ACT V.
SCENE I. _The woods. Before Timon's cave._[2644]
_Enter_ Poet _and_ Painter; TIMON _watching them from his cave_.[2645]
_Pain._ As I took note of the place, it cannot be far[2646][2647]
where he abides.[2646]
_Poet._ What's to be thought of him? does the rumour[2648]
hold for true, that he's so full of gold?[2648]
_Pain._ Certain: Alcibiades reports it; Phrynia and
Timandra[2648][2649] 5
had gold of him: he likewise enriched poor straggling[2648]
soldiers with great quantity: 'tis said he gave unto[2648]
his steward a mighty sum.[2648]
_Poet._ Then this breaking of his has been but a try for[2648][2650]
his friends.[2648] 10
_Pain._ Nothing else: you shall see him a palm in Athens[2648]
again, and flourish with the highest. Therefore 'tis not amiss[2648]
we tender our loves to him in this supposed distress of his:[2648]
it will show honestly in us, and is very likely to load our[2648]
purposes with what they travail for, if it be a just and
true[2648][2651] 15
report that goes of his having.[2648]
_Poet._ What have you now to present unto him?[2648]
_Pain._ Nothing at this time but my visitation: only I[2648]
will promise him an excellent piece.[2648]
_Poet._ I must serve him so too, tell him of an intent[2648] 20
that's coming toward him.[2648]
