Well gentle Apemantus good morrow to thee Apem. Till I am gentle stay for thy good morrow Till thou art Timons dog and these Knav●…s honest Tim. Why dost thou call them Knaves Apem. They 're Athenians and I 'le not recant Th' are all base Fawners what a coile is h●…e With smiling cringing jutting out of Bu●…s I wonder whether all the legs they make Are worth the summes they cost you friendship's full Of dregs base filthy dregs Thus honest fools lay out their wealth for cringes Ailius Do you know us fellow Apem. Did I not call you by your names Tim. Thou preachest against Vice and thou thy self art proud Apemantus Apem. Proud that I am not Timon Tim. Why so Apem. To give belief to flatt'ring Knaves and Poets And to be still my self my greatest flatterer What should Great Men be proud of stead of noise And pomp and show and holding up their heads And cocking of their noses pleas'd to see Base smiling Knaves and cringing fools bow to ' em Did they but see their own ridiculous folly Their mean and absurd vanities they 'd hide Their heads within some dark and little corner And be afraid that every fool should find ' em Tim. Thou hast too much sowrness in thy blood Poet. Hang him n'er mind him Apem. What is this foolish animal man that we Should magnifie him so a little warm And walking Earth that will be ashes soon We come into the world crying and squalling And so much of our time 's consum'd in driv'ling infancy In ignorance sleep disease and trouble that The remainder is not worth the being rear'd to Phaeax A preaching fool Apem. A fool if thou hadst half my wit thou'dst find Thy self an Ass Is it not truth I speak Are not all the arts and subtleties of men All their Inventions all their Sciences All their Diversions all their Sports little enough To pass away their happiest hours with And make a heavy life be born with patience Tim.

How little dost thou look before thee Thou who tak'st such great felicity in Fools and Knaves And in thy own enjoyments wilt e're long Find 'em such thin such poor and empty shadows That thou wilt wish thou never hadst been born Tim. I do not think so Phaeax Hang him send him to the Areopagus and let him Be whipt Apem. Thus innocence truth and merit often suffer Whil'st injurers oppressors and desertless fools Swell in their brief authority look big And strut in Furs 't is a foul shame But 't is a loathsome Age it has been long Imposthumating with its villanie And now the swelling's broken out In most contagious ulcers no place free From the destructive Pestilence of manners Out upon 't 't is time the world should end Tim. Do not rail so 't is to little purpose Apem. I fear it is I have done my morning lecture And I 'le be gone Tim. Whither Apem. To knock out an honest Athenians brains Tim. Why that 's a deed thou 'lt die for Apemantus Apem. Yes if doing nothing be death by the Law Tim. Will nothing please thee how dost thou like this Picture Apem. Better than the thing 't was drawn for 't will Neither lie drink nor whore Flatter a man to his face and cut his Throat behind his back For since false smiles and base Dishonour traffique with mans nature He is but mere outside Pictures are Even such as they give out Oh! did you see The insides of these Fellows minds about you You 'd loath the base corruptions more than ●…ll The putrid Excrements their bodies hide Aelius Silence the foul mouth'd villain Tim. He hurts not us How lik'st thou this Jewel Apem. Not so well as plain dealing which will not cost a Man a doit Tim. What dost thou think this Jewel worth Apem. What fools esteem it it is not worth my thinking Lo now the mighty use of thy great Riches That must set infinite value on a Bawble Will 't keep thee warm or satisfie thy thirst Or hunger No it is comparison That gives it value then thou look'st upon Thy finger and art very proud to think A poor man cannot have it Childish pleasure What stretcht inventions must be found to make Great wealth of use Oh! that I were a Lord Tim. What would'st thou do Apem. I would cudgel two men a day for flattering me Till I had beaten the whole Senate Phaeax Let the Villain be soundly punish'd for his Licentious tongue Tim.

My Noble Lord welcome most welcom to my arms You are the Fountain from which all my happiness Did spring your matchless Daughter fair Mellissa Nic. You honour us too much my Lord. Tim. I cannot she is the joy of Athens the chief delight Of Nature the only life I live by Oh that her vows Were once expir'd it is methinks an Age till that blest day When we shall joyn our hands and hearts together Nic. 'T is but a week my Lord. Tim. 'T is a thousand years Apem. Thou miserable Lord hast thou to compleat All thy

