderous fates throw, all his trmmphs down.
  • But what became of fair Zenocrate,
  • And with how many cities' sacrifice
  • He celebrated her sad2 funeral,
  • Himself in presence shall unfold at large.
