13841 The good time of day to you, sir.

13852 I also wish it to you: I thinke this Honorable Lord

1386did but try vs this other day.

13871 Vpon that were my thoughts tyring when wee en-

1388countred. I hope it is not so low with him as he made it

1389seeme in the triall of his seuerall Friends.

13902 It should not be, by the perswasion of his new Fea-

1391sting.

13921 I should thinke so. He hath sent mee an earnest in-

1393uiting, which many my neere occasions did vrge mee to

1394put off: but he hath coniur'd mee beyond them, and I

1395must needs appeare.

13962 In like manner was I in debt to my importunat bu-

1397sinesse, but he would not heare my excuse. I am sorrie,

1398when he sent to borrow of mee, that my Prouision was

1399out.

14001 I am sicke of that greefe too, as I vnderstand how all

1401things go.

14022 Euery man heares so: what would hee haue borro-

1403wed of you?

14041 A thousand Peeces.

14052 A thousand Peeces?

14061 What of you?

14072 He sent to me sir--- Heere he comes.

1409Tim. With all my heart Gentlemen both; and how

1410fare you?

14111 Euer at the best, hearing well of your Lordship.

14122 The Swallow followes not Summer more willing,

1413then we your Lordship.

1414Tim. Nor more willingly leaues Winter, such Sum-

1415mer Birds are men. Gentlemen, our dinner will not re-

1416compence this long stay: Feast your eares with the Mu-

1417sicke awhile: If they will fare so harshly o'th'Trumpets

1418sound: we shall too't presently.

14191 I hope it remaines not vnkindely with your Lord-

1420ship, that I return'd you an empty Messenger.

1421Tim. O sir, let it not trouble you.

14222 My Noble Lord.

1423Tim. Ah my good Friend, what cheere?

14252 My most Honorable Lord, I am e'ne sick of shame,

1426that when your Lordship this other day sent to me, I was

1427so vnfortunate a Beggar.

1428Tim. Thinke not on't, sir.

14292 If you had sent but two houres before.

1430Tim. Let it not cumber your better remembrance.

1431Come bring in all together.

14322 All couer'd Dishes.

14331 Royall Cheare, I warrant you.

14343 Doubt not that, if money and the season can yeild it

14351 How do you? What's the newes?

14363 Alcibiades is banish'd: heare you of it?

1437Both. Alcibiades banish'd?

14383 'Tis so, be sure of it.

14391 How? How?

14402 I pray you vpon what?

1441Tim. My worthy Friends, will you draw neere?

14423 Ile tell you more anon. Here's a Noble feast toward

14432 This is the old man still.

14443 Wilt hold? Wilt hold?

14452 It do's: but time will, and so.

14463 I do conceyue.

1447Tim. Each man to his stoole, with that spurre as hee

1448would to the lip of his Mistris: your dyet shall bee in all

1449places alike. Make not a Citie Feast of it, to let the meat

1450coole, ere we can agree vpon the first place. Sit, sit.

1451The Gods require our Thankes.

1452You great Benefactors, sprinkle our Society with Thanke-

1453fulnesse. For your owne guifts, make your selues prais'd: But

1454reserue still to giue, least your Deities be despised. Lend to each

1455man enough, that one neede not lend to another. For were your

1456Godheads to borrow of men, men would forsake the Gods. Make

1457the Meate be beloued, more then the Man that giues it. Let

1458no Assembly of Twenty, be without a score of Villaines. If there

1459sit twelue Women at the Table, let a dozen of them bee as they

1460are. The rest of your Fees, O Gods, the Senators of Athens,

1461together with the common legge of People, what is amisse in

1462them, you Gods, make suteable for destruction. For these my

1463present Friends, as they are to mee nothing, so in nothing blesse

1464them, and to nothing are they welcome.

1465Vncouer Dogges, and lap.

1466Some speake. What do's his Lordship meane?

1467Some other. I know not.

1468Timon. May you a better Feast neuer behold

1469You knot of Mouth-Friends: Smoke, & lukewarm water

1470Is your perfection. This is Timons last,

1471Who stucke and spangled you with Flatteries,

1472Washes it off and sprinkles in your faces

1473Your reeking villany. Liue loath'd, and long

1474Most smiling, smooth, detested Parasites,

1475Curteous Destroyers, affable Wolues, meeke Beares:

1476You Fooles of Fortune, Trencher-friends, Times Flyes,

1477Cap and knee-Slaues, vapours, and Minute Iackes.

1478Of Man and Beast, the infinite Maladie

1479Crust you quite o're. What do'st thou go?

1480Soft, take thy Physicke first; thou too, and thou:

1481Stay I will lend thee money, borrow none.

1482What? All in Motion? Henceforth be no Feast,

1483Whereat a Villaine's not a welcome Guest.

1484Burne house, sinke Athens, henceforth hated be

1485Of Timon Man, and all Humanity. Exit

14871 How now, my Lords?

14882 Know you the quality of Lord Timons fury?

14893 Push, did you see my Cap?

14904 I haue lost my Gowne.

14911 He's but a mad Lord, & nought but humors swaies

1492him. He gaue me a Iewell th'other day, and now hee has

1493beate it out of my hat.

1494Did you see my Iewell?

14952 Did you see my Cap.

14963 Heere 'tis.

14974 Heere lyes my Gowne.

14981 Let's make no stay.

14992 Lord Timons mad.

15003 I feel't vpon my bones.

15014 One day he giues vs Diamonds, next day stones.
