- 3:39Speaker 1: hall in Timon's house. Enter, poet, painter, jeweler, merchant, and
- 3:45Speaker 1: the others at several doors.
- 3:48Speaker 17: Good day, sir, I am glad you're well.
- 3:51Speaker 18: I have not seen you long. How goes the world?
- 3:55Speaker 17: It worse, sir, as it grows.
- 3:57Speaker 18: Ay, that's well known. But what particular rarity, what strange
- 4:02Speaker 18: which manifold record not matches? See magic of bounty? All
- 4:10Speaker 18: these spirits thy power hath conjured to attend. I know
- 4:15Speaker 18: the merchant, I know them both others.
- 4:18Speaker 15: A jeweler, oh tis a worthy lord.
- 4:21Speaker 13: Nay, that's most fixed.
- 4:23Speaker 15: A most incomparable man breathed as it were, to an
- 4:27Speaker 15: untirable and continuous goodness. He passes.
- 4:31Speaker 13: I have a jewel here.
- 4:33Speaker 15: Oh, pray, let's see it for the Lord timand sir.
- 4:36Speaker 13: If he will touch the estimate.
- 4:38Speaker 1: But for that reciting to himself.
- 4:41Speaker 18: When we for recompense have praised the vile. It stains
- 4:46Speaker 18: the glory in that happy verse which aptly sings the
- 4:51Speaker 18: good tis a good.
- 4:52Speaker 13: Form, looking at the jewel and rich here is a water.
- 4:57Speaker 17: Lookye you are rap sir, in some work, some dedication
- 5:02Speaker 17: to the great Lord.
- 5:04Speaker 18: A thing slipped idly from me. Our poesy is as
- 5:08Speaker 18: a gum which oozes from whence tis nourished. The fire
- 5:12Speaker 18: of the flint shows not till it be struck. Our
- 5:16Speaker 18: gentle flame provokes itself, and like the current flies each
- 5:21Speaker 18: bound it chafes.
- 5:23Speaker 17: What have you there a picture, sir? When comes your
- 5:27Speaker 17: book forth.
- 5:28Speaker 18: Upon the heels of my presentment?
- 5:30Speaker 26: Sir?
- 5:31Speaker 18: Let's see your piece tis a good piece? So tis
- 5:35Speaker 18: this comes off well and excellent, indifferent, admirable. How this
- 5:41Speaker 18: grace speaks his own standing. What a mental power this
- 5:46Speaker 18: eye shoots forth? How big imagination moves in this lip.
- 5:52Speaker 18: To the dumbness of the gesture, one might interpret.
- 5:56Speaker 17: It is a pretty mocking of the life. Here is
- 5:59Speaker 17: a touch ist good, I.
- 6:01Speaker 18: Will say of it. It tutors nature. Artificial strife lives
- 6:06Speaker 18: in these touches, livelier than life.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Enter certain senatus and pass over.
- 6:12Speaker 18: How this lord is followed the senators of Athens. Happy man,
- 6:18Speaker 18: Look more, you see this confluence, this great flood of visitors,
- 6:24Speaker 18: I have in this rough work shaped out a man
- 6:28Speaker 18: whom this beneath world doth embrace and hug with amplest entertainment.
- 6:34Speaker 18: My free drift halts not particularly, but moves itself in
- 6:38Speaker 18: a wide sea of wax. No leveled malice infects one
- 6:44Speaker 18: comma in the course I hold, but flies an eagle
- 6:47Speaker 18: flight bold and forth on, leaving no tract behind.
- 6:51Speaker 17: How shall I understand you?
- 6:53Speaker 18: I will unbolt to you. You see how all conditions,
- 6:58Speaker 18: how all minds, as well well of glib and slippery creatures,
- 7:02Speaker 18: as of grave and austere quality, tendered down their services
- 7:07Speaker 18: to Lord Tymon, his large fortune, upon his good and
- 7:11Speaker 18: gracious nature, hanging subdues and properties to his love and tendants,
- 7:16Speaker 18: all sorts of hearts. Yea, from the glass faced flatterer
- 7:20Speaker 18: to Apimantus, that few things loves better than to abhor himself,
- 7:26Speaker 18: even he drops down the knee before him and returns
- 7:29Speaker 18: in peace most rich in Timond's nod.
- 7:33Speaker 17: I saw them speak together.
- 7:35Speaker 18: Sir, I have upon a high and pleasant hill feigned
- 7:38Speaker 18: fortune to be throned the base of the mount is
- 7:42Speaker 18: ranked with all deserts, all kinds of natures that labor
- 7:46Speaker 18: on the bosom of this sphere to propagate their states,
- 7:50Speaker 18: amongst them, all whose eyes are on this sovereign lady
- 7:54Speaker 18: fixed one, do I personate of Lord Tymond's frame, whom Fortune,
- 7:59Speaker 18: with her ivory hand wafts to her, whose present grace
- 8:04Speaker 18: to present slaves and servants translates his rivals.
- 8:08Speaker 17: Tis conceiv'd to scolpe this throne, this fortune, and this
- 8:12Speaker 17: hil methinks with one man beckoned from the rest below,
- 8:16Speaker 17: bowing his head against a sleepy mount to climb, his
- 8:19Speaker 17: happiness would be well expressed in our condition.
- 8:23Speaker 18: Nay, sir, But hear me on all those which were
- 8:26Speaker 18: his fellows, but of late, some better than his value
- 8:30Speaker 18: on the moment follow his strides, his lobbies fill with tendants, rain,
- 8:36Speaker 18: sacrificial whisperings in his ear, make sacred even his stirrup,
- 8:41Speaker 18: and through him drink the free air.
- 8:44Speaker 17: I marry what of these?
- 8:47Speaker 18: When Fortune, in her shift and change of mood, spurns
- 8:51Speaker 18: down her late beloved, all his dependence which labor'd after
- 8:55Speaker 18: him to the mountain's top, even on their knees and hands,
- 9:00Speaker 18: let him slip down, not one accompanying his declining foot.
- 9:06Speaker 17: Tis common a thousand moral paintings. I can show that
- 9:10Speaker 17: shall demonstrate these quick blows of fortunes more pregnantly than words.
- 9:16Speaker 17: Yet you do well to show, Lord Tamid that mean
- 9:19Speaker 17: eyes have seen the fault above the head.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Trumpets sound, enter Timon, addressing himself cautiously to every suitor.
- 9:29Speaker 1: A messenger from Ventidius talking with him, Lucilius and other
- 9:33Speaker 1: servants following.
- 9:35Speaker 2: In prison, does he say, you, ay, my good lord?
- 9:39Speaker 16: Five talents? Is his debt, his means, most short, his
- 9:43Speaker 16: creditors most straight, your honorable letter, he desires to those
- 9:48Speaker 16: have shut him up, which, failing period is comfort.
- 9:52Speaker 25: Noble Ventidius. Well, I am not of that feather to
- 9:55Speaker 25: shake off my friend when he must need me. I
- 9:57Speaker 25: do know him, a gentleman that well deserves the help
- 9:59Speaker 25: which he shall have. I'll pay the debt and free him.
- 10:02Speaker 16: Your lordship, ever bind him, commend.
- 10:05Speaker 25: Me to him, I will send his ransom, and, being enfranchised,
- 10:09Speaker 25: bid him come to me. Tis not enough to help
- 10:11Speaker 25: the feebob, but to support him.
- 10:13Speaker 16: After fare you well, all happiness to your honor.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Exit and to an old Athenian.
- 10:22Speaker 25: Lord tyble, he'll bespeak freely, good father, lo.
- 10:28Speaker 21: Haster servant named Lucilius.
- 10:32Speaker 25: I have saw what of him.
- 10:33Speaker 21: Most neighbled Tamn called the bird before.
- 10:38Speaker 25: They a tency here, and no Lucilius.
- 10:41Speaker 14: Here at your lordship's service.
- 10:44Speaker 21: This fellow here, Lord Tymn, this they create her by name,
- 10:51Speaker 21: if free quench may hers, I am abandon that trip
- 10:55Speaker 21: by fast? Have he declined to thrift? And my state
- 11:00Speaker 21: deserves an hour more reason than one which holds a treasuer. Well,
- 11:07Speaker 21: what further, one only daughter? Have I no king else
- 11:14Speaker 21: on whom I may confer what I have got. The
- 11:19Speaker 21: maid is fair for the youngest for a bride, and
- 11:24Speaker 21: I have bred her at my dearest cost, in qualities
- 11:30Speaker 21: of the best. This man of thine attempts her love.
- 11:36Speaker 21: I prithee, noble lord, joined with me to forbid him
- 11:42Speaker 21: her resort. Myself have spoke in vain. The man is honest,
- 11:48Speaker 21: therefore he will be a tiban. His honesty rewards him
- 11:54Speaker 21: in itself. It must not bear my daughter?
- 11:59Speaker 25: Does she love him?
- 12:00Speaker 21: She is young and apt our inn presented passion to instructors.
- 12:06Speaker 1: What leberties in youth too, Lucilius.
- 12:11Speaker 14: Love you the maid I my good lord, and she
- 12:14Speaker 14: accepts of it.
- 12:15Speaker 21: If in her body she may consent to be busy,
- 12:20Speaker 21: I call the gods to witness. I will choose by
- 12:23Speaker 21: her from forth the beggars of the world and dispossess
- 12:28Speaker 21: her all.
- 12:30Speaker 25: How shall she be endowed if she be mated with
- 12:32Speaker 25: an equal husband.
- 12:33Speaker 21: Three talents on the present in future.
- 12:37Speaker 25: All this gentleman of mine hath served me long to
- 12:41Speaker 25: build his fortune. I will strain a little for tis
- 12:44Speaker 25: abandoned man. Give him thy daughter. When you bestole in him,
- 12:48Speaker 25: I'll counterpoise and make him away with her.
- 12:51Speaker 21: Most noble Lord poured me to this your honor.
- 12:57Speaker 25: She is his my hand to mine honor and my promise.
- 13:02Speaker 14: Humbly, I thank your lordship. Never may the state or
- 13:05Speaker 14: fortune fall into my keeping which is not owed to you.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Excellant Lucilius and old.
- 13:11Speaker 18: Athenian vouchsafed my labor, and long live your lordship.
- 13:17Speaker 25: I thank you. You shall hear from me Anon, go
- 13:19Speaker 25: not away. What have you there, my friend?
- 13:22Speaker 17: A piece of painting, which I do beseech your lordship
- 13:26Speaker 17: to accept.
- 13:27Speaker 25: Painting is welcome. The painting is almost the natural man
- 13:31Speaker 25: for since dishonor traffics with man's nature he is. But
- 13:33Speaker 25: outside these penciled figures are even such as they give out.
- 13:38Speaker 25: I like your work, and you shall find I like it.
- 13:40Speaker 25: Wait attendance till you hear further from me.
- 13:43Speaker 17: The gods preserve ye welfare.
- 13:45Speaker 25: You gentlemen, give me your hand. We must needs dine together. Sir,
- 13:50Speaker 25: Your jewel has suffered under praise. What my lord dispraise
- 13:55Speaker 25: a mere satiety of commendations. If I should pay you
- 13:58Speaker 25: for it as tis extolled, it would unclue me.
- 14:00Speaker 13: My lord, tis rated as those which sell would give.
- 14:05Speaker 13: But you will know things of like value, differing in
- 14:08Speaker 13: their owners, are prized by their masters belief. Dear Lord,
- 14:12Speaker 13: you mend the jewel by the wearing it well marked.
- 14:16Speaker 15: No, my good lord, he speaks the common tongue which
- 14:19Speaker 15: all men speak with him.
- 14:20Speaker 25: Look who comes here?

- 15:05Speaker 27: Athenian's brains.
- 15:07Speaker 25: That's indeed, thou die for right, if.

- 15:18Speaker 25: the innocent? Wrought? He not well? That painted it?

- 15:57Speaker 25: How doest thou like this jewel, Apimentus?
- 15:59Speaker 27: Not so well as plain dealing, which will not cost
- 16:03Speaker 27: a man a dot?
- 16:05Speaker 25: What dost thou think tis worth?
- 16:07Speaker 27: Not worth my thinking? How now?

- 17:21Speaker 12: Sis?
- 17:21Speaker 16: I'll see biades and some towny horse, all of companionship.

- 17:45Speaker 27: So so there are eggs, contract and stave your supple joints,
- 17:53Speaker 27: that there should be small love amongst these sweet nerves,
- 17:58Speaker 27: and all this curt say the strain of man's bread
- 18:03Speaker 27: out into baboon and monkey.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Sir, you have saved my longing, and I feed most
- 18:11Speaker 2: hungrily on your sight.

