_Apem._ Hoy-day, what a sweep of vanity comes this way![1835][1836][1837] They dance! they are mad women.[1836][1837][1838] Like madness is the glory of this life,[1837][1839] As this pomp shows to a little oil and root.[1837][1840] 125 We make ourselves fools, to disport ourselves,[1837] And spend our flatteries, to drink those men[1837] Upon whose age we void it up again[1837] With poisonous spite and envy.[1837][1841] Who lives, that's not depraved or depraves?[1841][1842] 130 Who dies, that bears not one spurn to their graves[1841] Of their friends' gift?[1841][1843] I should fear those that dance before me now Would one day stamp upon me: 't has been done;[1844] Men shut their doors against a setting sun.[1845] 135 _The_ Lords _rise from table, with much adoring of_ TIMON; _and to show their loves, each singles out an_ Amazon, _and all dance, men with women, a lofty strain or two to the hautboys, and cease._[1846] _Tim._ You have done our pleasures much grace, fair ladies,[1847] Set a fair fashion on our entertainment,[1848] Which was not half so beautiful and kind; You have added worth unto 't and lustre,[1849] And entertain'd me with mine own device: 140 I am to thank you for 't.[1850] _First Lady._ My lord, you take us even at the best.[1851] _Apem._ Faith, for the worst is filthy, and would not hold[1852] taking, I doubt me.[1852] _Tim._ Ladies, there is an idle banquet attends you:[1853][1854] 145 Please you to dispose yourselves.[1853] _All Lad._ Most thankfully, my lord.[1855] [_Exeunt Cupid and Ladies._ _Tim._ Flavius! _Flav._ My lord? _Tim._ The little casket bring me hither. _Flav._ Yes, my lord. [_Aside_] More jewels yet![1856][1857][1858] 150 There is no crossing him in 's humour;[1857][1859] Else I should tell him--well, i' faith, I should--[1860] When all's spent, he'ld be cross'd then, an he could.[1861] 'Tis pity bounty had not eyes behind,[1862] That man might ne'er be wretched for his mind.[1863] [_Exit._ 155 _First Lord._ Where be our men?[1864] _Serv._ Here, my lord, in readiness. _Sec. Lord._ Our horses![1865] _Re-enter_ FLAVIUS, _with the casket_.[1866] _Tim._ O my friends,[1867] I have one word to say to you: look you, my good lord,[1867][1868] 160 I must entreat you, honour me so much[1867][1869] As to advance this jewel; accept it and wear it,[1867][1870] Kind my lord.[1867][1871] _First Lord._ I am so far already in your gifts,--[1872] _All._ So are we all.[1873] 165 _Enter a_ Servant.
