In this reading he was followed by Theobald, Hanmer and Warburton. Johnson read:
'Most honour'd Timon, it hath pleas'd the Gods
To remember my father's age,
And call him to long peace.'
Capell has:
Most honour'd Timon,
'T hath pleas'd the gods in kindness to remember
My father's age, and call him to long peace.'
Steevens (1773) has:
'Most honour'd Timon, it hath pleas'd the Gods to remember
My father's age, and call him to long peace.'
In his edition of 1793 he read 'remember' for 'to remember.'
Note IV.
I. 2. 53-58. The Folios print Apemantus's speech as prose down to 'Timon'; then as four lines of verse:
'Heere's that which is too weake to be a sinner,
Honest water, which nere left man i' th' mire:
This &c.'