- 18:24Speaker 8: Enter two lords, what time O days a pomantus time
- 18:29Speaker 8: to be honest, that time serves still the more.
- 18:34Speaker 27: Accursed thou that still omidst it.
- 18:38Speaker 20: Thou art going to Lord Timman's feast.
- 18:41Speaker 27: I to see mate, fill knaves and wine, hate.
- 18:44Speaker 20: Folds, fare thee well, Fare thee well.
- 18:49Speaker 27: Thou art a fold to bid me farewell twice? Why
- 18:53Speaker 27: apimantus shouldst have kept one to the south, for I
- 18:58Speaker 27: mean to give thee none.
- 19:00Speaker 8: Hang thyself no, I will.
- 19:03Speaker 27: Do nothing to die bidding make thy request to die.
- 19:08Speaker 20: Fo end away, unpeaceable dog, or I'll spurn thee.
- 19:12Speaker 27: Hence thou wilt fly like a dog the heels of
- 19:17Speaker 27: the ass exit.
- 19:20Speaker 8: He so opposit to humanity. Come, Shall we in and
- 19:22Speaker 8: taste Lord Timo's bounting. He outgoes the very heart of kindness.
- 19:28Speaker 20: He pours it out. Plutus, the god of gold, is
- 19:32Speaker 20: but his steward, no need, but he repays sevenfold above itself,
- 19:38Speaker 20: no gift to him, but breeds the giver a return
- 19:41Speaker 20: exceeding all use of quittance.
- 19:44Speaker 8: The noblest minded courage that ever govern man.
- 19:48Speaker 20: Long may he live in fortunes. Shall we in?
- 19:52Speaker 8: I'll keep you company?
- 19:55Speaker 1: Excellent Act one, Scene two. A banquetting room in Timon's house,
- 20:05Speaker 1: hotboys playing loud music, a great banquet served in Flavius
- 20:10Speaker 1: and others attending. Then enter thymon Alcibiades, Lords Senatus and Ventidius.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Then comes dropping after all a Paymantus, discontentedly like himself.
- 20:27Speaker 7: Most honored timond It hath to please the gods to
- 20:29Speaker 7: remember my father's age and call him to long peace.
- 20:33Speaker 7: He has gone happy and has left me rich. Then,
- 20:37Speaker 7: as a grateful virtue, I am bound to your free heart.
- 20:40Speaker 7: I do return those talents doubled with thanks and service
- 20:45Speaker 7: from whose help I derived liberty.
- 20:47Speaker 25: Oh, by no means honest, ventidius, you mistake my love.
- 20:51Speaker 25: I gave it freely. Ever, and there's none can truly
- 20:54Speaker 25: say he gives if he receives. If our betters play
- 20:57Speaker 25: at that game, we must not dare to imitate them.
- 20:59Speaker 25: Forth they are rich, are fair, a noble spirit.
- 21:03Speaker 1: They all stand ceremoniously looking at a time.
- 21:07Speaker 25: And nay, my lords, ceremony was but devised at first
- 21:11Speaker 25: to set a glass on faint deeds. Hollow welcomes recanting goodness. Sorry,
- 21:15Speaker 25: artis shown. But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
- 21:19Speaker 25: Pray sit more welcome, or yeat to my fortunes than
- 21:22Speaker 25: my fortunes to me.
- 21:24Speaker 27: They sit, my.
- 21:25Speaker 8: Lord, we always have confessed.
- 21:27Speaker 27: It, Oh confessed it? And it have you not?
- 21:33Speaker 25: Oh, apimantus, you are welcome.
- 21:36Speaker 27: No, you shall not make me welcome. I come to
- 21:40Speaker 27: have they thrust me out of doors.
- 21:43Speaker 25: Fi ar to churl. You've got a humor there does
- 21:46Speaker 25: not become a man tis much to blame, they say,
- 21:49Speaker 25: my lords, either a fool or brevis est. But yond
- 21:52Speaker 25: man is ever angry. Go let him have a table
- 21:55Speaker 25: by himself, for he does neither affect company, nor is
- 21:58Speaker 25: he fit for it.
- 21:58Speaker 27: Indeed, let me stay at thine apperil tim and I
- 22:03Speaker 27: come to observe. I give THEE warning aunt.
- 22:07Speaker 25: I take no heed of thee. Thou art in Athenian.
- 22:09Speaker 25: Therefore welcome. I myself would have no power prithee. Let
- 22:13Speaker 25: my meat make thee silent.
- 22:15Speaker 27: Ascone the meat two jok me, for I should ne'er
- 22:20Speaker 27: flatter thee. Oh, you gods, what a number of men eat? Timen,
- 22:26Speaker 27: and he sees them not. It graves me to see
- 22:30Speaker 27: so many dip the meat in one man's blood, and
- 22:34Speaker 27: all the madnesses he cheers them up too. Now, wonder
- 22:39Speaker 27: men dare trust themselves with men? Methinks they should invite
- 22:44Speaker 27: them without knives. Good for their meat and safer for
- 22:48Speaker 27: their lives. There's much example. For the fella that sits
- 22:54Speaker 27: next him now parts bread with him, pledges the breath
- 22:58Speaker 27: of him in a divided draft, is the readiest man
- 23:02Speaker 27: to kill him. TuS been proved. If I were a
- 23:06Speaker 27: huge man, I should fear to drink at meals, lest
- 23:11Speaker 27: they should spy my windpipe's dangerous notes. Great men should
- 23:18Speaker 27: drink with nis on their throats.
- 23:21Speaker 25: My lord in heart, and let the health go round.
- 23:25Speaker 20: Let it flow this way. My good lord.
- 23:28Speaker 27: Flew this way a brave fella. He keeps his tides well.
- 23:34Speaker 27: Those else will make thee and the state. Look ill,
- 23:38Speaker 27: timon is that which is too weak to be a
- 23:41Speaker 27: sinner honest watter which ne'er left manny the mire. This
- 23:50Speaker 27: and me food are equals.
- 23:52Speaker 18: There's no odds.
- 23:55Speaker 27: Face are too proud to give. Thanks to the gods.
- 24:00Speaker 27: Apimantus is grace, immortal gods. I crave no pelf. I
- 24:09Speaker 27: pray for no man but meself grant. I may never
- 24:14Speaker 27: prove so fond to trust man on his oath or bond,
- 24:20Speaker 27: or a harlot for a weeping or a dog that
- 24:23Speaker 27: seems asleeping, or a keeper with my freedom. Oh, my friends,
- 24:30Speaker 27: if I should need them, amen, so fall to it.
- 24:37Speaker 27: Rich men sin and I eat rot, eats and drinks
- 24:42Speaker 27: am much good, ditchly good art, Apimantus.
- 24:52Speaker 25: Captain Alcibiades, your heart's in the field now.
- 24:55Speaker 2: My heart is ever at your service, my lord.
- 24:58Speaker 25: You had rather be at a breakfas of enemies than
- 25:00Speaker 25: a dinner of friends.
- 25:02Speaker 2: So they were bleeding new my lord. There's no meat
- 25:06Speaker 2: like them. I wish my best friend. That's such a feast.
- 25:10Speaker 27: With all these flatterers. Were been enemies, then then they
- 25:14Speaker 27: might kill him and bid me to them.
- 25:20Speaker 8: Might we but have that happiness, my Lord, that you
- 25:23Speaker 8: would once use our hearts, whereby we might express some
- 25:27Speaker 8: part of our seals? We should think ourselves forever perfect.
- 25:32Speaker 25: Oh, no doubt, my good friends. But the gods themselves
- 25:35Speaker 25: have provided that I shall have much help from you.
- 25:37Speaker 25: How had you been my friends? Else? Why have you
- 25:40Speaker 25: that charitable title? From thousands? Did not you chiefly belong
- 25:44Speaker 25: to my heart? I have told more of you to
- 25:46Speaker 25: myself than you can with modesty speak in your own behalf?
- 25:50Speaker 25: And thus far I confirm you. Oh you gods, think
- 25:54Speaker 25: I what need we have any friends? If we should
- 25:56Speaker 25: ne'er have need of them? They were the most needless
- 25:58Speaker 25: creatures living, should we near have youth for them? And
- 26:01Speaker 25: would most resemble sweet instruments hung up in cases that
- 26:04Speaker 25: keep their sounds to themselves. Why I have often wished
- 26:07Speaker 25: myself poorer that I might come nearer to you. We
- 26:11Speaker 25: are born to do benefits. And what better or proper
- 26:14Speaker 25: can we call our own than the riches of our friends? Oh,
- 26:18Speaker 25: what a precious comfort is to have so many like brothers,
- 26:21Speaker 25: commanding one another's fortunes. Oh, joy, e'en made away ere
- 26:26Speaker 25: it can be born. Mine eyes cannot hold out water.
- 26:29Speaker 25: Methinks to forget their faults, I drink to you.
- 26:33Speaker 27: Ooh the weepest to back them drank timon.
- 26:38Speaker 20: Joy had the like conception in our eyes, and at
- 26:42Speaker 20: that instant like a babe sprung up.
- 26:46Speaker 27: I love to think that, babe, bastard.
- 26:50Speaker 24: I promise you, my lord, you moved me much much.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Tuck it within?
- 26:56Speaker 25: What means that trump?
- 26:57Speaker 1: And to a servant, how nah please you, my lord?
- 27:02Speaker 6: There are certain ladies most desirous of admittance.
- 27:06Speaker 25: Ladies, what are their wills?
- 27:09Speaker 6: There comes with them a forll onner, my lord, which
- 27:12Speaker 6: there's that office to signify their pleasures.
- 27:16Speaker 4: I pray let them be admitted, and tell cupid hell
- 27:20Speaker 4: to THEE worthy timing and to all that of his
- 27:23Speaker 4: bounty's taste. The five best senses acknowledge THEE their patron,
- 27:29Speaker 4: and come freely to gratulate thy plenteous bosom. The ear taste,
- 27:35Speaker 4: touch and smell pleased from thy tail rise. They only
- 27:40Speaker 4: now come but to feast thine eyes.
- 27:44Speaker 25: They are welcome all let them have kind admittance. Music
- 27:47Speaker 25: make their.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Welcome exit Cupid.

- 27:58Speaker 1: amazons with loots in their hands, dancing and playing.
- 28:02Speaker 27: Oh tell, what a sweep of vanity comes this way?
- 28:09Speaker 27: They dance. They are mad women like madness is the
- 28:15Speaker 27: glory of this life. As this pomp shows to a
- 28:19Speaker 27: little oil and root, we make ourselves fools to dispart
- 28:24Speaker 27: ourselves and spend our flatteries to drink those men upon
- 28:30Speaker 27: whose age we void it up again with poison as
- 28:35Speaker 27: spite and envy. Who lives that's not depraved or depraves?
- 28:42Speaker 27: Who dies that bears not one spurn to their graves
- 28:47Speaker 27: of their friend's gift. I should fear those that dance
- 28:52Speaker 27: before me now with one day stamp upon me. Tas
- 28:56Speaker 27: been done. Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
- 29:02Speaker 1: The lords rise from the table with much adoring of timing,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and to show their loves. Each singles out an amazon
- 29:10Speaker 1: an all dance men with women a lofty strain or
- 29:14Speaker 1: two to the hautboys and sees.
- 29:18Speaker 25: You have done our pleasures much graceful ladies, set a
- 29:21Speaker 25: fair fashion on our entertainment which was not half so
- 29:23Speaker 25: beautiful and kind. You have added worth unto it a
- 29:26Speaker 25: luster and entertained me with mine own device. I am
- 29:29Speaker 25: to thank you for it.

- 29:35Speaker 27: worst is fels there and would not all taken and
- 29:40Speaker 27: doubt me.
- 29:41Speaker 25: Ladies, there is an idle banquet attends you. Please to
- 29:44Speaker 25: dispose yourselves most thankfully.

- 30:06Speaker 11: and he could tis pity bounty had not eyes behind
- 30:09Speaker 11: that man might ne'er be wretched for his mind.

- 31:40Speaker 11: He commands us to provide and give great gifts, and
- 31:43Speaker 11: all out of an empty coffer. Nor will he know
- 31:46Speaker 11: his purse or yield me this? To show him what
- 31:49Speaker 11: a beggar his heart is, being of no power, and
- 31:52Speaker 11: make his wishes good. His promises flyes so beyond his state,
- 31:56Speaker 11: that what he speaks is all in debt. He owes
- 31:59Speaker 11: for every word. He is so kind that he now
- 32:02Speaker 11: pays interest for it. His lands put to their books. Well,
- 32:06Speaker 11: would I were gently put out of office before I

- 32:35Speaker 25: the other day of a bay courser I rode on.
- 32:37Speaker 25: It is yours because you liked it.
- 32:39Speaker 20: Oh, I beseech you pardon me, my lord, in that.
- 32:43Speaker 25: You may take my word. My Lord, I know no
- 32:46Speaker 25: man can justly praise, but what he does affect. I
- 32:48Speaker 25: weigh my friend's affection with mine own. I'll tell you true,
- 32:52Speaker 25: I'll call to you.

- 32:56Speaker 25: I take all, and your several visitations so kind to

- 33:10Speaker 25: charity to THEE. For all thy living is mongst the dead,

- 33:46Speaker 27: out of bones. I doubt whether the legs be worth
- 33:50Speaker 27: the sums that are given forum French ships full of drags.
- 33:56Speaker 27: Methinks false arts should never have sound legs. Thus honest
- 34:01Speaker 27: fools lay out their wealth on curtsies.
- 34:05Speaker 25: Now, apimantus, If thou art not sullen, I would be
- 34:08Speaker 25: good to thee.
- 34:09Speaker 27: No how nothing, For if I should be bribed too,
- 34:14Speaker 27: there would be none left to rail upon thee. And

- 35:48Speaker 9: it five and twenty still in motion of raging waste.

- 35:56Speaker 9: steal butter Beggar's dog and give it Timan while the
- 36:00Speaker 9: dog coins gold. If I would sell my horse and
- 36:03Speaker 9: buy twenty more better than he, why give my horse

