The unkindest beast more kinder than mankind.[2336] The gods confound--hear me, you good gods all!--[2337] The Athenians both within and out that wall! And grant, as Timon grows, his hate may grow To the whole race of mankind, high and low! 40 Amen.[2338] [_Exit._ SCENE II. _Athens. Timon's house._[2339] _Enter_ FLAVIUS, _with two or three_ Servants. _First Serv._ Hear you, master steward, where's our master?[2340] Are we undone? cast off? nothing remaining? _Flav._ Alack, my fellows, what should I say to you? Let me be recorded by the righteous gods, I am as poor as you.[2341] _First Serv._ Such a house broke![2342] 5 So noble a master fall'n! All gone! and not[2342] One friend to take his fortune by the arm,[2342] And go along with him![2342] _Sec. Serv._ As we do turn our backs[2343] From our companion thrown into his grave,[2344] So his familiars to his buried fortunes[2344][2345] 10 Slink all away; leave their false vows with him,[2346] Like empty purses pick'd; and his poor self, A dedicated beggar to the air, With his disease of all-shunn'd poverty,[2347] Walks, like contempt, alone. More of our fellows.[2348] 15 _Enter other_ Servants. _Flav._ All broken implements of a ruin'd house. _Third Serv._ Yet do our hearts wear Timon's livery; That see I by our faces; we are fellows still,[2349] Serving alike in sorrow: leak'd is our bark, And we, poor mates, stand on the dying deck,[2350] 20 Hearing the surges threat: we must all part Into this sea of air.[2351] _Flav._ Good fellows all, The latest of my wealth I'll share amongst you. Wherever we shall meet, for Timon's sake Let's yet be fellows; let's shake our heads, and say,[2352] 25 As 'twere a knell unto our master's fortunes, 'We have seen better days.' Let each take some. Nay, put out all your hands. Not one word more: Thus part we rich in sorrow, parting poor.[2353] [_Servants embrace, and part several ways._
