There is much here that seems dubious. Holds might seem preferable to 'Halts'; yet I would make no change; for 'Halts not particularly,' I think, may mean stops at, dwells on, no individual. For 'wax' we might read, as has been proposed, verse; but the allusion may be to the waxed tables on which the ancients wrote. We might also read Which for 'But,' yet it is more probable that a line is lost before it.
"To those have shut him up; which failing him."
So Capell also; 2nd folio to him.
"My friend when he must need me."
Better, perhaps, with 3rd folio, most needs.
"Therefore he will be, Timon."
Something is lost after 'be,' and Timon is never addressed during his prosperity by any one but Apemantus without Lord or some other title of honour. I therefore read 'he will be blest, Lord Timon.' In ii. 2, we have an omission of 'Lord' by the printer. Singer proposed rewarded after 'be.' Possibly 'Timon' was a mere addition of the printer's.