- 42:36Speaker 27: If time, and stay at home? You three serve three usurers,
- 42:45Speaker 27: So would I as good a trick as ever hangman
- 42:49Speaker 27: served thief?
- 42:51Speaker 7: Are you three usurers? Men?
- 42:54Speaker 10: Fool?
- 42:55Speaker 7: I think no usurer but has a fool to his servant.
- 42:59Speaker 7: My mistress has one, and I am her fool. When
- 43:02Speaker 7: men come to borrow of your masters, they approach sadly
- 43:05Speaker 7: and go away merry. But they enter my mistress house
- 43:08Speaker 7: merrily and go away sadly. The reason of this I
- 43:13Speaker 7: could render one to.
- 43:15Speaker 27: It, then, that we may account thee a hoo a
- 43:18Speaker 27: master under neve, which, notwithstanding thou shalt be no less esteemed.
- 43:25Speaker 4: What is a horror, master, fool, a.
- 43:28Speaker 7: Fool in good clothes, and something like thee tis a spirit?
- 43:33Speaker 7: Sometimes it appears like a lord, sometime like a lawyer,
- 43:37Speaker 7: some time like a philosopher. With two stones mold than
- 43:41Speaker 7: artificial one. He is very often like a knight. And
- 43:46Speaker 7: generally in all shapes that man goes up and down
- 43:49Speaker 7: in from four score to thirteen, this spirit walks in.
- 43:53Speaker 4: Thou art not altogether a fool.
- 43:57Speaker 7: Nor thou altogether a wise man, as much foolery as
- 44:01Speaker 7: I have so much wit thou lackest.
- 44:05Speaker 27: Oh, that answer might have become a pimantus.
- 44:10Speaker 22: Aside aside, Here comes Lord Tymon, re.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Enter Tymon, and flavius God.
- 44:17Speaker 27: Come with me, fool, Come.
- 44:21Speaker 7: I do not always follow lover, elder, brother and woman.
- 44:26Speaker 7: Sometime the philosopher.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Excellent apaimantus, and fool, pray you walk near.
- 44:33Speaker 11: I'll speak with you.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Anon, excellent servants.
- 44:37Speaker 25: You make me marvel. Wherefore ere this time? Had you
- 44:40Speaker 25: not fully laid my state before me, that I might
- 44:43Speaker 25: so have rated my expense as I had leave of means, you.
- 44:46Speaker 11: Would not hear me as many leisures I proposed.
- 44:50Speaker 25: Go to perchance some single vantages you took when my
- 44:53Speaker 25: indisposition put you back, and that unaptness made your minister
- 44:57Speaker 25: thus to excuse yourself.
- 44:59Speaker 11: Oh my good lord. At many times I brought in
- 45:03Speaker 11: my accounts, laid them before you, you would throw them
- 45:06Speaker 11: off and say you found them in mine honesty. When
- 45:10Speaker 11: for some trifling present you have bid me return so much,
- 45:13Speaker 11: I have shook my head and wept yea against the
- 45:16Speaker 11: authority of manners, prayed you to hold your hand more close.
- 45:21Speaker 11: I did endure not seldom, nor no slight checks. When
- 45:25Speaker 11: I have prompted you in the ebb of your estate
- 45:27Speaker 11: and your great flow of debts, My loved lord, though
- 45:31Speaker 11: you hear now too late, yet now's a time the
- 45:34Speaker 11: greatest of your having lacks the hearth to pay your
- 45:37Speaker 11: present debts.
- 45:38Speaker 25: Let all my land be sold.
- 45:40Speaker 11: Tis all engaged, some forfeited and gone, And what remains
- 45:44Speaker 11: will hardly stop the mouth of present dews. The future
- 45:48Speaker 11: comes apace, what shall defend the interim? And at length
- 45:51Speaker 11: how goes our reckoning tillas?
- 45:53Speaker 25: Demon did my land extend?
- 45:55Speaker 11: Oh, my good lord? The world is but a word?
- 45:58Speaker 11: Were it all yours? To give it in a breath.
- 46:00Speaker 11: How quickly were it gone?
- 46:02Speaker 25: You tell me true.
- 46:04Speaker 11: If you suspect my husbandry or falsehood, call me before
- 46:07Speaker 11: the exactest auditors, and set me on the proof. So
- 46:11Speaker 11: the gods bless me. When all our offices have been
- 46:13Speaker 11: oppressed with riotous feeders, when our vaults have wept with
- 46:17Speaker 11: drunken spills of wine, when every room has blazed with
- 46:20Speaker 11: lights and brayed with minstrelsy, I have retired me to
- 46:24Speaker 11: a wasteful cock, and set mine eyes afloe prithee. No
- 46:28Speaker 11: more heavens have I said the bounty of this lord?
- 46:32Speaker 11: How many prodigal bits have slaves and peasants this nighting glutted?
- 46:37Speaker 11: Who is not Timonds, what heart head soward force means?
- 46:41Speaker 11: But is Lord Tymands, great Timon, noble worthy, royal timan Ah.
- 46:47Speaker 11: When the means are gone by this praise, the breath
- 46:50Speaker 11: is gone. Whereof this praise is made, feast, one fast lost,
- 46:55Speaker 11: one cloud of winter showers, these flies are couched.
- 46:59Speaker 25: Come me no further. No villainous bounty hath yet passed
- 47:03Speaker 25: my heart. Unwisely, not ignobly have I given? Why dost
- 47:07Speaker 25: thou weep? Canst thou the conscience lack to think I
- 47:10Speaker 25: shall lack, friends, secure thy heart. If I would broach
- 47:14Speaker 25: the vessels of my love and try the argument of
- 47:17Speaker 25: heart by borrowing men and men's fortunes, could I frankly
- 47:20Speaker 25: use as I can bid thee speak assurance.
- 47:23Speaker 11: Bless your thoughts.
- 47:25Speaker 25: And in some sort these wants of mine are crowned,
- 47:28Speaker 25: that I account them blessings. For by these shall I
- 47:31Speaker 25: try friends? You shall perceive how you mistake my fortunes.
- 47:35Speaker 25: I am wealthy in my friends within there Flaminius Servilius.
- 47:40Speaker 1: And to Flaminius Servilius and other servants.
- 47:45Speaker 25: May Lord, I will dispatch you severally. You to Lord Lucius,
- 47:50Speaker 25: to Lord Lucullus, you I hunted with his honor to day,
- 47:53Speaker 25: you to Sempronius. Commend me to their loves. And I
- 47:56Speaker 25: am proud say that my occasions have found time to
- 48:00Speaker 25: use em toward a supply of money. Let the request
- 48:03Speaker 25: be fifty talents, as you.
- 48:05Speaker 10: Have said, my lord.
- 48:07Speaker 11: Aside, Lord Lucius and Lucillus.
- 48:10Speaker 25: Hum to your servant, Go you, sir, to the senators,
- 48:15Speaker 25: of whom, even to the state's best health, I have
- 48:17Speaker 25: deserved this hearing. Bid them send at the instant a
- 48:20Speaker 25: thousand talents to me.
- 48:22Speaker 11: I have been bold for that I knew it the
- 48:25Speaker 11: most general way to them to use your signet and
- 48:28Speaker 11: your name. But they do shake their heads, and I
- 48:31Speaker 11: am here. No richer in return is true can be?
- 48:36Speaker 11: They answer in a joint and corporate voice that now
- 48:39Speaker 11: they are at fall, want treasure, cannot do what they
- 48:42Speaker 11: would are sorry, you are honorable, But yet they could
- 48:46Speaker 11: have wished. They know not something hath been amiss. A
- 48:50Speaker 11: noble nature may catch a wrench, would all were well?
- 48:53Speaker 11: Tis pity and so intending other serious matters. After distasteful looks,
- 48:58Speaker 11: and these hard fractions, with certain half caps and cold
- 49:02Speaker 11: moving nods, they froze me into silence.
- 49:05Speaker 25: You gods reward them, prithee, man, look cheerily. These old
- 49:09Speaker 25: fellows have their ingratitude in them hereditary. Their blood is caped,
- 49:13Speaker 25: tis cold, it seldom flows, tis lack of kindly warmth.
- 49:17Speaker 25: They are not kind, And nature, as it grows again
- 49:20Speaker 25: toward earth, is fashioned for the journey, dull and heavy.
- 49:24Speaker 25: To a servant, Go to Ventidius, to Flavius, prithee, be
- 49:29Speaker 25: not sad, thou art true and honest? Ingenuously I speak
- 49:33Speaker 25: no blame belongs to thee to servant Ventidius lately buried
- 49:38Speaker 25: his father, by whose death he stepped into a great estate.
- 49:41Speaker 25: When he was poor, imprisoned and in scarcity of friends,
- 49:44Speaker 25: I cleared him with five talents, greet him from me,
- 49:48Speaker 25: bid him suppose some good necessity touches his friend, which
- 49:52Speaker 25: craves to be remembered with those five talents.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Exit Servant to Flavius.
- 49:58Speaker 25: That head gives these fello, to whom tis instant due
- 50:02Speaker 25: near speak or think the Timond's fortunes among his friends,
- 50:05Speaker 25: can sink?
- 50:06Speaker 11: I would? I could not think it. That thought is
- 50:09Speaker 11: Bounty's foe, being free itself, it thinks all others so.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Excellent. End of Act two, Act three of the Timing

