http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sidney#Injury_and_death

<<[Sir Philip Sidney (30 November 1554 - 17 October 1586)]
joined Sir John Norris in the Battle of Zutphen, fighting for
the Protestant cause against the Spanish. During the battle,
he was shot in the thigh & died of gangrene *26* days later.

According to the story, while lying wounded he gave his water
to another wounded soldier, saying, "Thy necessity is yet
greater than mine". As he lay dying, Sidney composed a song to
be sung by his deathbed. Sidney's body was interred in the Old
St. Paul's Cathedral on 16 February 1587. [Sidney] had become
for many English people the very epitome of a Castiglione
courtier: learned and politic, but at the same time generous,
brave, and impulsive. The funeral procession was one of the
most elaborate ever staged, so much so that his father-in-law,
Francis Walsingham, almost went bankrupt. Never more than a
marginal figure in the politics of his time, he was memorialised
as the flower of English manhood in Edmund Spenser's Astrophel,
one of the greatest English Renaissance elegies. An early
biography of Sidney was written by his friend & schoolfellow,
Fulke Greville: Recorder of Stratford (1606-1628).>>

Acted in the Year 1614. By the LADY ELIZABETH'S Servants.
And then dedicated to KINGJ AMES, of most blessed Memory.

. . . . . Act IV. Scene VI.

Trouble-all, Knockhum, Whit, Quarlous, Edgworth, Bristle,
. Waspe, Haggise, Justice, Busy, Pure-*CRAFT*.

Knockhum: Ha! mad Child o' the *PYE*-pouldres, art thou
there? fill us a fresh Kan, Urs, we may drink together.
........................................................
Quarlous: Keep it for your Companions in beastliness, I
am none of 'em, Sir. If I had not already forgiven you
a greater trespass, or thought you yet worth my beating,
I would instruct you{R MANNERS}, to whom you made your
offers. But go your ways, talk not to me, the Hangman
is only fit to discourse with you; the hand of Beadle is
too merciful a punishment for your Trade of life. I am
sorry I employ'd this *FELLOW*; for he thinks me such:
Fascinus quos inquinat, æquat. But, it was for sport. And
would I make it serious, the getting of this License is
nothing to me, without other circumstances concur.
I do think how impertinently I labour, if the word be
not mine, that the ragged Fellow mark'd: And what
advantage I have given [NED Win-wife] in this time now,
of working her, though it be mine.
........................................................
. . . . . Act V. Scene III.

Lan. A better way, Sir, that is too Learned and Poe-
. tical for our Audience, what, do they know what Helle-
. spont is? Guilty of true Loves Blood? or what Abidos is?
. or the other Sestos height?

Cok. Th' art i' the right, I do not know my self.

Lan. No, I have entreated Master Little-wit to take
. a little pains to reduce it to a more familiar
. strain for our people.

Cok. How, I pray thee, good Master Little-wit.

Joh. It pleases him to make a matter of it, Sir.
. But there is no such matter, I assure you: I have only
. made it a little easie, and Modern for the Times, Sir,
. that's all: As for the Hellespont, I imagine our Thames
. here; and then *LEANDER* I make a [DYER]'s Son about
. Puddle-Wharf; and Hero a Wench o' the Bank-side, who
. going over one Morning to Old-Fishstreet, *LEANDER*
. spies her land at Trigs-Stairs, and falls in Love with
. her: Now do I introduce Cupid, having Metamor-
. phos'd himself into a Drawer, and he strikes Hero in
. love with a Pint of Sherry, and other pretty passages
. there are o' the friendship, that will delight you, Sir,
. and please you of Judgment.

Cok. I'll be sworn they shall: I am in Love with
. the Actors already, and I'll be allied to them pre-
. sently. (They respect Gentlemen, these Fellows:)
. Hero shall be my Fairing: But which of my Fairings?
. (Le' me see) i' faith, my Fiddle! and *LEANDER* my
. Fiddle-stick: Then Damon my Drum; and Pythias
. my Pipe, and the Ghost of Dionysius my Hobby-Horse.
. All fitted.

