“Not at all, but — Tamerlane and the like — Bombastes Furioso, and King Cambyses vein to the " storekeepers" and labourers of republican America.”

Inferred Fuller’s words — “Not at all, but — Tamerlane and the like — Bombastes Furioso, and King Cambyses vein to the " storekeepers" and labourers of republican America.” — point to A Lamentable Tragedy Mixed Full of Pleasant Mirth, Containing the Life of Cambises, King of Persia, but she does not give the work’s full title or author here; the identification of the specific work is the editor’s.
