Calyphas Quotes in Tamburlaine
AMYRAS: Why may not I, my lord, as well as he,
Be termed a scourge and terror of the world?
TAMBURLAINE: Be all a scourge and terror to the world,
Or else you are not sons of Tamburlaine.
But now, my boys, leave off, and list to me,
That mean to teach you rudiments of war.
I'll have you learn to sleep upon the ground,
March in your armour thorough watery fens,
Sustain the scorching heat and freezing cold,
Hunger and thirst, right adjuncts of the war.
And after this, to scale a castle wall,
Besiege a fort, […]
I know, sir, what it is to kill a man—
It works remorse of conscience in me;
I take no pleasure to be murderous
Nor care for blood when wine will quench my thirst.