Gra. Faith the same they have of themselves, Sir.
. I cannot greatly complain, if this were all the Plea
. I had against 'em.

Win-w. 'Tis true! but will you please to withdraw with
. us a little, and make them think they have lost you.
. I hope ou{R MANNERS} ha' been such hitherto, and our
. Lan-guage, as will give you no Cause, to doubt your
. self in our Company.

Gra. Sir, I will give my self no cause; I am
. so secure of mine own {MANNERS}, as I suspect not yours.
.....................................................
. . . . . Act V. Scene IV.

Lan. Gentiles, that no longer yonr Expectations may wander,
. Behold our chief Actor, amorous *LEANDER*.
. With a great deal of Cloth, lapp'd about him like a Scarf,
. For he yet serves his Father, a [DYER] at Puddle-Wharf,
. Which place we'll make bold with, to call it our Abidus,
. As the Bank-side is our Sestos; and let it not be deny'd us.
. Now as he is beating, to make the Dye take the fuller,
. Who chances to come by, but Fair Hero, in a Sculler;
. And seeing *LEANDER*'s naked Leg, and goodly Calf,
. Cast at him from the Boat a Sheeps Eye and an half.
. Now she is landed, and the Sculler come back,
. By and by you shall see what *LEANDER* doth lack.

Pup. L. Cole, Cole, Old Cole.
Lan. That is the Sculler's Name, without controle.
Pup. L. Cole, Cole, I say, Cole.
Lan. We do hear you.
Pup. L. Old Cole.

Lan. Old Cole? Is th[E DYER] turn'd Collier? how do you sell?

Pup.L. A Pox o'you{R MANNERS}, kiss my hole here, and smell.

Lan. Kiss your hole and smell? there's {MANNERS} indeed.

Meleagrus, I feare this smooth tale hath but small

is of hier degree more meete for a mightie Prince, than
for a simple knight, and thou like a periured traitor
hath bereft her of her parents, to their present griefe,

Ah Dorastus, I shame to expresse that thou forcest me

I loue thee, because I am a shepherd, but the gods know

<<Tamburlaine the Great is a play in two parts by Christopher MARLOWE.
It is loosely based on the life of the Central Asian emperor,
Timur (Tamerlane/Timur the Lame, d. 1405).

. In Part 2, Tamburlaine forces the defeated kings to
. pull his chariot to his next battlefield, declaring,

. . . *Holla ye pampered jades of Asia!
. . What, can ye draw but twenty miles a day?*

Upon reaching Babylon, which holds out against him, Tamburlaine displays further acts of extravagant savagery. When the Governor of the city attempts to save his life in return for revealing the city treasury, Tamburlaine has him hung from the city walls and shot. He orders the inhabitants — men, women, and children — bound and thrown into a nearby lake. Lastly, Tamburlaine scornfully burns a copy of the Qur'an and claims to be greater than God. In the final act, he is struck ill but manages to defeat one more foe before he dies. He bids his sons to conquer the remainder of the earth as he departs life.>>

<< "... the Knights (of Rhodes/St. John), having lost their
stronghold ... to Timur the Lame ("Tamburlaine",) in 1402,
were establishing a new base at Bodrum, the site of the ancient
Halicarnassus and its famous Mausoleum, stone from which was used
in the construction of the Christian fortress dedicated to St. Peter.

The castle of St. Peter provides a striking witness to English
participation. Over the gateway to one of its towers, known
as the English Tower, *26* coats of arms were set up in stone,
including *NEVILLE*, Percy, Holland, *BEAUCHAMP*, *BURLEIGH*,
*STRANGE*, Arundel, MONTAGUE, *DE VERE* (, and King Henry IV)>>

I saw a play, The Dyers Hand, at Willowcreek Church, which is a megachurch in our northwest suburbs. The church is so mega in fact, that everyone belonging to the megachurch is a pastor! The play concerned the intrigue of hiding the Jewish identity. The protagonist produced the cloth used for the clothing, flags, etc. in the town, so he had the very identifiable blue color on his hands.
I remember the beautiful music.
