Scene I. Athens. A hall in Timon's house.[1597]
Enter Poet, Painter, Jeweller, Merchant, and others, at several doors.[1598]
Poet. Good day, sir.[1599][1600]
Pain. I am glad you're well.[1599]
Poet. I have not seen you long: how goes the world?[1601]
Pain. It wears, sir, as it grows.
Poet. Ay, that's well known:
But what particular rarity? what strange,[1602]
Which manifold record not matches? See,[1603][1604] 5
Magic of bounty! all these spirits thy power[1604]
Hath conjured to attend. I know the merchant.[1605]
Pain. I know them both; th' other's a jeweller.
Mer. O, 'tis a worthy lord!
Jew. Nay, that's most fix'd.