- 50:43Speaker 1: Scene one, a room in lucullus house, Flaminius waiting, and
- 50:50Speaker 1: they're a servant to him.
- 50:52Speaker 6: I have told my lord of you, he is coming
- 50:56Speaker 6: down to you.
- 50:57Speaker 1: I thank you, sir, and Cullus, Yes, my lord beside one.
- 51:04Speaker 5: Of Lord Demon's men, a gift I warrant, well, is
- 51:09Speaker 5: he's right? I dreamt of a silver basin, and you
- 51:13Speaker 5: were to night flaminy as honest flamil as you are
- 51:18Speaker 5: very respectively welcome, sir, fill.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Me some wine, exit servants, And how.
- 51:25Speaker 5: Does that honorable, complete, free hearted gentleman of Athens, thy
- 51:29Speaker 5: very bountiful good lord and master.
- 51:33Speaker 10: His health is well, sir?
- 51:35Speaker 5: I am right glad that his health is well, sir?
- 51:38Speaker 5: And what hast thou there under thy cloak pretty.
- 51:41Speaker 10: Flaminious faith, Nothing but an empty box, sir, which in
- 51:46Speaker 10: my Lord's behalf, I come to entreat your honor to supply, who,
- 51:52Speaker 10: having great and instant occasion to use fifty talents, hath
- 51:56Speaker 10: sent to your lordship to furnish him. Nothing doubting your
- 52:00Speaker 10: present assistance therein.
- 52:03Speaker 5: La la la lah, Nothing doubting, says he alas good Lord,
- 52:10Speaker 5: a noble gentleman. Tis if he would not keep so
- 52:13Speaker 5: good a house many a time, and often I had
- 52:17Speaker 5: dined with him and told him on it, and come
- 52:19Speaker 5: again to supper to him, of purpose to have him
- 52:22Speaker 5: spend less, And yet he would embrace no counsel, take
- 52:28Speaker 5: no warning by my coming. Every man has his fault,
- 52:33Speaker 5: and honesty is his. I had told him on it,
- 52:37Speaker 5: but I could never get him from it.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Re enter servant with wine, flaminius.
- 52:43Speaker 5: I have noted THEE always wise. Here's to THEE.
- 52:48Speaker 10: Your lordship speaks your pleasure.
- 52:51Speaker 5: I have observed THEE always for a towardly prompt spirit.
- 52:55Speaker 5: Give THEE thy do, and one that knows what belongs
- 52:59Speaker 5: to reason and canst use the time well, if the time,
- 53:04Speaker 5: use THEE well, good parts in THEE to servant, get your.
- 53:09Speaker 1: Bone, syrah, exit, servant.
- 53:12Speaker 5: Draw nearer, honest, flaminious. Thy lords are bountiful gentlemen. But
- 53:19Speaker 5: thou art wise, and thou know'st well enough. Although thou
- 53:23Speaker 5: comest to me that this is no time to lend money,
- 53:28Speaker 5: especially upon bear friendship without security. Here's three solidaries for THEE.
- 53:36Speaker 5: Good boy, wink at me and say thou sawest me
- 53:41Speaker 5: not fare THEE well?
- 53:44Speaker 10: Is it possible the world should so much differ? And
- 53:47Speaker 10: we alive that lived fly damned baseness to him that
- 53:52Speaker 10: worships THEE.
- 53:53Speaker 1: Throwing the money back.
- 53:56Speaker 5: Now, I see thou art a fool and fit for
- 53:59Speaker 5: thy mars exit.
- 54:02Speaker 10: May these add to the number that may scold thee
- 54:06Speaker 10: Let molten coin be thy damnation. Thou disease of a friend,
- 54:11Speaker 10: and not himself has friendship such a faint and milky heart,
- 54:17Speaker 10: it turns in less than two knights, O you, God's
- 54:21Speaker 10: I feel Master's passion. This slave, unto his honor, has
- 54:27Speaker 10: my Lord's meet in him. Why should it thrive and
- 54:31Speaker 10: turn to nutriment when he is turned to poison? Oh,
- 54:36Speaker 10: may disease his only work upon it. And when he
- 54:40Speaker 10: sick to death, let not that part of nature which
- 54:44Speaker 10: my Lord paid for be of any power to expel sickness,
- 54:48Speaker 10: but prolong his hour.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Exit Act three seen two. A public place Entell Lucilia,
- 55:00Speaker 1: with three strangers.
- 55:02Speaker 14: Who the Lord time on. He is my very good
- 55:05Speaker 14: friend and an honorable gentleman.
- 55:08Speaker 21: We can know him for no this the we are
- 55:10Speaker 21: but strangers to him. But he can tell you one thing,
- 55:15Speaker 21: my Lord, I wouldjoy here from common rumors. No, Lord
- 55:19Speaker 21: Dorymund's happy hours are dune and pussed, and his estee
- 55:23Speaker 21: shrinks from him.
- 55:25Speaker 14: Fie, no, do not believe it. He cannot want for money.
- 55:29Speaker 17: But believe you this, my Lord, that not long ago
- 55:32Speaker 17: one of his men was with Lord Lucillus to borrow
- 55:35Speaker 17: so many talents, nay urged extremely fault and showed what
- 55:39Speaker 17: necessity belonged to it, and yet was denied. How I
- 55:44Speaker 17: tell you denied, my lord?
- 55:46Speaker 14: What a strange case was that? Now before the gods?
- 55:50Speaker 14: I am ashamed aunt denied that honorable man. There was
- 55:54Speaker 14: very little honor showedn't for my own part, I must
- 55:58Speaker 14: needs confess. I have received some small kindnesses from him,
- 56:02Speaker 14: as money, plate, jewels and such like trifles, nothing comparing
- 56:06Speaker 14: to his. Yet had he mistook him and sent to me,
- 56:10Speaker 14: I should ne'er have denied his occasion so many talents?
- 56:14Speaker 15: And to Servilius see, by good hap yonders, my lord,
- 56:20Speaker 15: I have swept to see his honor.
- 56:21Speaker 14: My honored Lord, Servilius, you are kindly met, sir, fare
- 56:26Speaker 14: thee well. Commend me to thy honorable virtuous lord, my
- 56:30Speaker 14: very exquisite.
- 56:31Speaker 15: Friend, may please your honor. My lord hath sent ha?
- 56:36Speaker 14: What has he sent? I am so much endeared to
- 56:38Speaker 14: that lord he's ever sending? How shall I thank him?
- 56:42Speaker 14: Thinkest thou? And what has he sent? Now?
- 56:46Speaker 15: Has only sent his present occasion? Now, my lord requesting
- 56:50Speaker 15: your lordship to supply his instant use with so many talents, I.
- 56:54Speaker 14: Know his lordship is, but merry with me. He cannot
- 56:58Speaker 14: want fifty five hundred talents.
- 57:00Speaker 15: But in the meantime he wants less. My Lord, if
- 57:03Speaker 15: his occasion were not virtuous, I should not urge it.
- 57:06Speaker 14: Hath so faithfully dost thou speak seriously?
- 57:10Speaker 15: Servilius upon my soul? Tis true, sir?
- 57:14Speaker 14: What a wicked beast was I to disfurnish myself against
- 57:18Speaker 14: such a good time, when I might have shown myself honorable.
- 57:22Speaker 14: How unluckily it happened that I should purchase the day
- 57:25Speaker 14: before for a little part and undo a great deal
- 57:29Speaker 14: of honored servilius. Now before the gods, I am not
- 57:33Speaker 14: able to do the more beast, I say I was
- 57:37Speaker 14: sending to use Lord Tymone myself. These gentlemen can witness,
- 57:41Speaker 14: but I would not, for the wealth of Athens I
- 57:44Speaker 14: had done. Now commend me bountifully to his good lordship,
- 57:49Speaker 14: And I hope his honor will conceive the fairest of me,
- 57:52Speaker 14: because I have no power to be kind and tell
- 57:55Speaker 14: him this from me, I count it one of my
- 57:58Speaker 14: greatest afflictions, say that I cannot pleasure such an honorable
- 58:02Speaker 14: gentleman good servilius, Will you befriend me so far as
- 58:07Speaker 14: to use mine own words to him? Yes, sir, I shall,
- 58:11Speaker 14: I'll look you out a good turn, Servilius, Exit, Servilius,
- 58:16Speaker 14: True as you said, time on is shrunk indeed, and
- 58:20Speaker 14: he that's once denied will hardly speed exit.
- 58:25Speaker 21: Do you observe this hostilius? I too well? Way? This
- 58:32Speaker 21: is the world's soul unus to the za piece is
- 58:36Speaker 21: every fluttery spirit who can call him his friend that
- 58:41Speaker 21: dips in the zeme dish. For in my canoeing, Tamon
- 58:47Speaker 21: has been this lord's father, and kept his credit with
- 58:51Speaker 21: his purse, supported his estate. Nae Tamon's money has paid
- 58:58Speaker 21: his men nerweges he ne'er'd rinks, but time in silver
- 59:03Speaker 21: treads upon his lip. And yet oh, see the monstrousness
- 59:09Speaker 21: of man when he looks out in an ungrateful sheep,
- 59:14Speaker 21: he does deny him in respect of his were charitable
- 59:18Speaker 21: men afford to.
- 59:19Speaker 18: Beggars religion groans at it.
- 59:23Speaker 21: For mine own part, he never teasted time, and in
- 59:27Speaker 21: my life, nor key any of his bounties over me
- 59:32Speaker 21: to mark me for his friend. Yet I protest for
- 59:37Speaker 21: his right noble mind, illustrious virtue, and honorable carriage. Had
- 59:44Speaker 21: his necessity made use of me, I would have put
- 59:48Speaker 21: my wealth into dunatiun on the best half should have
- 59:51Speaker 21: return'd to him so much. I love his heart, But
- 59:56Speaker 21: I perceive men must learn now with pity to dispense
- 1:00:01Speaker 21: for a policy sits above conscience.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Excellent Act three? See in three a room in seprunius house.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: Enter Sprunius and a servant of timonds.
- 1:00:19Speaker 19: Must he needs trouble me into hum above all others.
- 1:00:23Speaker 19: He might have tried Lord Lucius or Lucillus, And now
- 1:00:27Speaker 19: Ventidius is wealthy two whom he redeemed from prison. All
- 1:00:31Speaker 19: these owe their estates unto.
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: Him, my lord, They have all been touched and found
- 1:00:37Speaker 6: face metal.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: For they have all denied him?
- 1:00:41Speaker 19: How have they denied him? Has Ventidius and Lusillus denied him?
- 1:00:46Speaker 19: And does he send to me? Three? Humm? It shows
- 1:00:51Speaker 19: but little love or judgment in him? Must I be
- 1:00:54Speaker 19: his last refuge? His friends, like physicians thrive give him
- 1:01:00Speaker 19: him over? Must I take the cure upon me? Has
- 1:01:03Speaker 19: much disgraced me? Int I'm angry at him that might
- 1:01:07Speaker 19: have known my place? I see no sense for it.
- 1:01:10Speaker 19: But his occasion might have wooed me first, For in
- 1:01:14Speaker 19: my conscience I was the first man that e'er received
- 1:01:18Speaker 19: gift from him. And does he think so backwardly of
- 1:01:21Speaker 19: me now that I'll requite its last? No, so it
- 1:01:25Speaker 19: may prove an argument of laughter to the rest, and
- 1:01:28Speaker 19: amongst lords, I bethought a fool, I'd rather than the
- 1:01:32Speaker 19: worth of thrice the sum had sent to me first.
- 1:01:35Speaker 19: But for my mind's sake, i'd such a courage to
- 1:01:38Speaker 19: do him good. But now return, and with their faint
- 1:01:42Speaker 19: reply this answer, join, who bates mine honor shall not
- 1:01:46Speaker 19: know my coin exit excellent.
- 1:01:50Speaker 6: Your lordship's a goodly villain. The devil knew not what
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: he did when he made mun politics. He cost himself fight,
- 1:02:00Speaker 6: and I cannot think, but in the end the villainese
- 1:02:03Speaker 6: of man will set him clear. How fairly this lord
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: strives to appear foul, takes virtuous copies to be wicked,
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: like those that under hot ardent zeal would set whole
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: mounds on fire. Of such a nature is his politic love.
- 1:02:24Speaker 6: This was my lord's best hope. Now all are fled,
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: save only the gods. Now his friends are dead, Those
- 1:02:34Speaker 6: that were now acquainted with their lords, many a banktious
- 1:02:38Speaker 6: year must be employed now to God sure their master.
- 1:02:43Speaker 6: And this is all a liberal course. Allies who cannot
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: keep his wealth must keep his house.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: Exit Act three, Scene four. A whole in Timon's house.
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: Enter two, so of Varro and the servant of Lucius,
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: meeting Titus, Hortensius and other servants to Tiremant's creditors waiting.
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: He's coming out, well met, Good morrow, Titus and Tortetsius.
- 1:03:15Speaker 13: The like to you can't, Varo, Lucius, what do we
- 1:03:19Speaker 13: meet together?
- 1:03:20Speaker 12: Aye? And I think one business does command us all?
- 1:03:24Speaker 12: For mine is money, so is theirs and ours, and
- 1:03:28Speaker 12: Tephilotus and Sirphiletus too, good day at once, welcome, good brother.
- 1:03:36Speaker 12: And what do you think the.
- 1:03:37Speaker 23: Hour laboring for nine?
- 1:03:40Speaker 27: So much?
- 1:03:41Speaker 23: Is not my lord seen yet? Not yet, I wonder
- 1:03:46Speaker 23: aunt he was wont to shine at seven?
- 1:03:49Speaker 12: Aye, But the days are waxed shorter with him. You
- 1:03:52Speaker 12: must consider that a probable chorus. It's like the suns,
- 1:03:56Speaker 12: but not like his recoverable at as deep as winter
- 1:04:01Speaker 12: in Lord Timon's purse, that is, And one may reach
- 1:04:04Speaker 12: deep enough. And yet fine little.
- 1:04:06Speaker 23: I am of your fear for that.
- 1:04:09Speaker 28: I'll show you how to observe a strange event. Your
- 1:04:12Speaker 28: lord sends now for money, most true he does, and
- 1:04:15Speaker 28: he wears jewels. Now of Timond's gift for which I
- 1:04:19Speaker 28: wait for money.
- 1:04:20Speaker 12: It is against my heart mark how strange it shows Timon,
- 1:04:24Speaker 12: and this should pay more than he owes. And even
- 1:04:27Speaker 12: as if your lord should wear rich jewels and send
- 1:04:30Speaker 12: money for him.
- 1:04:31Speaker 13: I'm weary of this charge. The gods can witness. I
- 1:04:34Speaker 13: know my lord hath spent of Timon's wealth, and now
- 1:04:38Speaker 13: ingratitude makes it worse than stealth.
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: Yes, mine's three thousand crowns, what's yours?
- 1:04:45Speaker 12: Five thousand?
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: Mine tis much deep, and it should seem by the
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: sum your master's confidence was above mine. Else surely had
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: his equals.
- 1:04:56Speaker 28: And Flaminius, one of Lord Timond's men.
- 1:05:00Speaker 12: Flaminius sir, a word, pray, is my lord ready to
- 1:05:04Speaker 12: come forth?
- 1:05:05Speaker 10: No, indeed he is not.
- 1:05:08Speaker 28: We atturned his lordship. Pray signify so much.
- 1:05:12Speaker 10: I need not tell him that he knows you are
- 1:05:15Speaker 10: too diligent.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: Exit Flaminius. Enter Flavius in a cloak, muffled.
- 1:05:22Speaker 12: Hah, it's not that is stew and muffled. So he
- 1:05:26Speaker 12: goes away in a cloud call him, call him?
- 1:05:29Speaker 28: Do you hear, sir?
- 1:05:30Speaker 22: By your leave?
- 1:05:31Speaker 10: Sir?
- 1:05:32Speaker 11: What do you ask of me? My friend?
- 1:05:34Speaker 28: We wait for certain money here, sir aye?
- 1:05:37Speaker 11: If money were as certain as you're waiting to assure enough,
- 1:05:41Speaker 11: why then preferred you not your sums and bills? When
- 1:05:44Speaker 11: your false masters eat of my Lord's meat? Then they
- 1:05:48Speaker 11: could smile and fawn upon his debts and take down
- 1:05:51Speaker 11: the interest into their gluttonous moors. You do yourselves, but
- 1:05:55Speaker 11: wrong to stir me up. Let me pass quietly, believed.
- 1:05:59Speaker 11: My lord and I I have made an end. I
- 1:06:01Speaker 11: have no more to reckon. He suspend aye.
- 1:06:04Speaker 12: But this answer will not serve.
- 1:06:07Speaker 11: If it will not serve, tis not so base as you,
- 1:06:09Speaker 11: For you serve knaves.
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: Exit.
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: Oh what does his cashier and worship mutter?
- 1:06:17Speaker 22: No matter what? He's poor? And that's revenge enough. Who
- 1:06:21Speaker 22: can speak broader than he that has no house to
- 1:06:23Speaker 22: put his head in? Such may rail against great buildings
- 1:06:27Speaker 22: and to servilius.
- 1:06:29Speaker 28: Oh, here's servilius. Now we shall know some answer.
- 1:06:33Speaker 21: If I might beseech you, gentlemen, repair some other hour,
- 1:06:38Speaker 21: I should derive much from it. But take dub my soul,
- 1:06:43Speaker 21: my lord les wondrously to discontent. His comfortable temper has
- 1:06:48Speaker 21: forsook him. He's much chat of health and keeps his chamber.
- 1:06:53Speaker 12: Many do keep their chambers, are not sick. And if
- 1:06:57Speaker 12: it be so far beyond his health, thinks he should
- 1:07:00Speaker 12: the sooner pay his debts and make a clear way
- 1:07:03Speaker 12: to the gods, good gods.
- 1:07:06Speaker 28: We cannot take this for answer, Sir, within servilius, help
- 1:07:12Speaker 28: my lord my lord.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Enter tirement in a rage flaminious following, What are.
- 1:07:20Speaker 25: My doors opposed against my passage? Have I been ever free?
- 1:07:24Speaker 25: And must my house be my retentive enemy? My jail,
- 1:07:28Speaker 25: the place which I have feasted? Does it now like
- 1:07:30Speaker 25: all mankind? Show me an iron heart?
- 1:07:33Speaker 12: Put in now, Titus, my lord.
- 1:07:35Speaker 28: Here is my bill, Here's.
- 1:07:37Speaker 13: Mine and mine, my lord, and ours, my lord, all
- 1:07:43Speaker 13: our bills.
- 1:07:44Speaker 25: Knock me down with them, pleave me to the girdle
- 1:07:47Speaker 25: alas my lord cut my heart in.
- 1:07:50Speaker 28: Thumbs, mine fifty talents.
- 1:07:53Speaker 25: Tell out my blood.
- 1:07:55Speaker 12: Five thousand crowns, my lord.
- 1:07:57Speaker 25: Five thousand drops pays that what's yours and yours? My lord,
- 1:08:03Speaker 25: my lord, tear me, take me, and the gods fall
- 1:08:07Speaker 25: upon you.
- 1:08:08Speaker 13: Exit faith I perceive our masters may throw their caps
- 1:08:11Speaker 13: at their money. These debts may well be called desperate
- 1:08:14Speaker 13: ones for madmanoism.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Excellent re enter, timon and flavious.
- 1:08:21Speaker 25: They've even put my breath from me, the slaves, creditors, devils,
- 1:08:27Speaker 25: my dear lord. What if it should be so, my lord,
- 1:08:31Speaker 25: I'll have it so, my steward, here, my lord, so fitly,
- 1:08:35Speaker 25: go bid all my friends again, Lucius, Lucullas and Simpronius,
- 1:08:38Speaker 25: all they are all. I'll once more feast the rascals.
- 1:08:42Speaker 11: Oh, my lord, you only speak from your distracted soul.
- 1:08:45Speaker 11: There is not so much left to furnish out a
- 1:08:47Speaker 11: moderate table, be.
- 1:08:48Speaker 25: It not in thy care? Go I charge thee, invite
- 1:08:51Speaker 25: them all. Let in the tide of knaves once more,
- 1:08:54Speaker 25: my cook, and I'll provide.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Excellent at three Sea in five the same the Senate house,
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: the Senate sitting, my.
- 1:09:06Speaker 9: Lord, you have my voice to it. The false bloody
- 1:09:09Speaker 9: tis necessary. He should die nothing emboldness sins, so much
- 1:09:13Speaker 9: as mercy most true.
- 1:09:16Speaker 21: The law shall bruise him.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: And to Alcibiades with attendants.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: Honor, health, and compassion to the Senate.
- 1:09:26Speaker 18: Now, Captain, I am a numble.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: Suitor to your virtues, For pity is the virtue of
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: the law, and none but tyrants use it cruelly. It
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: pleases time and fortune to lie heavy upon a friend
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: of mine, who, in hot blood hath stepped into the law,
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: which is past depth to those that without heed do
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: plunge into it. He is a man setting his fate
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: aside of calmly virtues. Nor did he soil the fact
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: with cowardice an honor in him which buys out his fault,
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: but a noble fury and fair spirit. Seeing his reputation
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: touched to death, he did oppose his foe, and with
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: such sober and unnoted passion he did behave his anger
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: ere twas spent, as if he had but proved an argument.
- 1:10:17Speaker 9: You undergo too strict a paradox, striving to make an
- 1:10:20Speaker 9: ugly deed look fair. Your words have took such pains
- 1:10:24Speaker 9: as if they labored to bring manslaughter into form, and
- 1:10:28Speaker 9: set quarreling upon the head of valor, which indeed is
- 1:10:32Speaker 9: valor misbegot and came into the world when sects and
- 1:10:35Speaker 9: factions were newly born. He's truly valiant that can wisely
- 1:10:40Speaker 9: suffer the worst that man can breathe, and make his
- 1:10:44Speaker 9: wrongs his outsides to wear them like his raiment carelessly,
- 1:10:49Speaker 9: and ne'er prefer his injuries to his heart to bring
- 1:10:53Speaker 9: it into danger. If wrongs be evils and enforce us kill,
- 1:10:57Speaker 9: what folly tis to hazard life for ill? My lord,
- 1:11:02Speaker 9: you cannot make gross sins look clear. To revenge is
- 1:11:07Speaker 9: no valor, But to bear.
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: My lords, then under favor, pardon me if I speak
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: like a captain? Why do fond men expose themselves to
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: battle and not endure all threats? Sleep upon it, and
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: let the foes quietly cut their throats without repugnancy? If
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: there be such valor in the bearing, what make we abroad?
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: Why then women are more valiant that stay at home?
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: If bearing carry it, and the ass more captain than
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: the lion, the felon loaden with irons wiser than the judge.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: If wisdom be in suffering, O, my lords, as you
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: are great, be pitifully good? Who cannot condemn rashness in
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: cold blood? To kill I grant is sins extremest gust,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: But in defense by tis most just. To be in
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: anger is impiety. But who is man that is not angry?
- 1:12:09Speaker 21: Weigh?
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: But the crime with.
- 1:12:10Speaker 21: This you breathe in vain, in vain.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: His service done at Lacedaemon and Byzantium were a sufficient
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: briber for his life. What's that, I say, my lords?
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: He has done fair service and slain in fight many
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: of your enemies. How full of valor did he bear
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: himself in the last conflict and made plenteous wounds?
- 1:12:35Speaker 21: He has made too much plenty with him is a
- 1:12:38Speaker 21: swan rata. He has a sin that often drowns him
- 1:12:42Speaker 21: and takes his valor prisoner. If there were no furs
- 1:12:46Speaker 21: that were enough to overcome him in that beastly fury.
- 1:12:51Speaker 21: He has been known to commit outrages and Jewish factions
- 1:12:56Speaker 21: tis inferred to us. His days are foul and his
- 1:13:00Speaker 21: drink dangerous.
- 1:13:02Speaker 18: He dies hard fate.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: He might have died in war, my lords, if not
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: for any parts in him, though his right arm might
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: purchase his own time and be in debt to none
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: yet more to move you take my deserts to his
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: and join them both. And for I know your reverend
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: ages love security, I'll pall my victories, all my honors
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: to you upon his good returns. If by this crime
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: he owes the law his life, why let the war
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: received in valiant gore, For law is strict, and war
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: is nothing more.
- 1:13:41Speaker 9: We are for law. He dies urge it no more
- 1:13:45Speaker 9: on height of our displeasure, friend or brother. He forfeits
- 1:13:49Speaker 9: his own blood that spills another.
- 1:13:51Speaker 20: Must it be?
- 1:13:52Speaker 10: So?
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: It must not be, My lords, I do beseech you
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: know me how call me to your remembrances. What I
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: cannot think? But your age has forgot me. It could
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: not else be. I should prove so base to sue
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: and be denied such common grace. My wounds ache at you?
- 1:14:17Speaker 18: Do you dare?
- 1:14:18Speaker 9: Our anger tis in few words, but spacious in effect.
- 1:14:22Speaker 9: We banish THEE.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: Forever, banish me, Banish your dotage, Banish usury that makes
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: the Senate ugly.
- 1:14:30Speaker 9: If after two days shine Athens, contain THEE attend our
- 1:14:34Speaker 9: weightier judgment, and not to swell our spirit, he shall
- 1:14:39Speaker 9: be executed presently.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: Excellent senators, Now the gods keep you old enough that
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: you may live only in bone, that none may look
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: on you. I'm worse than mad. I have kept back
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: their foes, while they have told their money and let
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: out their coin upon large interest. I myself rich only
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: in large hurts all those. For this is this the
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: balsam that the usuring senate pours into Captain's wounds. Banishment
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: It comes not ill I hate not to be banished.
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: It is a cause worthy my spleen and fury that
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: I may strike at Athens. I'll cheer up my discontented
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: troops and lay for hearts. Tis honor with most lands
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: to be at odds. Soldiers should brook as little wrongs
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: as gods.
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: Exit Act three, Scene six, the same a banqueting room
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: in Timon's house. Music tables set out servants attending and
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: to divish lords, senatus, and others at several doors.
- 1:15:58Speaker 8: The good time of day to you, sir.
- 1:16:00Speaker 20: I also wish it to you. I think this honorable
- 1:16:04Speaker 20: lord did but try us this other day.
- 1:16:07Speaker 8: Upon that were my thoughts tiring when we encountered. I
- 1:16:11Speaker 8: hope it is not so low with him as he
- 1:16:14Speaker 8: made it seem in the trial of his several friends.
- 1:16:17Speaker 20: It should not be by the persuasion of his new feasting.
- 1:16:22Speaker 8: I should think so. He hath sent me an earnest inviting,
- 1:16:26Speaker 8: which many my near occasions did urge me to put off.
- 1:16:31Speaker 8: But he hath conjured me beyond them, and I must
- 1:16:34Speaker 8: needs appear in.
- 1:16:36Speaker 20: Like manner was I in debt to my importunate business.
- 1:16:40Speaker 20: But he would not hear my excuse. I am sorry
- 1:16:44Speaker 20: when he sent to borrow of me that my provision
- 1:16:47Speaker 20: was out.
- 1:16:48Speaker 8: I am sick of that grief too, as I understand
- 1:16:51Speaker 8: how all things go.
- 1:16:53Speaker 20: Every man here is so what would he have borrowed
- 1:16:57Speaker 20: of you?
- 1:16:58Speaker 8: A thousand pieces?
- 1:16:59Speaker 20: A thousand pieces? What of you he sent to me?
- 1:17:04Speaker 8: Sir?
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: Oh, here he comes, Enter timon and attendance with all.
- 1:17:10Speaker 25: My heart, gentlemen, both, and how fare.
- 1:17:12Speaker 8: You Everett the best hearing well of your lordship.
- 1:17:16Speaker 20: The swallow follows not summer more willing than we your
- 1:17:20Speaker 20: lordship beside.
- 1:17:22Speaker 25: Nor more willingly leaves winter such summer boards are men, gentlemen,
- 1:17:27Speaker 25: our dinner will not recompense this long stay. Feast your
- 1:17:30Speaker 25: ears with the music, Awhile, if they will fear so
- 1:17:33Speaker 25: harshly the trumpet sound, we shall to it presently.
- 1:17:37Speaker 8: I hope it remains not unkindly with your Lordship that
- 1:17:40Speaker 8: I returned you an empty messenger.
- 1:17:43Speaker 25: Oh, sir, let it not trouble you, my noble lord, Ah,
- 1:17:47Speaker 25: my good friend, what cheer, my.
- 1:17:49Speaker 20: Most honorable lord? I am in sick of shame that
- 1:17:54Speaker 20: when your Lordship this other day sent to me, I
- 1:17:57Speaker 20: was so unfortunate a beggar. Think, sir, if you had
- 1:18:01Speaker 20: sent but two hours before.
- 1:18:04Speaker 25: Let it not cumber your better remembrance.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: The banquet brought in come.
- 1:18:09Speaker 20: Bringing all together all covered dishes, royal cheer.
- 1:18:15Speaker 8: I warrant you doubt not.
- 1:18:17Speaker 24: That if money and the season can yield it.
- 1:18:20Speaker 8: How do you do watch the news?
- 1:18:22Speaker 24: A sebiades is spanished.
- 1:18:24Speaker 10: Hear you of it?
- 1:18:25Speaker 8: I'll besponished tis, so be sure of it?
- 1:18:29Speaker 25: How how I pray you upon what, my worthy friends?
- 1:18:36Speaker 25: Will you draw near?
- 1:18:37Speaker 24: I'll tell you more? Anon, here's a noble feast toward
- 1:18:42Speaker 24: this is.
- 1:18:42Speaker 20: The old man still.
- 1:18:44Speaker 24: Welt hold welt hold.
- 1:18:48Speaker 20: It does, but time will, And.
- 1:18:51Speaker 25: So I do conceive each man tis stool with that spoor,
- 1:18:56Speaker 25: as he would to the lip of his mistress. Your
- 1:18:58Speaker 25: diet shall be in all places alike, Make not a
- 1:19:02Speaker 25: city feast of it. To let the meat cool ere
- 1:19:04Speaker 25: we can agree upon the first place sit sit. The
- 1:19:08Speaker 25: gods require our thanks. You great benefactors, sprinkle our society
- 1:19:13Speaker 25: with thankfulness for your own gifts. Make yourselves praised, But
- 1:19:18Speaker 25: reserve still to give, lest your deities be despised. Lend
- 1:19:23Speaker 25: to each man enough that one need not lend to another.
- 1:19:27Speaker 25: Far were your godheads to borrow of men, men would
- 1:19:31Speaker 25: forsake the gods. Make the meat be beloved more than
- 1:19:36Speaker 25: the man that gives it. Let no assembly of twenty
- 1:19:39Speaker 25: be without a score of villains. If there sit twelve
- 1:19:43Speaker 25: women at a table let, a dozen of them be
- 1:19:45Speaker 25: as they are the rest of your fees, O, gods,
- 1:19:49Speaker 25: the senators of Athens, together with the common lag of people.
- 1:19:53Speaker 25: What is a miss in them, you gods make suitable
- 1:19:56Speaker 25: for destruction? For these my present friends, as they are
- 1:20:00Speaker 25: to me nothing, so in nothing bless them, and to
- 1:20:03Speaker 25: nothing are they welcome? Uncovered dogs and lap.
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: The dishes are uncovered and seen to be full of
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: warm water.
- 1:20:13Speaker 18: What do you mean?
- 1:20:15Speaker 10: I don't know not.
- 1:20:17Speaker 25: May you a better feast? Never behold you not of mouth, friends,
- 1:20:21Speaker 25: smoke and Lukewarm water is your perfection. This is Timon's last,
- 1:20:25Speaker 25: who stuck and spangled with your flattery, washes it off
- 1:20:29Speaker 25: and sprinkles in your faces, Your reeking villainy.
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: Throwing the water in their faces.
- 1:20:35Speaker 25: Live loath and long, most smiling, smooth, detested parasites, courteous destroyers,
- 1:20:41Speaker 25: affable wolves, meek bears, You fools, of fortune, trench, your friends, times, flies,
- 1:20:47Speaker 25: cap and knee, slaves, vapors and minute jacks of man
- 1:20:51Speaker 25: and beasts, the infinite malady crust. You quite ore, what
- 1:20:55Speaker 25: dost thou go soft? Take thy physic first, thou too,
- 1:20:58Speaker 25: and thou stay. I will lend thee money, borrow none.
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: Throws the dishes at them and drives them out.
- 1:21:06Speaker 25: What all in motion? Headforth, be no feast where a
- 1:21:09Speaker 25: villain's not a welcome guest, burn house sink Athens. Headforth, heine,
- 1:21:14Speaker 25: it'd be of time and man and all.
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: Humanity exit re entered the lord's senators and company.
- 1:21:23Speaker 20: How now my lord's know you the quality of Lord
- 1:21:26Speaker 20: Tymans's fury push?
- 1:21:29Speaker 27: Did you see my cap?
- 1:21:31Speaker 12: I have lost my gown.

