+ celebrated] "The word 'celebrated' occurs in both the old editions, but may well be dispensed with as regards both the sense and measure. "Ed. 1826. "I think this word got into the text from either the author or printer, who was perhaps the editor, doubting whether to use‘solemnize' or 'celebrate ;' and it slipt from the margin, where it was probably placed, into the verse itself." J. M. in Gent. Mag. for Jan. 1841.

THE PROLOGUE.

The general welcomes Tamburlaine receiv'd,
When he arrivèd last upon the⁕ stage,

Hath made our poet pen his Second Part,
Where Death cuts off the progress of his pomp,

And murderous Fates throw† all his triumphs‡ down.
But what became of fair Zenocrate,

And with how many cities' sacrifice

He celebrated her sad§ funeral,

Himself in presence shall unfold at large.
