Autoplay

The line in Act II Scene VI
of Tamburlaine The Great by Marlowe,
'Nobly resolv'd, my good Ortygius',
you might air (crow)
after a loyal companion's resolution
to face an indomitable foe;

and might ever after by-name him-her that;

and yourself be by-named
'King', 'Persia' and 'Cosroe'.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

17.4.21. Cosroe is the king of Persia who said the line to faithful Ortygius. Perhaps a female would have the name Ortygia, which happens to also be the name of an island in the Sicilian city of Syracuse. Picture is of Marlowe.