- 1:26:04Speaker 25: time and will to the woods, where he shall find
- 1:26:09Speaker 25: the unkindest beast, more kinder than mankind the gods confound.

- 1:27:20Speaker 26: by the arm and go along with him.
- 1:27:23Speaker 22: As we do, turn our backs from our companion, thrown
- 1:27:25Speaker 22: into his grave. So his familiars to his buried fortunes,
- 1:27:29Speaker 22: sink all the way, leave their false vowls with him,
- 1:27:32Speaker 22: like empty purses picked, and his poor self, a dedicated
- 1:27:36Speaker 22: beggar to the air, with his disease of all shunned poverty,
- 1:27:40Speaker 22: walks like contempt alone. More of our fellows, and to
- 1:27:44Speaker 22: other servants.

- 1:28:09Speaker 11: All the latest of my wealth I'll share amongst you
- 1:28:13Speaker 11: wherever we shall meet for time AND's sake. Let yet
- 1:28:16Speaker 11: be fellows, Let's shake our heads and say, as twir

- 1:28:24Speaker 11: Let each take some, nay, put out all your hands,
- 1:28:27Speaker 11: not one word more. Thus part we rich in sorrow, parting.
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: Poor servants, embrace and part several ways.
- 1:28:37Speaker 11: Oh the fierce wretchedness that glory brings us. Who would
- 1:28:40Speaker 11: not wish to be from wealth exempt, since riches point
- 1:28:44Speaker 11: to misery and contempt? Who would be so mocked with glory,
- 1:28:48Speaker 11: or to live but in a dream of friendship, to
- 1:28:50Speaker 11: have his pomp and all what state compounds, but only
- 1:28:53Speaker 11: painted like his varnished friends. Poor honest lord, brought low
- 1:28:58Speaker 11: by his own heart, un by goodness, strange unusual blood.
- 1:29:03Speaker 11: When man's worst sin is he does too much good?
- 1:29:07Speaker 11: Who then dares to be half so kind again? For
- 1:29:10Speaker 11: bounty that makes gods the still ma men, My dearest lord,
- 1:29:15Speaker 11: blessed to be most accursed rich, only to be wretched.
- 1:29:20Speaker 11: Thy great fortunes are made thy chief afflictions alas kind Lord,
- 1:29:25Speaker 11: he's flung in rage from this ungrateful seat of monstrous friends,
- 1:29:29Speaker 11: Nor has he with him to supply his life, or
- 1:29:32Speaker 11: that which can command it. I'll follow and inquire him out.
- 1:29:36Speaker 11: I'll ever serve his mind with my best will, whilst
- 1:29:40Speaker 11: I have gold, I'll be his stewards still.
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: Exit Act four, Scene three woods and cave ne'er the
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: sea shore. And to tiremen from the cave.
- 1:29:54Speaker 25: Oh, blessed breeding son, draw from the earth rotten humidity below,
- 1:29:59Speaker 25: thy sister orb infect the air, twinned brothers of one womb,
- 1:30:04Speaker 25: whose procreation, residence, and birth scarce is divided. Touch them
- 1:30:08Speaker 25: with several fortunes. The greater scorns the lesser. Not nature,
- 1:30:13Speaker 25: to whom all sores lay siege, can bear great fortune.
- 1:30:16Speaker 25: But by contempt of nature, Raise me this beggar and
- 1:30:19Speaker 25: deny that. Lord the Senator shall bear contempt hereditary, the
- 1:30:23Speaker 25: beggar native honor. It is the pasture lads, the brothers
- 1:30:26Speaker 25: sides the want that makes him lean. Who dares, who
- 1:30:30Speaker 25: dares impurity of manhood, stand upright and say, this man's
- 1:30:34Speaker 25: a flatterer. If one be, so are they all. For
- 1:30:37Speaker 25: every grease of fortune is smooth by that below. The
- 1:30:40Speaker 25: learned pate ducks to the golden fool, all is oblique.
- 1:30:44Speaker 25: There is nothing level in our cursed natures, but direct villainy.
- 1:30:47Speaker 25: Therefore be abhorred all feasts, societies and throngs of men.
- 1:30:52Speaker 25: His some blable yea himself time and disdains destruction. Fang
- 1:30:57Speaker 25: mankind earth yield me rule, diggin who seeks for better
- 1:31:02Speaker 25: of the Saucy's palette of dimost operant poison. What is here? Gold, yellow, glittering,
- 1:31:10Speaker 25: precious gold. No gods, I am no idle voterists, roots,

