There, having sack'd Borno, the kingly seat,
I took the king and led him bound in chains
Unto Damascus,<59> where I stay'd before.

TAMBURLAINE. Well done, Techelles!--What saith Theridamas?

THERIDAMAS. I left the confines and the bounds of Afric,
And made<60> a voyage into Europe,
Where, by the river Tyras, I subdu'd
Stoka, Podolia, and Codemia;
Then cross'd the sea and came to Oblia,
And Nigra Silva, where the devils dance,
Which, in despite of them, I set on fire.
>From thence I cross'd the gulf call'd by the name
Mare Majore of the inhabitants.
Yet shall my soldiers make no period
Until Natolia kneel before your feet.

TAMBURLAINE. Then will we triumph, banquet and carouse;
Cooks shall have pensions to provide us cates,
And glut us with the dainties of the world;
Lachryma Christi and Calabrian wines
Shall common soldiers drink in quaffing bowls,
Ay, liquid gold, when we have conquer'd him,<61>
Mingled with coral and with orient<62> pearl.
Come, let us banquet and carouse the whiles.
[Exeunt.]
