Pain. I know none such, my lord.
Poet. Nor I.[2692]
Tim. Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold,[2693]
Rid me these villains from your companies:
Hang them or stab them, drown them in a draught,[2694] 100
Confound them by some course, and come to me,
I'll give you gold enough.
Both. Name them, my lord, let's know them.
Tim. You that way, and you this, but two in company:[2695]
Each man apart, all single and alone,[2696] 105
Yet an arch-villain keeps him company.
If, where thou art, two villains shall not be,[2697]
Come not near him. If thou wouldst not reside[2698]
But where one villain is, then him abandon.
Hence, pack! there's gold; you came for gold, ye slaves:[2699] 110
[To Painter] You have work for me, there's payment: hence![2700]
[To Poet] You are an alchemist, make gold of that:
Out, rascal dogs! [Beats them out, and then retires into his cave.[2701]
Enter Flavius and two Senators.
Flav. It is in vain that you would speak with Timon;[2702]
For he is set so only to himself 115
That nothing but himself which looks like man
Is friendly with him.
First Sen. Bring us to his cave:
It is our part and promise to the Athenians[2703]
To speak with Timon.
Sec. Sen. At all times alike
Men are not still the same: 'twas time and griefs 120
That framed him thus: time, with his fairer hand,
Offering the fortunes of his former days,
The former man may make him. Bring us to him,
And chance it as it may.[2704]
Flav. Here is his cave.
Peace and content be here! Lord Timon! Timon![2705] 125
Look out, and speak to friends: the Athenians
By two of their most reverend senate greet thee:
Speak to them, noble Timon.[2706]