- 1:31:18Speaker 25: foul fare, wrong, right, base, noble, old, young coward, valiant hat,
- 1:31:24Speaker 25: You gods? Why this?
- 1:31:26Speaker 8: What this?
- 1:31:26Speaker 25: You gods? Why this will lug your priests and servants
- 1:31:31Speaker 25: from your sides, pluck stout men's pillows from below their heads.
- 1:31:35Speaker 25: This yellow slave will knit and break religions, Bless the accursed,
- 1:31:41Speaker 25: make the whore leprosy adored place thieves, and give them title,
- 1:31:45Speaker 25: knee and approbation which centers on the bench. This is
- 1:31:49Speaker 25: it that makes the wappened widow wait again, she whom
- 1:31:52Speaker 25: the spittlehouse and ultser's swords would cast the guarge at
- 1:31:55Speaker 25: this in bambs and spices to the April day again
- 1:31:59Speaker 25: come damn it earth, thou common horror of mankind that
- 1:32:02Speaker 25: putst odds among the root of nations. I will make
- 1:32:05Speaker 25: THEE do thy right nature. March afa off ha a drum.
- 1:32:10Speaker 25: Thou art quick, but yet I'll bury thee. Thou'lt go
- 1:32:14Speaker 25: strong thief when gouty keepers of THEE cannot stand. Nay,
- 1:32:18Speaker 25: stay thou out for earnest.
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: Keeping some gold, and I'll see bides with drum and
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: fife in warlike manner Prinia and timundra.
- 1:32:30Speaker 25: What art thou there speak a beast as thou art
- 1:32:35Speaker 25: the canker, gnaw thy heart for showing me again the
- 1:32:38Speaker 25: eyes of man?
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: What is thy name? Is man so hateful to THEE
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: that art thyself a man?
- 1:32:45Speaker 25: I am misanthropists and hate mankind for thy part. I
- 1:32:50Speaker 25: do wish thou wert a dog, that I might love
- 1:32:52Speaker 25: THEE something.
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: I know THEE well, but in thy fortunes am unlearned
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: and strange.
- 1:32:59Speaker 25: I know THEE too, And more than that I know
- 1:33:02Speaker 25: THEE I not desire to know. Follow thy drum with
- 1:33:05Speaker 25: man's blood paint the ground gules gules, religious canons, civil
- 1:33:10Speaker 25: laws are cruel? Then what should war be? This fell
- 1:33:14Speaker 25: horror of thine hath in her more destruction than thy
- 1:33:17Speaker 25: sword for all her cherubin.
- 1:33:19Speaker 22: Look thy lips rot off.
- 1:33:21Speaker 25: I will not kiss thee. Then the rot returns thine
- 1:33:24Speaker 25: own lips again.
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: How came the noble time into this change.
- 1:33:29Speaker 25: As the moon does by wanting light to give but
- 1:33:32Speaker 25: then renew? I could not like the moon, there were
- 1:33:35Speaker 25: no suns to borrow.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: Of noble timing? What friendship may I do THEE?
- 1:33:40Speaker 25: None? But to maintain my opinion? What isn't Timon promise
- 1:33:45Speaker 25: me friendship, but perform none? If thou wilt not promise,
- 1:33:49Speaker 25: the gods plague THEE for thou art a man, If
- 1:33:51Speaker 25: thou dost perform confound THEE for thou art of man.
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: I have heard in some sort of thy miseries.
- 1:33:58Speaker 25: Thou sawest them, I had prosperity.
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: I see them now. Then was a blessed time.
- 1:34:05Speaker 25: As thine is now held with a brace of harlots?
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: Is this the Athenian minion whom the world voiced so regardfully?
- 1:34:15Speaker 25: Art thou Timandra? Yes, be a whore? Still they love THEE,
- 1:34:20Speaker 25: not that use THEE give them diseases, leaving with THEE
- 1:34:23Speaker 25: their lust make use of thy salt hours season, the
- 1:34:27Speaker 25: slaves for tubs and bats bring down rose cheek youth
- 1:34:32Speaker 25: to the top fast, and the diet.
- 1:34:34Speaker 4: Hang thee monster.
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: Pardon him, sweet Tamandra, for his wits are drowned and
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: lost in his calamities. I have but little gold of
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: late brave time. In the want thereof doth daily make
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: revolt in my penurious band. I have heard and grieved,
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: how cursed Athens mindless of thy worth forgetting thy great deeds,
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: when neighbors states but for thy sword and fortune trod
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: upon them.
- 1:35:02Speaker 25: I prithee, beat thy drum, and get thee gone.
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: I am thy friend, and pity thee.
- 1:35:09Speaker 25: Dear Timing, how dost thou pity him whom thou dost trouble?
- 1:35:12Speaker 25: I'd rather be alone?
- 1:35:14Speaker 20: Why fare thee?
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: Well?
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: Here's some gold for thee.
- 1:35:19Speaker 25: Keep it. I cannot eat it.
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: When I have laid proud Athens on a heap.
- 1:35:24Speaker 25: Warst Thou against Athens? I time in and have cause
- 1:35:29Speaker 25: the gods confound them all in thy conquest, and thee
- 1:35:33Speaker 25: after when thou hast conquered. Why me, timing that by
- 1:35:37Speaker 25: killing of villains thou wast born to conquer my country
- 1:35:40Speaker 25: put up thy gold. Go on, here's gold, go on,
- 1:35:47Speaker 25: be as a planetary plague. When Jove will o'er some
- 1:35:50Speaker 25: high vised city hang his poison in the sick air.
- 1:35:53Speaker 25: Let not thy swords skip one pity, not honored age
- 1:35:58Speaker 25: for his white beard. He is a you usurer. Strike
- 1:36:01Speaker 25: me the counterfeit matron. It is her habit only that
- 1:36:04Speaker 25: is honest. Herself is a bad. Let not the virgin's cheek.
- 1:36:07Speaker 25: Make soft thy trenchant sword for those milk paps that
- 1:36:11Speaker 25: through the window bars bore at men's eyes are not
- 1:36:14Speaker 25: within the leaf of pity. Writ but set them down
- 1:36:16Speaker 25: horrible traitors. Spare not the babe whose dimple smiles from
- 1:36:21Speaker 25: fools exhaust their mercy. Think it a bastard whom the
- 1:36:24Speaker 25: oracle has doubtfully pronounced. Thy throat shall cut and mince
- 1:36:28Speaker 25: it sorrow mars, swear against objects. Put armor on thine
- 1:36:32Speaker 25: ears and on thine eyes. Whose proof nor yells of mothers,
- 1:36:36Speaker 25: maids and our babes, nor sight of priests in holy vestments.
- 1:36:40Speaker 25: Bleeding shall pierce a jot. There's gold to pay soldiers.
- 1:36:44Speaker 25: Make large confusion, and thy fury fent confounded. Be thyself speak,
- 1:36:49Speaker 25: not be gone.
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: Hast thou gold, Yet I'll take the gold thou givest me,
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: not all thy counsel.
- 1:36:56Speaker 25: Dost thou, or dost thou not Heaven's course upon thee.
- 1:37:00Speaker 4: Give us some gold good timing.
- 1:37:02Speaker 25: Hast thou more enough to make a hoar for swear
- 1:37:06Speaker 25: her trade, and to make hoars aboad. Hold up, you sluts,
- 1:37:10Speaker 25: your aprons mountained. You are not othable. Although I know
- 1:37:15Speaker 25: you'll swear terribly, swear into strong shudders and to heavenly eggs.
- 1:37:19Speaker 25: The martyal gods that hear you spare your olds. I'll
- 1:37:22Speaker 25: trust to your conditions. Be horse still, and he whose
- 1:37:26Speaker 25: pious breath seeks to convert you, be strong in horror,
- 1:37:30Speaker 25: allure him, burn him up, Let your close fire predominate
- 1:37:33Speaker 25: his smoke, and be no turncoats. Yet, may your pain
- 1:37:38Speaker 25: six months be quite contrary. And thatch your poor thin
- 1:37:41Speaker 25: roofs with burdens of the dead, some that were hanged
- 1:37:45Speaker 25: no matter, wear them, betray with them hoarse still paint,
- 1:37:49Speaker 25: till a horse may mire upon your face a pox
- 1:37:52Speaker 25: of wrinkles. Well more gold, what then consumption? So in
- 1:37:58Speaker 25: hollow bones of men, strike their sharp shins and marman's
- 1:38:03Speaker 25: spurring crack the lawyer's voice, that he may never more
- 1:38:06Speaker 25: false title, plead nor sound his crellits shrilly hoar the
- 1:38:11Speaker 25: flamen that scolds against the quality of flesh and not
- 1:38:13Speaker 25: believes himself down with the nose, down with it flat.
- 1:38:17Speaker 25: Take the bridge quite away of him that he's particular
- 1:38:20Speaker 25: to foresee smells from the general wheel. Make curled pate
- 1:38:24Speaker 25: ruffians ball, and let the unscarred braggarts of the war
- 1:38:28Speaker 25: derive some pain from you, plague all that your activity
- 1:38:32Speaker 25: may defeat and quell the source of all erection. There's
- 1:38:37Speaker 25: more gold. Do you damn others? And let this damn
- 1:38:40Speaker 25: you and ditches grave you all more campsul.
- 1:38:45Speaker 4: With more money, bounty timon.
- 1:38:48Speaker 25: More horror, more mischief. First I have given you earnest.
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: Strike up the drum towards Athens, farewell time in. If
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: I thrive well, I'll visit thee again.
- 1:39:00Speaker 25: If I hope well, I'll never see thee more. I
- 1:39:03Speaker 25: never did thee harm, Yes, thou spokest well of.
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: Me, call'st thou that harm.
- 1:39:10Speaker 25: Men daily find it? Get thee away and take thy
- 1:39:14Speaker 25: beagles with thee.

- 1:44:29Speaker 27: still never complete the other at high wish best state,
- 1:44:36Speaker 27: contentless as the distracted and most wretched. Being worst and
- 1:44:42Speaker 27: the worst content, Thou shouldst desire to die being miserable.
- 1:44:49Speaker 25: Not by his breath that is more miserable. Thou art
- 1:44:53Speaker 25: a slave whom fortune's tender arm with favor never clasped,
- 1:44:59Speaker 25: but reid a dog head'st Thou, like us, from our
- 1:45:04Speaker 25: first suede, proceeded the sweet degrees that this brief world
- 1:45:08Speaker 25: affords to such as made the passive drugs of it
- 1:45:11Speaker 25: freely command. Thou wouldst have plunged thyself in general riot,
- 1:45:16Speaker 25: melted down thy youth in different beds of lust, and
- 1:45:19Speaker 25: never learned the icy precepts of respect, but followed the
- 1:45:22Speaker 25: sugar game before thee. But myself, who had the world
- 1:45:28Speaker 25: as my confectionery, the mouths, the tongues, the eyes and
- 1:45:32Speaker 25: hearts of men at duty, more than I could frame
- 1:45:35Speaker 25: employment that numberless upon me, stuck as leaves do on
- 1:45:38Speaker 25: the oak have with one winter's brush fell from their
- 1:45:42Speaker 25: boughs and left me open bare. For every storm that blows.
- 1:45:48Speaker 25: I to bear this that never knew. But better is
- 1:45:50Speaker 25: some burden thy nature that commence in sufferance. Time hath
- 1:45:56Speaker 25: made thee hard in it? Why shouldst thou hate men?
- 1:45:59Speaker 25: They never flatter thee? What hast thou given? If thou
- 1:46:03Speaker 25: wilt curse thy father, that poor rag must be thy subject,
- 1:46:08Speaker 25: who in spite puts stuff to some she beggar and
- 1:46:11Speaker 25: compounded thee poor rogue hereditary? Hence begone, if thou hast
- 1:46:18Speaker 25: not been born the worst of men, thou hadst been
- 1:46:21Speaker 25: a knave and flatterer.
- 1:46:23Speaker 9: Ah thou proud?
- 1:46:25Speaker 27: Yet, Aye that I am not the ay that that
- 1:46:29Speaker 27: was no prodigal.
- 1:46:32Speaker 25: Aye that I am one. Now where all the wealth
- 1:46:35Speaker 25: I have shut up in thee, I give thee leave
- 1:46:37Speaker 25: to hang it. Get thee gone, that the whole life
- 1:46:41Speaker 25: of Athens were in this. Thus would I eat.
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: It eating a root?
- 1:46:46Speaker 27: Yeah, I will mend the fish, offering him a route.
- 1:46:51Speaker 25: First, men my company take away thyself, so.
- 1:46:54Speaker 27: I shall mend me. Known by the lack of thine tis.
- 1:46:58Speaker 25: Not well mended, So it is but botched if not I.
- 1:47:02Speaker 10: Would it were?
- 1:47:04Speaker 27: What wouldst thou have to athens.
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: Thee?
- 1:47:11Speaker 25: Either they're in a whirlwind. If thou wilt tell them
- 1:47:14Speaker 25: there I have gold.
- 1:47:15Speaker 10: Look so I have.
- 1:47:17Speaker 25: Here is no use for cold, the best in trust,
- 1:47:22Speaker 25: for here it sleeps and does no higher it harm?
- 1:47:26Speaker 27: Where thy is and Knight's timing.
- 1:47:29Speaker 25: Under that's above me. Where feedst thou a days appimantus hum, where.
- 1:47:35Speaker 27: My stomach finds mate, rather where.
- 1:47:40Speaker 25: I would poison were obedient and knew my mind. Where
- 1:47:45Speaker 25: wouldst thou send it dissauce thy dishes.
- 1:47:50Speaker 27: The middle of humanity Thou never knewest, But the extremity
- 1:47:55Speaker 27: of both ends when thou wast in thy guilt and
- 1:47:59Speaker 27: dipe fume. They moket THEE for too much curiosity. In
- 1:48:05Speaker 27: the rags Thou knowest none, but art despise it. For
- 1:48:09Speaker 27: the contrary, there's a meddler for thee.
- 1:48:13Speaker 25: Eat it, and what I hate I feed not.
- 1:48:17Speaker 27: Oh dostare a meddler?
- 1:48:20Speaker 25: Ay, though it look like THEE, and thou.
- 1:48:23Speaker 27: Hast hated meddlers. Sooner thou shouldst have loved this self better.
- 1:48:28Speaker 27: Now what man didst thou ever know unthrift, that twas
- 1:48:32Speaker 27: beloved after his means.
- 1:48:35Speaker 25: Who without those means thou talkest of, didst thou ever
- 1:48:38Speaker 25: know beloved myself? I understand thee thou hadst some means
- 1:48:43Speaker 25: to keep a dog.
- 1:48:44Speaker 27: What things in the world can thou nearest compare to
- 1:48:47Speaker 27: thy flatterers?
- 1:48:49Speaker 25: Women nearest? But men are the things themselves? What wouldst
- 1:48:55Speaker 25: thou do with the world upamanousividly in thy power.
- 1:48:59Speaker 27: Give it to the beasts to be rid of the men?
- 1:49:03Speaker 25: Wouldst thou have thyself fall on the confusion of men
- 1:49:06Speaker 25: and remain a beast with the beasts? Ay timemn a
- 1:49:11Speaker 25: beastly ambition which the gods granted to attain to. If
- 1:49:16Speaker 25: thou wert the lion, the fox would beguile thee. If
- 1:49:19Speaker 25: thou wert the lamb, the fox would eat thee. If
- 1:49:22Speaker 25: thou wert the fox, the lion would suspect thee, and
- 1:49:25Speaker 25: peradventure thou wart accused by the ass. If thou wert
- 1:49:28Speaker 25: the ass, thy dulness would torment thee and still thou livest,
- 1:49:31Speaker 25: but as a breakfast to the wolf. If thou wert
- 1:49:34Speaker 25: the wolf, thy greediness would afflict thee, and after thou
- 1:49:37Speaker 25: shouldst hazard thy life for thy dinner worked out the unicorn,
- 1:49:41Speaker 25: pride and wrath would confound thee and make thine own
- 1:49:44Speaker 25: self the conquest of thy fury. Wert thou a bear
- 1:49:47Speaker 25: that would be killed by the horse. Ort thou a
- 1:49:49Speaker 25: horse that would be seized by the leopard. Wort our leopard.
- 1:49:52Speaker 25: Thou wert German to the lion, And the spots of
- 1:49:54Speaker 25: thy kindred were jurors on thy life. All thy safety
- 1:49:58Speaker 25: were emotion, and thy defense absence. What beasts couldst thou
- 1:50:01Speaker 25: be that or not subject to a beast? And what
- 1:50:05Speaker 25: a beet start thou already that sees not thy lost
- 1:50:08Speaker 25: in transformation?
- 1:50:10Speaker 27: If thou couldst please me with speaking to me, thou
- 1:50:14Speaker 27: mightst have fit upon it. Here the commonwealth of Athens
- 1:50:17Speaker 27: has become a forest of beasts.
- 1:50:21Speaker 25: How as the s broke the wall that thou art
- 1:50:23Speaker 25: out of the city.
- 1:50:25Speaker 27: Oh yonder comes a poet and the painter. The plague
- 1:50:30Speaker 27: of company light upon thee. I will fear to catch
- 1:50:34Speaker 27: it and give way. When I know not what else
- 1:50:38Speaker 27: to do, I'll sity again.
- 1:50:41Speaker 25: When there is nothing living but THEE that shall be welcome.
- 1:50:44Speaker 25: I had rather be a beggar's dog than a pimentous Ah.
- 1:50:48Speaker 27: Thou art the cap of all the fools alive?
- 1:50:52Speaker 25: Would thou work clean enough to speed upon.
- 1:50:55Speaker 27: That plague on thee? Thou art too bad to cuss.
- 1:51:00Speaker 25: All villains that do stand by thee are pure.
- 1:51:03Speaker 27: There is no leprosy. But what thou spakest?
- 1:51:08Speaker 25: If I name thee, I'll beat thee. But I should
- 1:51:11Speaker 25: infect my hands.
- 1:51:12Speaker 27: Ah, what my tongue could rocks them off?
- 1:51:16Speaker 12: Away?
- 1:51:17Speaker 25: Thou issue of a mangy dog collar does kill me?
- 1:51:21Speaker 25: That thou art alive? I swoon to see thee.
- 1:51:24Speaker 27: What'st thou wdest bust.
- 1:51:27Speaker 25: Away thou tedious rogue? I am sorry, I shall lose
- 1:51:31Speaker 25: a stone by.

- 1:51:35Speaker 25: Best slave.
- 1:51:40Speaker 5: Tat rogue, rogue, rogue.
- 1:51:45Speaker 25: I am sick of this false world, and we love
- 1:51:49Speaker 25: naught but even the mere necessities the punt. Then timon
- 1:51:55Speaker 25: presently prepare thy grave, lie where the light foam of
- 1:52:00Speaker 25: the sea may beat thy gravestone. Daily, Make thine epitaph
- 1:52:07Speaker 25: that death in me. Yet others' lives may laugh to
- 1:52:11Speaker 25: the gold. Oh, thou sweet king, killer and dear divorce
- 1:52:17Speaker 25: TwixT natural son and sire, Thou bright, defiler of Hymen's
- 1:52:22Speaker 25: purest bed, Thou valiant mars, Thou ever young, fresh, loved
- 1:52:27Speaker 25: and delicate, war whose blush dost tall the consecrated snow
- 1:52:32Speaker 25: that lies on Dion's lap, Thou visible God that souldiers
- 1:52:37Speaker 25: close impossibilities and makes them kiss that speakst with every
- 1:52:43Speaker 25: tongue to every purpose. Oh thou touch of hearts, think
- 1:52:50Speaker 25: thy slave man rebels, and by thy virtue set them
- 1:52:56Speaker 25: into confounding odds. That beasts may have the world world
- 1:53:00Speaker 25: in empire.
- 1:53:01Speaker 27: Wood twas, sir, But not till I am dead, I'll
- 1:53:06Speaker 27: say it, Thou ask gold, Thou wilt be thronged too shortly.
- 1:53:11Speaker 25: Throng too Ai thy back, I prithee live and love

- 1:53:30Speaker 25: abhor them.
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: Enter bundity.
- 1:53:33Speaker 5: Where should he have this gold? It is some poor
- 1:53:37Speaker 5: fragments on slender sword of his remainder. The mere want
- 1:53:40Speaker 5: of gold and the falling from of his friends drove
- 1:53:43Speaker 5: him into this melancholy.
- 1:53:45Speaker 19: It is noised he hath a mass of treasure.
- 1:53:48Speaker 23: Let us make the essay upon him. If he care
- 1:53:52Speaker 23: not for it, he will supply us easily, if he
- 1:53:57Speaker 23: coveteously reserve it. How shells get it true?
- 1:54:02Speaker 19: For he bears it not about him? Tis hid?
- 1:54:06Speaker 10: Is not this he?
- 1:54:07Speaker 19: Where tis his description?

