Турецкий царь Баязет и его дочь Астерия томятся в плену у татар. Одержав победу над своими многочисленными врагами, татарский хан Тамерлан хочет освободить своих пленников. Весть о помиловании приносит Баязету греческий князь Андронник, влюблённый в дочь Баязета Астерию. Баязет гордо отказывается принять милость от Тамерлана. Он предпочитает смерть. Баязет хочет заколоться кинжалом. Андронник останавливает его напоминанием о дочери. Андронник также получает свободу. Но он отказывается покинуть двор Тамерлана, не желая расставаться с Астерией. Тамерлан принимает отказ Андронника за выражение преданности победителю. В награду он предлагает ему в жёны трапезундскую принцессу Ирену, на которой он сам раньше собирался жениться. При этом Тамерлан открывает Андроннику, что он страстно полюбил турецкую царевну Астерию, и поручает Андроннику сообщить ей о своём намерении жениться на ней. Андронник, боясь навлечь на себя гнев Тамерлана, вынужден скрывать свои чувства к Астерии. Когда до Астерии доходит известие о том, что Андронник женится на Ирене, она впадает в страшный гнев. Пришедшего от имени Тамерлана Андронника она встречает презрительным молчанием. На предложение Тамерлана за неё отвечает Баязет решительным отказом. Андронник не знает, как ему истолковать молчание Астерии. Весть о женитьбе Тамерлана на Астерии доходит и до Ирены. Ирена искренне любит татарского хана. Она приходит в отчаяние от измены Тамерлана. Андронник советует ей требовать от Тамерлана исполнения данного ей обещания, надеясь, что этим он сохранит Астерию для себя. Действие второе. Астерия в порыве отчаяния и гнева, желая отомстить Андроннику, даёт Тамерлану согласие стать его женой. Тамерлан делится этой радостной вестью с поражённым Андронником. Андронник спешит объясниться с Астерией. Астерия настаивает на выполнении своего решения. Она втайне рассчитывает убить Тамерлана. Астерию уводят в царские покои. Ирена, переодетая служанкой, проникает также во дворец Тамерлана и жестоко упрекает хана в неверности. Разгневанный её смелыми речами, Тамерлан велит передать Ирене, чтобы она готовилась к свадьбе с Андронником. Астерия даёт понять Ирене, что она приложит все усилия, чтобы вернуть ей любовь Тамерлана. Тем временем Баязет узнаёт, что Астерия дала согласие стать женой хана, его злейшего врага. Он врывается в покои Тамерлана, бросается перед троном на землю. Лишь перешагнув через труп своего отца, Астерия взойдёт на этот трон. Тамерлан велит страже схватить и увести Баязета. Астерия всходит на ступеньки трона. В это мгновение в зал вбегает Ирена. Где же обещание, данное Астерией? Астерия уступает место Ирене. Разгневанный обманом Астерии, Тамерлан грозит умертвить её. Убедившись, что Астерия не любит Тамерлана, Андронник раскаивается в своих подозрениях. Действие третье. Двор ханского дворца, окружённый стражей. Астерия и Баязет ждут смерти. Баязет даёт дочери яд, чтобы она смертью спаслась от позора. Тамерлану жаль терять Астерию. Он велит передать ей, что её место рядом с ним не занято, что он любит её по-прежнему. Андронник, которого Тамерлан просит переговорить с Астерией, под разными предлогами старается отказаться от этого поручения, чем навлекает на себя подозрения хана. Андронник вынужден признаться в своей любви к Астерии. Тамерлан приходит в неистовую ярость. В гневе он решает казнить Андронника и Баязета, а Астерию отдать в жёны самому последнему рабу. Узнав о том, что Астерия в немилости, Ирена спешит во дворец. В зале, приготовленном для торжественного пира, появляется Тамерлан с торжествующей Иреной. Мстительный хан хочет перед казнью унизить своих пленников. Он прощает Андронника; Астерии он приказывает прислуживать за столом, как рабыне. Пользуя этим, Астерия насыпает в кубок Тамерлана яд. Это замечает Ирена; разъярённый Тамерлан велит Астерии самой выпить из этого кубка, а потом поднести его Баязету и Андроннику. Но Андронник отнимает у Астерии яд. Тогда Тамерлан придумывает для своих пленников новое унижение. Он велит отдать Астерию рабам, которые должны опозорить её на глазах у отца. Услышав это приказание, Баязет, будучи не в силах перенести мучения, принимает яд. Умирая, он призывает все силы ада отомстить за него жестокому Тамерлану. Потрясённый гибелью Баязета, Тамерлан уступает просьбам Ирены и Андронника и освобождает Астерию. Андронник увозит её с собой в Грецию. 