Comments on the preparation of the E-Text:

ANGLE BRACKETS:
Any place where angle brackets are used, i.e. < >, it is a change made
during the preparation of this E-Text. The original printed book did not
use this character at all.
SQUARE BRACKETS:
The square brackets, i.e. [ ] are copied from the printed book, without
change, except that the stage directions usually do not have closing
brackets. These have been added.
FOOTNOTES:
For this E-Text version of the book, the footnotes have been
consolidated at the end of the play.
Numbering of the footnotes has been changed, and each footnote is
given a unique identity in the form . One aditional footnote
<> has been inserted.
Many of the footnotes refer back to notes to "The First Part Of
Tamburlaine the Great." These references have been copied and
inserted into the notes to this play.
CHANGES TO THE TEXT:
Character names were expanded. For Example, TAMBURLAINE was
TAMB., ZENOCRATE was ZENO., etc.

ACT I.
SCENE I.
Enter ORCANES king of Natolia, GAZELLUS viceroy of Byron,
URIBASSA,<4> and their train, with drums and trumpets.
ORCANES. Egregious viceroys of these eastern parts, Plac'd by the
issue of great Bajazeth, And sacred lord, the mighty Callapine, Who
lives in Egypt prisoner to that slave Which kept his father in an iron
cage,-- Now have we march'd from fair Natolia Two hundred leagues,
and on Danubius' banks Our warlike host, in complete armour, rest,

Where Sigismund, the king of Hungary, Should meet our person to
conclude a truce: What! shall we parle with the Christian? Or cross the
stream, and meet him in the field?
GAZELLUS. King of Natolia, let us treat of peace: We all are glutted
with the Christians' blood, And have a greater foe to fight against,--
Proud Tamburlaine, that now in Asia, Near Guyron's head, doth set his
conquering feet, And means to fire Turkey as he goes: 'Gainst him, my
lord, you must address your power.
URIBASSA. Besides, King Sigismund hath brought from Christendom
More than his camp of stout Hungarians,-- Sclavonians, Almains,
Rutters,<5> Muffs, and Danes, That with the halberd, lance, and
murdering axe, Will hazard that we might
