Tim. Give me breath.
I do beseech you, good my lords, keep on;
I'll wait upon you instantly. [Exeunt Alcibiades, Lords, &c.
[To Flav.] Come hither: pray you,[1969]40
How goes the world, that I am thus encounter'd
With clamorous demands of date-broke bonds,[1970]
And the detention of long-since-due debts,[1971]
Against my honour?
Flav. Please you, gentlemen,
The time is unagreeable to this business: 45
Your importunacy cease till after dinner,[1972]
That I may make his lordship understand
Wherefore you are not paid.
Tim. Do so, my friends. See them well entertain'd.[1973] [Exit.
Flav. Pray, draw near.[1974] [Exit. 50
Enter Apemantus and Fool.
Caph. Stay, stay, here comes the fool with Apemantus:[1975][1976]
let's ha' some sport with 'em.[1976][1977]
Var. Serv. Hang him, he'll abuse us.
Isid. Serv. A plague upon him, dog!
Var. Serv. How dost, fool? 55
Apem. Dost dialogue with thy shadow?