1 00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:26,122 Step forth, good my Lord, you have your liberty through all this palace 2 00:07:29,462 --> 00:07:40,532 I know it well, my Prince; to you I owe this short-lived liberty 3 00:07:40,573 --> 00:07:47,103 A debt less grievous, since I owe it to you 4 00:07:47,147 --> 00:07:52,244 No, Bajazet, to Tamerlano you owe it 5 00:07:52,285 --> 00:07:59,817 You talk of Tamerlano? I will accept no freedom from his hands 6 00:07:59,859 --> 00:08:05,593 Whom I scarce think worthy to drag my chain 7 00:08:05,632 --> 00:08:07,395 Have you some pity for me? 8 00:08:07,433 --> 00:08:10,596 You grieve my soul, even when you ask the question 9 00:08:10,637 --> 00:08:12,298 Then lend your sword! 10 00:08:12,338 --> 00:08:16,172 O good my Lord! That must not, cannot be. No, never! 11 00:08:16,209 --> 00:08:21,704 You will not? Then you have no pity for me 12 00:08:21,748 --> 00:08:29,655 What you refuse, my strong will shall give me: this cuts me out a way to liberty 13 00:08:29,689 --> 00:08:33,682 Or by your death, or mine 14 00:08:33,726 --> 00:08:34,715 Back! 15 00:08:34,761 --> 00:08:36,729 Alas! You are... 16 00:08:36,763 --> 00:08:40,028 I still am Bajazet 17 00:08:40,066 --> 00:08:47,939 A captive though I am, I will own as the gift to Tamerlano 18 00:08:47,974 --> 00:08:57,872 Neither liberty, nor life. I am resolved on dying, call it reason 19 00:08:57,917 --> 00:09:00,408 Or pride 20 00:09:00,453 --> 00:09:05,413 Nay, stop, what would you do? You'd leave the world? Leave Asteria? 21 00:09:06,459 --> 00:09:19,463 Aye, you wake a tender passion in my mind that shocks constancy itself to think of 22 00:09:22,308 --> 00:09:33,583 That is the only sting, that makes death dreadful, the leaving of my child 23 00:09:33,620 --> 00:09:37,818 In what distress, ye Gods, would she be left! 24 00:09:37,857 --> 00:09:44,023 You deal too harshly with a ruined man 25 00:09:44,063 --> 00:09:49,057 Here I stand bent with the weight of bondage, and my rude foe insults me 26 00:09:49,102 --> 00:09:55,268 I grasp the very means of my revenge, yet lose it 27 00:09:55,308 --> 00:10:03,272 I can die, can if I please, but in steps fatal love 28 00:10:04,584 --> 00:10:08,987 And puts a bar between me and my hopes. Death's a bliss I must not think of 29 00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:32,276 I with the smiling face of joy could march serenely on to die 30 00:10:32,312 --> 00:10:39,684 Had you not named my child 31 00:11:57,163 --> 00:12:05,127 If not for her sorrow, how full of pride, how void of fear 32 00:12:05,171 --> 00:12:14,842 Could I resolve, but that my dear makes resolution wild 33 00:14:49,268 --> 00:14:58,301 Trust this desperate man not out of sight! In him you serve Asteria 34 00:14:58,344 --> 00:15:08,242 She must be kind to a lover, that does love her father 35 00:15:09,388 --> 00:15:11,219 Prince 36 00:15:11,257 --> 00:15:17,492 The Greeks have now placed the empire in my power 37 00:15:17,530 --> 00:15:25,369 And it is a gift to you. Tamerlano usurps not the dominions 38 00:15:25,404 --> 00:15:32,776 He conquers, and takes to give. I do declare you Emperor 39 00:15:32,812 --> 00:15:39,581 At your pleasure you may set out and find Byzantium yours 40 00:15:40,052 --> 00:15:42,543 Oh! My good Lord 41 00:15:42,588 --> 00:15:46,991 Great is the gift and great the giver, but... 42 00:15:47,660 --> 00:15:49,389 You decline the offer? 43 00:15:49,428 --> 00:15:51,658 Not so, my Lord 44 00:15:51,697 --> 00:15:58,967 But a moment's warning to be gone! Fain would I wear the world's great victor 45 00:15:59,005 --> 00:16:05,274 Stay, read conquest's rules and learn the trade of war 46 00:16:05,778 --> 00:16:13,480 Andronicus, I freely do consent, nay, more, I wish it 47 00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:23,258 I feared in you an impatient zeal for governing. But now your stay must help me 48 00:16:23,296 --> 00:16:25,696 To subdue a stubborn foe 49 00:16:25,731 --> 00:16:30,566 What enemy remains for you to conquer? My Lord, all of my blood... 