The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 7 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Alcib._ [_Reads_] 'Here lies a wretched corse, of wretched soul
bereft:[2794] 70
Seek not my name: a plague consume you wicked caitiffs left![2795]
Here lie I, Timon; who, alive, all living men did hate:[2796]
Pass by and curse thy fill; but pass and stay not here thy gait.'[2797]
These well express in thee thy latter spirits:
Though thou abhorr'dst in us our human griefs,[2798] 75
Scorn'dst our brain's flow and those our droplets which[2799]
From niggard nature fall, yet rich conceit
Taught thee to make vast Neptune weep for aye
On thy low grave, on faults forgiven. Dead[2800]
Is noble Timon: of whose memory 80
Hereafter more. Bring me into your city,
And I will use the olive with my sword,[2801]
Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each
Prescribe to other as each other's leech.
Let our drums strike. [_Exeunt._ 85
