_First Sen._ All have not offended;[2782][2783] 35 For those that were, it is not square to take,[2784] On those that are, revenges: crimes, like lands,[2785] Are not inherited. Then, dear countryman, Bring in thy ranks, but leave without thy rage: Spare thy Athenian cradle and those kin 40 Which, in the bluster of thy wrath, must fall With those that have offended: like a shepherd Approach the fold and cull the infected forth, But kill not all together.[2786] _Sec. Sen._ What thou wilt, Thou rather shalt enforce it with thy smile 45 Than hew to 't with thy sword. _First Sen._ Set but thy foot Against our rampired gates, and they shall ope; So thou wilt send thy gentle heart before, To say thou'lt enter friendly.[2787] _Sec. Sen._ Throw thy glove, Or any token of thine honour else, 50 That thou wilt use the wars as thy redress And not as our confusion, all thy powers Shall make their harbour in our town, till we Have seal'd thy full desire. _Alcib._ Then there's my glove; Descend, and open your uncharged ports:[2788] 55 Those enemies of Timon's, and mine own,[2789] Whom you yourselves shall set out for reproof, Fall, and no more: and, to atone your fears With my more noble meaning, not a man Shall pass his quarter, or offend the stream 60 Of regular justice in your city's bounds, But shall be render'd to your public laws[2790] At heaviest answer. _Both._ 'Tis most nobly spoken. _Alcib._ Descend, and keep your words. [_The Senators descend, and open the gates._[2791] _Enter_ Soldier. _Sold._ My noble general, Timon is dead; 65 Entomb'd upon the very hem o' the sea; And on his grave-stone this insculpture, which[2792] With wax I brought away, whose soft impression Interprets for my poor ignorance.[2793]
