In the brief prologue to Tamburlaine, Marlowe not only clearly announced the character of that play, but hinted at the programme which he proposed to carry out in the future. Here is that prologue: From jigging veins of rhyming mother wits And such conceits as clownage keeps in pay. We'll lead you to the stately tents of war Where you shall hear the Scythian Tamburlaine Threatening the world with high astounding terms And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword. "The place and the value of Christopher Marlowe as a leader among English poets would be almost impossible for historical criticism to over- estimate. To none of them all, perhaps, have so many of the greatest among them been so deeply and so directly indebted. Nor was ever any great writer's influence upon his fellows more utterly and unmixedly an influence for good. He first, and he alone, guided Shakespeare into the right way of work; his music. in which there is no echo of any man's before him, found its own echo in the more prolonged but hardly more exalted harmony of Milton's. He is the greatest discoverer, the most daring and inspired pioneer, in all our poetic literature. Before him there was neither genuine blank verse nor a genuine tragedy in our language
