  1. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    CHORUS:                                            His Second Part,
       Where Death cuts off the progress of his pomp
       And murderous Fates throw all his triumphs down.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    Tamburlaine the Great, Part 2, “Prologue,” ll. 3-5 (c. 1587)

  2. A quotation from Christopher Marlowe

    CHORUS: From jigging veins of rhyming mother-wits,
       And such conceits as clownage keeps in pay,
       We’ll lead you to the stately tent of war,
       Where you shall hear the Scythian Tamburlaine
       Threatening the world with high astounding terms,
       And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword.
       View but his picture in this tragic glass,
       And then applaud his fortunes as you please.

    Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
    Tamburlaine the Great, Part 1, “Prologue” (1586-1587)