50 00:16:30,603 --> 00:16:33,504 There is no need of any bloodshed 51 00:16:33,539 --> 00:16:39,341 To get the better of a captive foe, who, now, has nothing left to defend but his pride 52 00:16:39,378 --> 00:16:48,810 This Ottoman! I fain would have the merit of uniting us 53 00:16:48,854 --> 00:16:51,618 Be yours 54 00:16:51,657 --> 00:16:56,560 Uniting you? Just Heavens! 55 00:16:56,595 --> 00:17:04,764 That were indeed the sum of all my wishes. Amidst the bitter woe and grief of Bajazet 56 00:17:04,804 --> 00:17:09,639 At length his conqueror himself is conquered 57 00:17:09,675 --> 00:17:14,612 No, Prince, the conquest was not gained by the grief of Bajazet 58 00:17:14,647 --> 00:17:17,047 Much less by his fury 59 00:17:17,083 --> 00:17:19,074 Whence then this mysterious change? 60 00:17:19,118 --> 00:17:26,490 To his own issue, he bequeathed the power of having full revenge 61 00:17:26,525 --> 00:17:29,323 I love his daughter; To my soul I love her 62 00:17:31,263 --> 00:17:33,959 What do I hear, ye Gods! 63 00:17:33,999 --> 00:17:40,461 Ah yes, too true, I love her, I adore her, lost beyond hopes 64 00:17:40,506 --> 00:17:42,440 And you the fault on it all 65 00:17:42,475 --> 00:17:43,806 I? 66 00:17:43,843 --> 00:17:49,281 Yes; when that haughty man raised to the highest pitch my growing fury 67 00:17:49,315 --> 00:17:54,912 You conducted to my feet that fatal charmer 68 00:17:54,954 --> 00:18:02,952 Those sighs, which soft compassion towards her father called for in vain 69 00:18:02,995 --> 00:18:06,260 The love of her obtained 70 00:18:06,298 --> 00:18:09,062 Cursed accident! 71 00:18:09,101 --> 00:18:15,631 And what becomes of your Irene, who, just approaching, seeks your royal bed? 72 00:18:15,674 --> 00:18:21,169 She must not be a wife for me: what if I gave my interest to you? 73 00:18:21,213 --> 00:18:24,478 To me, my Lord? 74 00:18:24,917 --> 00:18:35,020 To you. I cannot make a better choice, nor can you a more noble conquest gain 75 00:18:35,060 --> 00:18:39,394 I ask no other recompense at all, but the bare voice of a consenting father 76 00:18:39,432 --> 00:18:53,438 To place his daughter on a greater throne. From you I hope, nor can I hope in vain 77 00:18:53,479 --> 00:19:00,612 If you but think Irene and an empire are both the gifts 78 00:19:00,653 --> 00:19:04,817 Of your rewarder's hand 79 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,355 When, kind, I send him terms of peace 80 00:19:39,391 --> 00:19:53,397 Sure, in his haughty soul, with case, you'll gentle thoughts inspire 81 00:21:16,622 --> 00:21:26,691 So we'll sweeten the pain, and loosen the chain 82 00:21:26,732 --> 00:21:35,606 That sets his fierce heart all on fire 83 00:23:47,573 --> 00:23:57,107 The Tartar is in love with my Asteria, and I the cause of it! 84 00:23:57,149 --> 00:24:03,520 Dull, thoughtless lover! I could not forsooth what I was doing 85 00:24:03,555 --> 00:24:11,155 To let him see her was to make him love her! 86 00:24:11,196 --> 00:24:17,965 But that's not all the hardship of my case 87 00:24:18,003 --> 00:24:24,909 I must turn treacherous to myself?. How shall I act in this? 88 00:24:24,943 --> 00:24:32,509 At once her lover, monarch and her slave? 89 00:24:32,551 --> 00:24:39,719 Why, to my soul's best power, I would not seem ungrateful for the world 90 00:24:54,606 --> 00:25:02,445 Plead, Asteria, plead my cause 91 00:25:02,481 --> 00:25:14,791 Plead, I can't be false to you while my lips belie my mind 92 00:27:13,946 --> 00:27:27,952 Kindness makes me seem unkind, seeming false is being true 93 00:31:12,417 --> 00:31:20,290 And will the fortunate Andronicus back to the monarchy of Greece return? 94 00:31:20,325 --> 00:31:27,925 On that dread fatal day when Tamerlano vanquished my father 95 00:31:27,966 --> 00:31:39,173 I lost my liberty and lost myself; what else? I loved him then and love him still 96 00:31:39,211 --> 00:31:51,021 But he leaves and neglects to acquire a throne, and leaves me to chains? Ungrateful! 