ACT III.
SCENE I. _A room in Lucullus's house._[2054]
FLAMINIUS _waiting. Enter a_ Servant _to him_.[2055]
_Serv._ I have told my lord of you; he is coming down
to you.[2056]
_Flam._ I thank you, sir.
_Enter_ LUCULLUS.
_Serv._ Here's my lord.
_Lucul._ [_Aside_] One of Lord Timon's men? a gift, I[2057] 5
warrant. Why, this hits right; I dreamt of a silver basin
and ewer to-night. Flaminius, honest Flaminius; you are[2058]
very respectively welcome, sir. Fill me some wine.[2058] [_Exit_
_Servant._] And how does that honourable, complete, freehearted
gentleman of Athens, thy very bountiful good lord 10
and master?
_Flam._ His health is well, sir.
_Lucul._ I am right glad that his health is well, sir: and
what hast thou there under thy cloak, pretty Flaminius?
_Flam._ Faith, nothing but an empty box, sir; which, in 15
my lord's behalf, I come to entreat your honour to supply;
who, having great and instant occasion to use fifty talents,[2059]
hath sent to your lordship to furnish him, nothing doubting
your present assistance therein.
_Lucul._ La, la, la, la! 'nothing doubting,' says he? Alas, 20
good lord! a noble gentleman 'tis, if he would not keep so
good a house. Many a time and often I ha' dined with[2060]
him, and told him on't; and come again to supper to him,
of purpose to have him spend less; and yet he would[2061]
embrace no counsel, take no warning by my coming. 25
Every man has his fault, and honesty is his: I ha' told him[2062]
on't, but I could ne'er get him from 't.[2063]
_Re-enter_ Servant, _with wine_.
_Serv._ Please your lordship, here is the wine.
