_Tim._ You may take my word, my lord; I know, no[1909] man can justly praise, but what he does affect: I weigh[1909] 210 my friend's affection with mine own: I'll tell you true. I'll[1909][1910] call to you.[1909][1911] _All Lords._ O, none so welcome.[1907] _Tim._ I take all and your several visitations So kind to heart, 'tis not enough to give:[1912] 215 Methinks, I could deal kingdoms to my friends,[1912] And ne'er be weary. Alcibiades, Thou art a soldier, therefore seldom rich; It comes in charity to thee: for all thy living[1913] Is 'mongst the dead, and all the lands thou hast 220 Lie in a pitch'd field. _Alcib._ Ay, defiled land, my lord.[1914][1915] _First Lord._ We are so virtuously bound--[1915][1916] _Tim._ And so am I to you.[1915] _Sec. Lord._ So infinitely endear'd--[1915][1917][1918] 225 _Tim._ All to you. Lights, more lights![1918][1919] _First Lord._ The best of happiness, honour and fortunes, keep with you, Lord Timon![1920][1921] _Tim._ Ready for his friends.[1920][1922] [_Exeunt all but Apemantus and Timon._ _Apem._ What a coil's here![1923][1924] Serving of becks and jutting-out of bums![1924][1925] 230 I doubt whether their legs be worth the sums[1924] That are given for 'em. Friendship's full of dregs:[1924] Methinks, false hearts should never have sound legs. Thus honest fools lay out their wealth on court'sies. _Tim._ Now, Apemantus, if thou wert not sullen, 235 I would be good to thee. _Apem._ No, I'll nothing: for if I should be bribed too,[1926] there would be none left to rail upon thee; and then thou[1926] wouldst sin the faster. Thou givest so long, Timon, I fear[1926] me thou wilt give away thyself in paper shortly: what[1926][1927] 240 needs these feasts, pomps and vain-glories?[1926][1928] _Tim._ Nay, an you begin to rail on society once, I am[1926][1929] sworn not to give regard to you. Farewell; and come with[1926] better music.[1926] [_Exit._ _Apem._ So: thou wilt not hear me now; thou shalt not[1930][1931] 245 then: I'll lock thy heaven from thee.[1930][1932] O, that men's ears should be[1930] To counsel deaf, but not to flattery![1930] [_Exit._ FOOTNOTES: [1597] ACT I.