97 00:31:54,426 --> 00:32:06,167 Time forbids me to keep a secret from you that concerns your fortunes 98 00:32:06,204 --> 00:32:16,205 And those of Bajazet, Andronicus and mine: today, if you wish, all resentments will be over 99 00:32:16,248 --> 00:32:22,084 And, to your sire, give liberty and peace 100 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:29,219 You, the world's great conqueror already! There nought remains to fill your sum of glory 101 00:32:29,261 --> 00:32:30,990 But thus to gain a conquest over yourself 102 00:32:31,029 --> 00:32:40,370 Conquered I am, by love; even now, Andronicus does treat with Bajazet! 103 00:32:40,405 --> 00:32:45,866 To confirm and ratify the treaty, your sole consent is wanted 104 00:32:46,578 --> 00:32:48,637 Sure, it is Andronicus that wrought these wonders! 105 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:57,713 The Greek prince is well acquainted with it; he's talking with your father of your nuptials 106 00:32:58,723 --> 00:33:02,819 Of mine! With whom? 107 00:33:02,861 --> 00:33:12,600 With Tamerlano. Yes, fair one, I adore you; and as I vow it to you, you'll believe me 108 00:33:13,505 --> 00:33:23,176 My Lord, if the Greek prince proves this officious instrument, it is fit 109 00:33:23,214 --> 00:33:31,918 Before I change my state, that I'd learn, from his own mouth, this sudden turn of fate 110 00:33:31,956 --> 00:33:37,189 Freely I wield to it, nay more; I beg it 111 00:33:37,228 --> 00:33:43,895 The Greek can't otherwise than act for me, for I restore him to a throne 112 00:33:43,935 --> 00:33:48,599 And give Irene to his bed for you 113 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,165 - Whom, said my Lord? - Irene 114 00:33:51,209 --> 00:33:53,336 - To Andronicus? - Just so 115 00:33:53,378 --> 00:33:55,403 And he accepts the offer? 116 00:33:55,447 --> 00:34:08,793 Asteria, take time for this weighty counsel. Listen to the Greek and persuade your father 117 00:34:08,827 --> 00:34:19,169 One has two thrones for his reward; the other, liberty and peace and life 118 00:34:21,406 --> 00:34:26,901 Think of all this; on you alone depends the power 119 00:34:26,945 --> 00:34:38,982 To make your father easy, your friend still greater and a conqueror happy 120 00:35:04,549 --> 00:35:13,617 Give me peace, oh lovely fair! Peace shall be your father's share 121 00:36:24,496 --> 00:36:33,803 Past resentments be appeased, by the pains my heart have seized 122 00:38:49,407 --> 00:38:58,111 Serves Asteria the faithless Greek as his tool to mount him up to greatness? 123 00:38:58,149 --> 00:39:08,184 Unworthy man! This is my faithful lover that turns mediator for my greatest foe 124 00:39:08,226 --> 00:39:22,232 Solicits an ignoble marriage, alas! How often has he sworn in vain? 125 00:39:55,273 --> 00:40:04,477 Let him, if he will depart, let at least, oh, let the traitor 126 00:40:04,515 --> 00:40:15,517 False, perfidious, perjured creature to my self restore my heart 127 00:41:53,858 --> 00:42:02,926 Let him not such slights discover if he still would keep the prize 128 00:42:02,967 --> 00:42:12,865 Else neglected heart, give over passions that offend his eyes 129 00:45:29,874 --> 00:45:31,967 I'll hear no more on it 130 00:45:32,009 --> 00:45:35,410 At least give attention to the resolves of fair Asteria 131 00:45:35,446 --> 00:45:37,573 She is my daughter 132 00:45:37,615 --> 00:45:42,643 Go not away from us, my child, we treat of something that concerns you near 133 00:45:42,686 --> 00:45:48,522 Ah! If she consents, then I'm lost 134 00:45:48,559 --> 00:45:56,398 Concerns me, sir? Room for further doubts. I read confusion in the traitor's eyes 135 00:45:56,434 --> 00:45:57,924 For I know 136 00:45:57,968 --> 00:46:03,031 Your heart exactly corresponds with mine: I've answered for you 137 00:46:03,074 --> 00:46:04,200 Pray on what head? 138 00:46:04,241 --> 00:46:14,708 Our mortal enemy... How the bare mention calls up the blood of vengeance to my face! 139 00:46:14,752 --> 00:46:26,357 Through Andronicus requests you in marriage, and peace and freedom sends as bribes to me 140 00:46:26,397 --> 00:46:33,633 Does he know, impious man, I hate to be his debtor, even for life? 141 00:46:34,238 --> 00:46:38,140 And says Asteria nothing to all this? 142 00:46:38,175 --> 00:46:46,844 Child, you stand mute?

I am now called away by Tamerlano 38 00:08:13,335 --> 00:08:27,147 No, court me no more.
