  • As you have said, my lord.

  • Timon. I will dispatch you severally; you to Lord Lucius;
    to Lord Lucullus you: I hunted with his honour
    to-day: you, to Sempronius: commend me to their
    loves, and, I am proud, say, that my occasions have
    found time to use 'em toward a supply of money: let
    the request be fifty talents.

    Flaminius. As you have said, my lord.

  • His health is well sir.
  • His health is well sir.
  • Lucullus. [Aside] One of Lord Timon's men? a gift, I
    warrant. Why, this hits right; I dreamt of a silver
    basin and ewer to-night. Flaminius, honest
    Flaminius; you are very respectively welcome, sir.
    Fill me some wine.
    [Exit Servants]
    And how does that honourable, complete, free-hearted
    gentleman of Athens, thy very bountiful good lord
    and master?

    Flaminius. His health is well sir.

  • 'Faith, nothing but an empty box, sir; which, in my
    lord's behalf, I come to...
  • 'Faith, nothing but an empty box, sir; which, in my
    lord's behalf, I come to entreat your honour to
    supply; who, having great and instant occasion to
    use fifty talents, hath sent to your lordship to
    furnish him, nothing doubting your present
    assistance therein.
  • Lucullus. I am right glad that his health is well, sir: and
    what hast thou there under thy cloak, pretty Flaminius?

    Flaminius. 'Faith, nothing but an empty box, sir; which, in my
    lord's behalf, I come to entreat your honour to
    supply; who, having great and instant occasion to
    use fifty talents, hath sent to your lordship to
    furnish him, nothing doubting your present
    assistance therein.

  • Your lordship speaks your pleasure.
  • Your lordship speaks your pleasure.
  • Lucullus. Flaminius, I have noted thee always wise. Here's to thee.

  • Is't possible the world should so much differ,
    And we alive that lived? Fly,...
  • Is't possible the world should so much differ,
    And we alive that lived? Fly, damned baseness,
    To him that worships thee!
  • Lucullus. I have observed thee always for a towardly prompt
    spirit--give thee thy due--and one that knows what
    belongs to reason; and canst use the time well, if
    the time use thee well: good parts in thee.
    [To Servant]
    Get you gone, sirrah.
    [Exit Servant]
    Draw nearer, honest Flaminius. Thy lord's a
    bountiful gentleman: but thou art wise; and thou
    knowest well enough, although thou comest to me,
    that this is no time to lend money, especially upon
    bare friendship, without security. Here's three
    solidares for thee: good boy, wink at me, and say
    thou sawest me not. Fare thee well.

    Flaminius. Is't possible the world should so much differ,
    And we alive that lived? Fly, damned baseness,
    To him that worships thee!

  • May these add to the number that may scald thee!
    Let moulten coin be thy dam...
  • May these add to the number that may scald thee!
    Let moulten coin be thy damnation,
    Thou disease of a friend, and not himself!
    Has friendship such a faint and milky heart,
    It turns in less than two nights? O you gods,
    I feel master's passion! this slave,
    Unto his honour, has my lord's meat in him:
    Why should it thrive and turn to nutriment,
    When he is turn'd to poison?
    O, may diseases only work upon't!
    And, when he's sick to death, let not that part of nature
    Which my lord paid for, be of any power
    To expel sickness, but prolong his hour!
  • Lucullus. Ha! now I see thou art a fool, and fit for thy master.

    Flaminius. May these add to the number that may scald thee!
    Let moulten coin be thy damnation,
    Thou disease of a friend, and not himself!
    Has friendship such a faint and milky heart,
    It turns in less than two nights? O you gods,
    I feel master's passion! this slave,
    Unto his honour, has my lord's meat in him:
    Why should it thrive and turn to nutriment,
    When he is turn'd to poison?
    O, may diseases only work upon't!
    And, when he's sick to death, let not that part of nature
    Which my lord paid for, be of any power
    To expel sickness, but prolong his hour!

  • No, indeed, he is not.
  • No, indeed, he is not.
  • Titus. One of Lord Timon's men.
    come forth?

    Flaminius. No, indeed, he is not.

9 III / 4
  • I need not tell him that; he knows you are too diligent.
  • I need not tell him that; he knows you are too diligent.
  • Titus. We attend his lordship; pray, signify so much.

    Flaminius. I need not tell him that; he knows you are too diligent.

  • [Within] Servilius, help! My lord! my lord!

    Flaminius. [Within] Servilius, help! My lord! my lord!
