_Alcib._ I see them now; then was a blessed time.[2410] _Tim._ As thine is now, held with a brace of harlots. _Timan._ Is this the Athenian minion whom the world Voiced so regardfully? _Tim._ Art thou Timandra?[2411] 80 _Timan._ Yes.[2411] _Tim._ Be a whore still: they love thee not that use thee;[2411][2412] Give them diseases, leaving with thee their lust.[2411][2412][2413] Make use of thy salt hours: season the slaves[2412] For tubs and baths; bring down rose-cheeked youth[2412][2414][2415] 85 To the tub-fast and the diet.[2412][2415][2416] _Timan._ Hang thee, monster! _Alcib._ Pardon him, sweet Timandra, for his wits Are drown'd and lost in his calamities.[2417] I have but little gold of late, brave Timon,[2418] The want whereof doth daily make revolt 90 In my penurious band: I have heard, and grieved,[2419] How cursed Athens, mindless of thy worth,[2420] Forgetting thy great deeds, when neighbour states, But for thy sword and fortune, trod upon them--[2421] _Tim._ I prithee, beat thy drum, and get thee gone. 95 _Alcib._ I am thy friend and pity thee, dear Timon. _Tim._ How dost thou pity him whom thou dost trouble? I had rather be alone. _Alcib._ Why, fare thee well: Here is some gold for thee.[2422] _Tim._ Keep it, I cannot eat it.[2423] _Alcib._ When I have laid proud Athens on a heap--[2424] 100 _Tim._ Warr'st thou 'gainst Athens?[2425][2426] _Alcib._ Ay, Timon, and have cause.[2426] _Tim._ The gods confound them all in thy conquest,[2426][2427] And thee after, when thou hast conquer'd![2426][2428] _Alcib._ Why me, Timon?[2426][2429]