- 1:54:13Speaker 5: Save thee timing.
- 1:54:15Speaker 25: Now thieves soldiers not thieves, both too, and women's sons
- 1:54:22Speaker 25: were but men.
- 1:54:25Speaker 19: That much you want want?
- 1:54:27Speaker 25: Your greatest want is you want much of meat? Why
- 1:54:30Speaker 25: should you want? Behold? The earth had roots within this mile,
- 1:54:38Speaker 25: break forth a hundred springs. The oaks bear mast, the
- 1:54:44Speaker 25: briars scarlet hips. The bounty is housewife nature, and each
- 1:54:49Speaker 25: bush lays her full mess before you want? Why want?
- 1:54:55Speaker 5: We cannot live on grass, on berries, water, as beasts
- 1:54:59Speaker 5: and birds and fishes.
- 1:55:01Speaker 25: And are on the beasts themselves the birds and fishes.
- 1:55:05Speaker 25: You must eat, men, Yet thanks I must. You can't
- 1:55:09Speaker 25: that you are thieves, professed, that you work not in
- 1:55:12Speaker 25: holy your shapes, For there is boundless theft in limited professions.
- 1:55:17Speaker 25: Rascal thieves, here's gold, Go suck the subtle blood of
- 1:55:21Speaker 25: the grape, till the high fever see your blood to froth,
- 1:55:26Speaker 25: and so escape hanging. Trust not the physician his antidotes
- 1:55:32Speaker 25: are poison, and he slays more than you rob take
- 1:55:35Speaker 25: wealth than lives. Together do villainy do, since you protest
- 1:55:40Speaker 25: to do it like workmen, I'll example you with thievery.
- 1:55:46Speaker 25: The Sun's a thief, and with his great attraction robs
- 1:55:50Speaker 25: the vast sea. The moons and iron thief and her
- 1:55:53Speaker 25: pale fires she snatches from the sun. The seas a
- 1:55:59Speaker 25: thief who's liquid sworge resolves the moon into salt tears.
- 1:56:03Speaker 25: The Earth's a thief that feeds and breeds by a
- 1:56:06Speaker 25: compostor stolen from general excrement. Each thing's a thief. The
- 1:56:11Speaker 25: laws your curb and whip in their rough power, have
- 1:56:14Speaker 25: on check theft. Love not yourselves away, rob one another.
- 1:56:22Speaker 25: There's more gold cut throats. All that you meet are thieves.
- 1:56:27Speaker 25: To athens, go break open shops. Nothing can you steal,
- 1:56:31Speaker 25: but thieves do lose it. Steal no less for this
- 1:56:35Speaker 25: I give you, and gold can found you. House of air.
- 1:56:41Speaker 23: I mean, has almost charmed me from my profession by
- 1:56:46Speaker 23: persuading me to.
- 1:56:48Speaker 5: It tis in the malice of mankind that he thus
- 1:56:52Speaker 5: advises us not to have us thrive in our mystery.
- 1:56:57Speaker 19: I'll believe him as an enemy, and give over my tray.
- 1:57:00Speaker 5: Let us first see peace in Athens. There is no
- 1:57:04Speaker 5: time so miserable, but a man may be true, excellent bundity, and.
- 1:57:10Speaker 11: To love yous, O you gods, is yon despised and
- 1:57:14Speaker 11: ruinous man, my lord, full of decay and failing, Oh,
- 1:57:18Speaker 11: monument and wonder of good deeds evilly bestowed? What an
- 1:57:22Speaker 11: alteration of honor has desperate want made? What viles thing
- 1:57:27Speaker 11: upon the earth than friends who can bring noblest minds
- 1:57:29Speaker 11: to basest ends? How rarely does it meet with this
- 1:57:33Speaker 11: time's guise when man was wished to love his enemies.
- 1:57:37Speaker 11: Grant I may ever love and rather woo those that
- 1:57:39Speaker 11: would mischief me, and those that do. He has caught
- 1:57:43Speaker 11: me in his eye. I will present my honest grief
- 1:57:46Speaker 11: unto him, and as my lord still serve him with
- 1:57:49Speaker 11: my life, My dearest master.
- 1:57:52Speaker 25: Away, what art thou have you forgot me?
- 1:57:55Speaker 10: Sir?
- 1:57:56Speaker 25: Why dost ask that I have forgot all men? Then
- 1:58:00Speaker 25: if thou grants thou art a man I have forgot.
- 1:58:02Speaker 11: Thee, an honest, poor servant of yours, then I know thee.
- 1:58:06Speaker 10: Not.
- 1:58:06Speaker 25: I never had none of men about me. I all
- 1:58:09Speaker 25: I kept were knaves to serve in meat to villains.
- 1:58:13Speaker 11: The gods are witness ne did poor steward, where a
- 1:58:16Speaker 11: truer grief for his undone lord than mine eyes for you.
- 1:58:20Speaker 25: What dost thou weep? Come nearer?
- 1:58:23Speaker 10: Then?
- 1:58:24Speaker 25: I love thee because thou art a woman, and disclaimst
- 1:58:27Speaker 25: flinty mankind, whose eyes do ne'er give, but through lust
- 1:58:31Speaker 25: and laughter, pity, sleeping strange times that weep with laughing,
- 1:58:37Speaker 25: not with weeping.
- 1:58:38Speaker 11: I beg of you to know me, good, my Lord,
- 1:58:40Speaker 11: to accept my grief, and whilst this poor wealth losts
- 1:58:44Speaker 11: to entertain me as your steward still had.
- 1:58:47Speaker 25: I a steward so true, so just, and now so
- 1:58:52Speaker 25: comfortable it almost turns my dangerous nature mild. Let me behold,
- 1:58:59Speaker 25: I surely this man was born of woman. Forgive my
- 1:59:07Speaker 25: general and acceptless rashness, you, perpetual sober gods. I do
- 1:59:12Speaker 25: proclaim one honest man mistake me not but one no more,
- 1:59:18Speaker 25: I pray, And he's a steward. How fain would I
- 1:59:23Speaker 25: have hated all mankind? And thou redeem'st thyself, but all
- 1:59:29Speaker 25: save thee? I fell with curses. Methinks thou art more
- 1:59:33Speaker 25: honest now than wise, For by oppressing and betraying me,
- 1:59:37Speaker 25: Thou mightst have sooner got another service from any So
- 1:59:41Speaker 25: arrive at second masters upon their first lord's nick. But
- 1:59:46Speaker 25: tell me true, for I must ever doubt thou ne'er
- 1:59:49Speaker 25: so sure is not thy kindness subtle covetous, if not
- 1:59:55Speaker 25: a user in kindness, and as rich men deal gifts
- 1:59:59Speaker 25: ex effecting in return twenty for one, No.
- 2:00:02Speaker 11: My most worthy Master, in whose breast doubt and suspect
- 2:00:06Speaker 11: alas a place too late you should have feared false
- 2:00:10Speaker 11: times when you did feast. Suspect still comes when an
- 2:00:13Speaker 11: estate is least. That which I show Heaven knows is
- 2:00:17Speaker 11: merely love, duty and zeal to your unmatched mind. Care
- 2:00:21Speaker 11: of your food and living. And believe it, my most
- 2:00:24Speaker 11: honored Lord, for any benefit that points to me, either
- 2:00:27Speaker 11: in hope or present, i'd exchange for this one wish
- 2:00:31Speaker 11: that you had power and wealth to requite me by
- 2:00:34Speaker 11: making rich yourself.
- 2:00:36Speaker 25: Look THEE tis so thou singly honest man. Here, take
- 2:00:41Speaker 25: the gods out of my misery, have sent thee treasure.
- 2:00:45Speaker 25: Go live rich and happy. But thus conditioned, thou shalt
- 2:00:50Speaker 25: build from men, hate, all curse, all shore charity to
- 2:00:54Speaker 25: none but that the famished flesh slide from the bone.
- 2:00:57Speaker 25: Ere thou relieve the beggar, give to dogs what thou
- 2:01:02Speaker 25: deniest to men. Let prisons swallow them, deaths wither them
- 2:01:07Speaker 25: to nothing, be men like blasted woods, and make diseases
- 2:01:12Speaker 25: lick up their false bloods, and so farewell and thrive.
- 2:01:17Speaker 11: Oh, let me stay and comfort you, my master.
- 2:01:20Speaker 25: If thou hatest curses, stay not fly, while thou art
- 2:01:24Speaker 25: blessed and free. Ne'er see thou man, and let me

