The second phase (Acts iii-v) introduces a largely new set of characters, led by Bajazeth the Turkish emperor.
OED cites 1 Tambudaine as containing the first recorded use of regreet: Bajazeth says to a messenger he is sending to the king of Persia, "if before he sun have measured heaven / With triple circuit thou regreet us not, / We mean to take his morning's next arise / For messenger he will not be reclaimed, / And mean to fetch thee in despite of him" (3.
sigs H1v-H2r) In 1 Tamburlaine, Bajazeth makes precisely the opposite complaint: My empty stomach, full of idle heat, Draws bloody humours from my feeble parts, Preserving life by hasting cruel death.