calamities that plague of Love That most unmanly madness of the mind That specious cheat as false as friendship is Did'st thou but see how like a s●…iveling thing Thou look'st and talk'st thou would'st abhor or laugh at Thy own admir'd Image Tim. Peace I will hear no railing on this subject Apem. Oh vile corrupted time that men should be Deaf to good Counsel not to Flatterie Tim. Come my dear friends let us now visit our garde●…s 〈◊〉 ●…resh our selves with some cool Wines and Fruit I am transported with your Visits There is not now a Prince whom I can envy 〈◊〉 it be in that he can more bestow Upon ●…he men he loves 〈◊〉 My Noble Lord who would not wed your friend●… though without a Dowrie Isodor Most worthy Timon who has a life you may not 〈◊〉 your own Phaeax We are all your slaves Poet. The joy of all Mankind Jewel Great spirit of Nobleness Tim. We must not part t●…is day my Friends Apem. So so crouching slaves aches contract and make your supple Joynts to wither that there should be so little Love among these Knaves yet all this courtesie They hate and scorn each other yet they kiss As if they were of different Sexes Villains Villains Exeunt Omnes Enter Evandra Re-enter Timon Tim. Hail to the f●…ir Evandra methinks your looks are chang'd And clouded with some grief that misbecomes ' em Evan. My Lord my ears this morning were saluted with T●…e most unhappy news the dismal'st story The only one cou'd have afflicted me My dream foretold it and I wak'd aff●…ighted With a cold sweat o're all my limbs Tim. What was it Madam Evand You speak not with the kindness you were wont I have been us'd to tenderer words than these It is too true and I am miserable Tim. What is' t disturbs you so too well I guess Aside 〈◊〉 I hear I am to lose your Love which was The only earthly bl●…ssing I enjoy'd A●…d that on which my life depended Tim. No I must ever love my Excellent Evandra Evan. Melissa will not suffer it Oh cruel Timon Thou well may'st blush at thy ingratitude Had I so much towards thee I ne're shou'd show My face without confusion Such a guilt As if I had destroy'd thy Race and ruin'd All thy Estate and made thee infamous Thy Love to me I cou'd prefer before All cold resp●…cts of Kindred Wealth and Fame Tim. You have been kind so far above return That 't is beyond expression Evan. Call to mind Whose Race I sprung from that of great Alcides Though not my Fortune my Beauty and my Youth And my unspotted Fame yielded to none You on your knees a thousand times have sworn That they exceeded all and yet all these The only treasures a poor Maid possest I sacrific'd to you and rather chose To throw my self away than you shou'd be Uneasie in your wishes since which happy And yet unhappy time you have been to me My Life my Joy my Earth my Heaven my All I never had one single wish beyond you Nay every action every thought of mine How far soe're their large circumference Stretcht out yet center'd all in you You were My End the only thing could fill my mind Tim. She strikes me to the heart I would I had Not seen her Aside Evan. Ah Timon I have lov'd you so that had My eyes offended you I with these fingers Had pluckt 'em by the roots and cast them from me Or had my heart contain'd one thought that was Not yours I with this hand would rip it open Shew me a Wife in Athens can say this And yet I am not one but you are now to marry Tim. That I have lov'd you you and Heav'n can witness By many long repeated acts of Love And Bounty I have shew'd you Evan. Bounty ah Timon I am not yet so mean but I contemn Your transitory dirt and all rewards But that of Love your person was the bound Of all my thoughts and wishes in return You have lov'd me Oh miserable sound I would you never had or alwayes would Tim. Man is not master of his appetites Heav'n swayes our mind to Love Evan. But Hell to falseshood How many thousand times y' have vow'd and sworn Eternal Love Heav'n has not yet absolv'd You of your Oaths to me nor can I ever My Love 's as much too much as yours too little Tim. If you love me you 'l love my happiness Melissa Beauty and her Love to me Has so inflam'd me I can have none without her Evan. If I had lov'd another when you first My dear false Timon swore to me would you Have wisht I might have found my happiness Within anothers armes No no it is To love a contradiction Tim. 'T is a truth I cannot answer Evan. Besides Melissa's beauty Is not believ'd to exceed my little stock Even modesty may praise it self when 't is Aspers'd But her Love is mercenary Most mercenary base 't is Marriage Love She gives her person but in vile exchange She does demand your liberty But I Could generously give without mean bargaining I trusted to your honour and lost mine Lost all my Fri●…nds and Kindred but little thought I should have lost my Love and cast it on A barren and ungrateful soil that would return no fruit Tim. This does perplex me I must break it off Aside Evan. The first storm of your Love did shake me so It threw down all my leaves my hopeful blossoms Pull'd down my branches but this lat'er tempest of your hate Strikes at my root and I must wither now Like a desertless sapless tree must fall Tim. You are secure against all injuries While ●… have breath Evan. And yet you do the greatest Timon You shall be so much partner of my fortune As will secure you full respect from all And may support your quality in what pomp You can desire Evan. I am not of so course a Mould or have So gross a mind as to partake of ought That 's yours without you But oh thou too dear perjur'd man I could With thee prefer a dungeon a low and loathsome dungeon Before the stately guilded fretted Roofs The Pomp the noise the show the revelling And all the glittering splendour of a Palace Tim. I by resistless fate am hurry'd on Evan. A vulgar mean excuse for doing ill Tim. If that were not my honour is engag'd Evan. It had a pre-engagement Tim. All the great men of Athens urge me on To marry and to preserve my Race Evan. Suppose your Wife be false as 't is not new In Athens and suffer others to graft upon Your stock where is your Race weak vulgar reason Tim. Her honour will not suffer her Evan. She may do it cunningly and keep her honour Tim. Her love will then secure her which is as fervent Evan. As yours was once to me and may continue Perhaps as long and yet you cannot know She loves you Since that base Cecropian Law Made