- 2:02:22Speaker 18: What's to be thought of him? Does the rumor hold

- 2:03:01Speaker 17: is very likely to load our purposes with what they travail.
- 2:03:05Speaker 17: For if it be a just, true report.
- 2:03:07Speaker 18: That goes of his having, what have you now to
- 2:03:10Speaker 18: present unto him?
- 2:03:11Speaker 17: Nothing at this time but my visitation only, I will
- 2:03:14Speaker 17: promise him an excellent peace.
- 2:03:17Speaker 18: I must serve him so too, tell him of an
- 2:03:20Speaker 18: intent that's coming toward him.
- 2:03:22Speaker 17: Good as the best promising is the very air of
- 2:03:25Speaker 17: the time. It opens the eyes of expectation. Performance is
- 2:03:30Speaker 17: ever the duller for his act, and but in the
- 2:03:33Speaker 17: plainer and simpler kind of people, the deed of saying
- 2:03:36Speaker 17: is quite out of use. To promise his most courtly
- 2:03:40Speaker 17: unfashionable performance is a kind of will, a testament which
- 2:03:44Speaker 17: argues a great sickness in his judgment that makes it.
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: Timon comes from his cave behind.
- 2:03:51Speaker 25: Aside excellent workman, thou canst not paint a man so
- 2:03:56Speaker 25: bad as is thyself.
- 2:03:58Speaker 18: I am thinking what I shall say I have provided
- 2:04:01Speaker 18: for him. It must be a personating of himself, a
- 2:04:04Speaker 18: satire against the softness of prosperity, with the discovery of
- 2:04:09Speaker 18: the infinite flatteries that follow youth and opulency.
- 2:04:13Speaker 25: Aside, must thou needs stand for a villain in thine
- 2:04:17Speaker 25: own work. Wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?
- 2:04:22Speaker 8: Do so?
- 2:04:23Speaker 10: I have gold for thee.
- 2:04:26Speaker 18: Nay, let's seek him. Then do we sin against our
- 2:04:30Speaker 18: own estate when we may profit meet and come too late?
- 2:04:35Speaker 17: True, when the day serves before the black corn and night,
- 2:04:39Speaker 17: find what thou wants by free and offered light.
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: Come aside.
- 2:04:44Speaker 25: I'll meet you at the turn. What a God's gold
- 2:04:48Speaker 25: that he is worshiped in a baser temple than where
- 2:04:51Speaker 25: swine feed tis thou that reachst the back and plows
- 2:04:56Speaker 25: the foam settlest admired reverence in a sleigh. Ebe to
- 2:05:01Speaker 25: thee be worship and thy saints, For I be crowned
- 2:05:06Speaker 25: with plagues. Did THEE alone obey fit I meet them,
- 2:05:11Speaker 25: coming forward.
- 2:05:12Speaker 18: Hail worthy timon all light.
- 2:05:15Speaker 25: Noble master, have I once lived to see two honest men.
- 2:05:19Speaker 18: Sir, having often of your open bounty, tasted hearing you
- 2:05:25Speaker 18: were retired, your friend's fallen off, whose thankless natures oh
- 2:05:30Speaker 18: abhorred spirits?
- 2:05:31Speaker 8: Not all the whips of.
- 2:05:33Speaker 18: Heaven are large enough. What to you, whose star like
- 2:05:38Speaker 18: nobleness gave life and influence to their whole being? I
- 2:05:42Speaker 18: am wrapped and cannot cover the monstrous bulk of this
- 2:05:46Speaker 18: ingratitude with any size of words.
- 2:05:49Speaker 25: Let it go, naked, men may see the better. You
- 2:05:53Speaker 25: that are honest by being what you are, make them
- 2:05:55Speaker 25: best seen and known.
- 2:05:57Speaker 17: He and myself have travailed in the great show of
- 2:06:00Speaker 17: your gifts and sweetly felt it.
- 2:06:03Speaker 25: Aye, you are honest men.
- 2:06:05Speaker 17: We are heather come to offer you our service, most
- 2:06:09Speaker 17: honest men.
- 2:06:10Speaker 25: Why how shall I requite you? Can you eat roots
- 2:06:14Speaker 25: and drink cold water?
- 2:06:16Speaker 15: No?
- 2:06:17Speaker 17: What we can do will do do to do service.
- 2:06:22Speaker 25: You're honest men. You've heard that I have gold. I'm
- 2:06:24Speaker 25: sure you have speak truth. You're honest men, so.
- 2:06:27Speaker 17: It is said, my noble lord. But therefore come, not
- 2:06:30Speaker 17: my friend.
- 2:06:31Speaker 25: Nor I good honest men, Thou drawest a counterfeit best
- 2:06:35Speaker 25: in all athens. Thou art indeed the best. Thou counterfeits
- 2:06:39Speaker 25: most lively. So so, my lord e and so sir,
- 2:06:43Speaker 25: as I say, And for die fiction, why diverse swells
- 2:06:48Speaker 25: with stuff so fine and smooth that thou art even
- 2:06:51Speaker 25: natural in thine art. But for all this, my honest
- 2:06:56Speaker 25: natured friends, I must need say, you have a little fault.
- 2:07:00Speaker 25: Mary tis not monstrous in you, neither wish I you
- 2:07:03Speaker 25: take much pains to mend.
- 2:07:07Speaker 18: May make it known to us. You'll take it ill
- 2:07:10Speaker 18: most thankfully, my lord. Will you indeed, worthy, Lord.
- 2:07:16Speaker 25: There's never a one of you but trusts a knave
- 2:07:19Speaker 25: that mightily deceives you. Do we, my lord aye? And
- 2:07:25Speaker 25: you hear him, cog see him dissemble, know his gross patchery,
- 2:07:30Speaker 25: love him, feed him, keep him in your bosom, yet
- 2:07:34Speaker 25: remain assured that he's a made up villain. I know
- 2:07:38Speaker 25: none such, my Lord, nor I look you, I love
- 2:07:43Speaker 25: you well. I'll give you gold. Read me these villains
- 2:07:47Speaker 25: from your companies. Hang them or stab them, drown them
- 2:07:51Speaker 25: in a draft, confound them by some course, and come
- 2:07:54Speaker 25: to me. I'll give you gold enough name, my lord,
- 2:07:58Speaker 25: Let's know them you that way, and you this, but
- 2:08:02Speaker 25: two in company, each man apart, all single and alone.
- 2:08:07Speaker 25: Yet an arch villain keeps him company. If where thou art,
- 2:08:12Speaker 25: two villains shall not be come not near him, if
- 2:08:15Speaker 25: thou wouldst not reside. But where one villain is, then
- 2:08:18Speaker 25: him abandoned. Hence, pack, there's gold. You came for gold,
- 2:08:23Speaker 25: ye slaves. To painter, you have worked for me, there's
- 2:08:26Speaker 25: payment for you. Hence to poet, you are an alchemist.
- 2:08:30Speaker 25: Make gold of that out rascal dogs.
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: Beats them out, and then retires to his cave. And
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: to Flavius and two senators, it is.
- 2:08:41Speaker 11: In vain that you would speak with Simon, For he
- 2:08:43Speaker 11: is said so only to himself, that nothing but himself,
- 2:08:46Speaker 11: which looks like man, is friendly with him.
- 2:08:49Speaker 9: Bring us to his cave. It is our part, and
- 2:08:52Speaker 9: promise to the Athenians to speak with Timon.
- 2:08:56Speaker 21: At all times. Alike, men are not still the same
- 2:09:00Speaker 21: twas time and griefs that framed him. Thus, Time, with
- 2:09:04Speaker 21: his fair hand, offering the fortunes of his former days,
- 2:09:08Speaker 21: the former man may make him. Bring us to him,
- 2:09:12Speaker 21: and chance it as it may.
- 2:09:15Speaker 11: Here is his cave, peace and content be here, Lord Timon.
- 2:09:19Speaker 11: Timeon look out and speak to friends. The Athenians, by
- 2:09:23Speaker 11: two of their most reverent senate greet THEE. Speak to them,
- 2:09:27Speaker 11: noble Timon.
- 2:09:28Speaker 25: Timon comes from his cave, Thou soun that comforts born,
- 2:09:35Speaker 25: speak and be hanged, for each true word a blister,
- 2:09:40Speaker 25: and each false be as a cauterizing to the root
- 2:09:44Speaker 25: of the tongue, consuming it with speaking worthy Timon of
- 2:09:49Speaker 25: none but such as you, and you of Timan.
- 2:09:52Speaker 9: The senators of Athens greet THEE Timeon.
- 2:09:55Speaker 25: I thank them, and would send them back the plague,
- 2:09:58Speaker 25: Could I but catch it for them?
- 2:10:00Speaker 9: Oh, forget what we are sorry for ourselves in thee.
- 2:10:05Speaker 9: The senators, with one consent of love, entreat THEE back
- 2:10:09Speaker 9: to Athens, who have thought on special dignities which vacant
- 2:10:13Speaker 9: lie for thy best use, and wearing.
- 2:10:17Speaker 21: They confess toward THEE forgetfulness too general gross which now
- 2:10:23Speaker 21: the public body, which doth seldom play the recanter, feeling
- 2:10:28Speaker 21: in itself a lack of Timan's aid, hath sensewithal of
- 2:10:32Speaker 21: its own fail restraining aid to tymon, and send forth
- 2:10:38Speaker 21: us to make their sorrowed render, together with a recompense
- 2:10:42Speaker 21: more fruitful than their offense can weigh down by the
- 2:10:45Speaker 21: dram Aye, even such heaps and sums of love and
- 2:10:50Speaker 21: wealth as shall to THEE blot out what wrong to theirs,
- 2:10:55Speaker 21: and right in thee the figures of their love, ever
- 2:10:58Speaker 21: to read them, Thine.
- 2:11:00Speaker 25: You witch me in it, surprise me to the very
- 2:11:03Speaker 25: brink of tears, lend me a fool's heart and a
- 2:11:07Speaker 25: woman's eyes, And I beweep these comforts worth the senators.
- 2:11:13Speaker 9: Therefore, so please THEE to return with us and of
- 2:11:16Speaker 9: our Athens, thine and ours to take the captainship. Thou
- 2:11:21Speaker 9: shalt be met with thanks aloud, with absolute authority, and
- 2:11:26Speaker 9: thy good name live with authority. So soon we shall
- 2:11:30Speaker 9: drive back of Alcibiades the approaches wild, who, like a
- 2:11:34Speaker 9: boar too savage, doth root up his country's peace and.
- 2:11:39Speaker 21: Shakes his threatening sword against the walls of Athens.
- 2:11:44Speaker 25: Therefore Timan, well, sir, I will, Therefore I will, sir. Thus,
- 2:11:51Speaker 25: if Alcibiades kill my countrymen with Alcibiades, nor this of Timon,
- 2:11:57Speaker 25: the Timon cares not. But if he sack fair Athens
- 2:12:02Speaker 25: and take our goodly aged men by the beards, giving
- 2:12:05Speaker 25: our holy virgins to the stain of contumelious, beastly, mad
- 2:12:10Speaker 25: brained war. Then let him know and tell him Timon
- 2:12:13Speaker 25: speaks it in pity of our aged and our youth.
- 2:12:17Speaker 25: I cannot choose but tell him that I care not,
- 2:12:21Speaker 25: and let him take at worst for their knives. Care
- 2:12:23Speaker 25: not while you have throats to answer for myself. There's
- 2:12:27Speaker 25: not a whit and unruly camp. But I do prize
- 2:12:31Speaker 25: it at my love before the reverendest throat in Athens.
- 2:12:36Speaker 25: So I leave you to the protection of the prosperous gods,
- 2:12:39Speaker 25: as thieves to keepers.
- 2:12:41Speaker 18: Stay.
- 2:12:41Speaker 11: Not all's in vain.
- 2:12:43Speaker 25: Why I was writing of my epitaph. It will be
- 2:12:47Speaker 25: seen tomorrow. My long sickness of health and living now
- 2:12:51Speaker 25: begins to mend, and nothing brings me All things go
- 2:12:58Speaker 25: live still be al sebiades your plague.
- 2:13:02Speaker 3: You his, and last so long enough we speak in vain.
- 2:13:08Speaker 25: But yet I love my country, and I am not
- 2:13:11Speaker 25: one that rejoices in the common wreck, as common breed
- 2:13:15Speaker 25: doth put it.
- 2:13:17Speaker 9: That's well spoke.
- 2:13:18Speaker 25: Commend me to my loving countrymen.
- 2:13:21Speaker 9: These words become your lips as they pass through them.
- 2:13:24Speaker 21: And in our ears, like great triumphers in their applauding gates.
- 2:13:29Speaker 25: Commend me to them and tell them that to ease
- 2:13:33Speaker 25: them of their griefs, their fears of hostile strokes, their aches, losses,
- 2:13:38Speaker 25: their pangs of love with other incident throws that nature's
- 2:13:42Speaker 25: fragile vessel doth sustain in life starn certain voyage. I
- 2:13:46Speaker 25: will some kindness do them. I'll teach them to prevent
- 2:13:50Speaker 25: wild al sibiades wrath.
- 2:13:52Speaker 9: I like this, well, he will return again.
- 2:13:55Speaker 25: I have a tree which grows here in my clothes
- 2:14:00Speaker 25: that mine own youth invite me to cut down and sharply,
- 2:14:03Speaker 25: I must fel it. Tell my friends. Tell Athens, in
- 2:14:08Speaker 25: the sequence of degree from high tall o throughout, that
- 2:14:11Speaker 25: whoso please to stop affliction, let him take his haste.
- 2:14:16Speaker 25: Come hither ere my tree hath felt the axe and
- 2:14:20Speaker 25: hang himself. I pray you do my greeting trouble.
- 2:14:24Speaker 11: Him no further. Thus you still shall find him.
- 2:14:28Speaker 25: Come not to me again, but say to Athens Timon
- 2:14:33Speaker 25: hath made his everlasting mansion upon the beeched verge of
- 2:14:38Speaker 25: the salt flood, who once a day with his embossed
- 2:14:42Speaker 25: froth the turbulent swords shall cover thither. Come and let
- 2:14:48Speaker 25: my gravestone be your oracle. Lips. Let sour words go by,
- 2:14:56Speaker 25: and language end? What is a miss plague and infection?
- 2:15:04Speaker 29: Men?
- 2:15:05Speaker 25: Graves only be men's works and death? There again, sun
- 2:15:16Speaker 25: hide thy beams. Timon hath done his reign.
- 2:15:22Speaker 1: Retires to his cave.
- 2:15:24Speaker 9: His discontents are unremovably coupled to nature.
- 2:15:29Speaker 21: Oh, hoping him is dead, Let us return and strain
- 2:15:33Speaker 21: what other major is left unto us in our dear peril.
- 2:15:38Speaker 9: It requires swift foot.
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: Excellent Act five, Scene two, Before the walls of Athens
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: enter two senators and a messenger.
- 2:15:51Speaker 9: Thou hast painfully discovered. Are his files as full as
- 2:15:55Speaker 9: thy report I have.
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: Spilt the least?
- 2:15:58Speaker 16: Besides his expedition promises present approach.
- 2:16:02Speaker 21: We stand much hazard if they bring not Tyman.
- 2:16:06Speaker 16: I met a courier one mine, ancient friend, whom, though
- 2:16:10Speaker 16: in general part we were opposed, yet our old love
- 2:16:14Speaker 16: made our particular force and made us speak like friends.
- 2:16:19Speaker 16: This man was writing from AlSi Baieties to Timond's cave,
- 2:16:23Speaker 16: with letters of entreaty, which imported his fellowship is the
- 2:16:27Speaker 16: cause against your city in part for his sake moved
- 2:16:31Speaker 16: here come our.
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: Brothers enter the Senatols from Tymen.
- 2:16:36Speaker 4: No talk of Timon, Nothing of him expect. The enemy's
- 2:16:40Speaker 4: drum is heard, and fearful scouring doth choke the air
- 2:16:44Speaker 4: with dust in and prepare ours is the fall? I
- 2:16:49Speaker 4: fear our foes the snare.
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: Excellent, Act five, Scene three, the woods Tymond's cave in
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: the rude tomb scene enter a soldier seeking Timon.
- 2:17:06Speaker 3: By all description, this should be the place. Who's here? Speak?
- 2:17:12Speaker 3: Ho no answer?
- 2:17:16Speaker 10: What is this?
- 2:17:18Speaker 3: Timon is dead? Who hath outstretched his span? Some beast reared?
- 2:17:25Speaker 10: This?
- 2:17:25Speaker 3: There does not live a man dead?
- 2:17:29Speaker 9: Sure? And this his grave?
- 2:17:33Speaker 3: What's on this tomb? I cannot read the character? I'll
- 2:17:39Speaker 3: take with wax. Our captain have in every figure skill
- 2:17:43Speaker 3: an aged interpreter, though young in days before proud Athens.
- 2:17:49Speaker 3: He's set down by this whose fall. The mark of
- 2:17:54Speaker 3: his ambition is exit.
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: Act five, Scene four, Before the walls of Athens, trumpets sound,
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: and to Alcibiades, with his powers.
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: Sound to this coward and lascivious town, our terrible approach.
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: A parley sounded, And to Senatos on the walls.
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: Till now you have gone on and filled the time
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: with all assentious measure, making your wills the scope of justice,
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: till Now myself and such as slept within the shadow
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: of your power have wandered with our traversed arms and
- 2:18:35Speaker 2: breathed our sufferings vainly. Now the time is flush, when
- 2:18:40Speaker 2: crouching marrow in the barer, strong cries of itself no more.
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: Now breathless wrong shall sit and pant in your great
- 2:18:49Speaker 2: chairs of ease and percy. Insolence shall break his wind
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: with fear and horrid flight.
- 2:18:56Speaker 9: Noble and young, when thy first griefs were but a
- 2:19:00Speaker 9: mere conceit, ere thou hadst power or we had cause
- 2:19:04Speaker 9: of fear, we sent to thee to give thy rages,
- 2:19:07Speaker 9: bomb to wipe out our ingratitude with loves above their quantity.
- 2:19:13Speaker 21: So did we woo transformed time into our city's love.
- 2:19:17Speaker 21: By humble message and by promised means. We were not
- 2:19:22Speaker 21: all unkind, nor all deserved the common stroke of war.
- 2:19:27Speaker 9: These walls of ours were not erected by their hands
- 2:19:30Speaker 9: from whom you have received your griefs. Nor are they
- 2:19:33Speaker 9: such that these great towers, trophies, and schools should fall
- 2:19:38Speaker 9: for private faults in.
- 2:19:39Speaker 21: Them, Nor are they living. Who were the motives that
- 2:19:43Speaker 21: you first went out shame that they wanted cunning in
- 2:19:47Speaker 21: excess hath broke their hearts. March noble lord into our
- 2:19:52Speaker 21: city with thy banner's spread by decimation, and attie the death.
- 2:19:57Speaker 21: If thy revengest hunger for that food rood which nature lives,
- 2:20:02Speaker 21: take thou the destined tenth, and by the hazard of
- 2:20:06Speaker 21: the spotted die, Let die the spotted.
- 2:20:10Speaker 9: All have not offended for those that were. It is
- 2:20:14Speaker 9: not square to take on those that are revenges crimes
- 2:20:18Speaker 9: like lands are not inherited. Then, dear countrymen, bring in
- 2:20:23Speaker 9: thy ranks, but leave without thy rage. Spare thy Athenian
- 2:20:29Speaker 9: cradle and those kin which in the bluster of thy
- 2:20:32Speaker 9: wrath must fall with those that have offended. Like a shepherd,
- 2:20:37Speaker 9: approach the fold and call the infected forth, But kill
- 2:20:42Speaker 9: not all together.
- 2:20:44Speaker 21: What thou wilt the rather shut, enforce it with thy smile,
- 2:20:48Speaker 21: than hugh to it with thy sword.
- 2:20:51Speaker 9: Set but thy foot against our rampired gates, and they
- 2:20:54Speaker 9: shall hope. So thou wilt send thy gentle heart before
- 2:20:58Speaker 9: to say, thou'lt enter friends.
- 2:21:01Speaker 21: Through thy glove or any token of thine honor, Else
- 2:21:04Speaker 21: that thou wilt use the wars as thy redress, and
- 2:21:07Speaker 21: not as our confusion or thy powers shall make the
- 2:21:11Speaker 21: harbor in our town till we have sealed thy full desire.
- 2:21:16Speaker 2: Then there's my glove. Descend and open your uncharged poets,
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: those enemies of Timons and mine own, whom you yourselves
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: shall set out for a reproof fall and no more,
- 2:21:30Speaker 2: and to atone your fears with my more noble meaning.
- 2:21:33Speaker 2: Not a man shall pass his quarter or offend the
- 2:21:36Speaker 2: stream of regular justice in your city's bounds, but shall
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: be rendered to your public laws at heaviest answer, tears
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: be spoken. Descend and keep your.
- 2:21:50Speaker 1: Words, the senatols. Descend and open the gates, and test, soldier.
- 2:21:57Speaker 3: My noble general time on is dead, entombed upon the
- 2:22:02Speaker 3: very hem of the sea, and on his gravestone. This
- 2:22:06Speaker 3: in sculpture, which with wax I brought away, whose soft
- 2:22:11Speaker 3: impression interprets for my poor ignorance, reach the epitaph.
- 2:22:16Speaker 2: Here lies a wretched corpse, of wretched soul, bereft. Seek
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: not my name a plague, consume you wicked cadiffs. Left
- 2:22:25Speaker 2: Here lie eye Timin, who alive all living men did hate,
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: pass by and curse thy fill, but pass and stay
- 2:22:34Speaker 2: not hear thy gait. These well express in thee thy
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: latter spirits, though thou abhorrest in us, our human griefs,
- 2:22:44Speaker 2: scorn'st our brains flow, and those our droplets which from
- 2:22:48Speaker 2: niggard nature fall, yet rich conceit taught THEE to make
