All those for this?
Is this the balsam that the usuring Senate
Pours into captains' wounds? Banishment!
It comes not ill; I hate not to be banish'd;
It is a cause worthy my spleen and fury,
That I may strike at Athens. I'll cheer up
My discontented troops, and lay for hearts.
'Tis honour with most lands to be at odds;
Soldiers should brook as little wrongs as gods. Exit
SCENE VI.
A banqueting hall in TIMON'S house
Music. Tables set out; servants attending. Enter divers LORDS,
friends of TIMON, at several doors
FIRST LORD. The good time of day to you, sir.
SECOND LORD. I also wish it to you. I think this honourable
lord
did but try us this other day.
FIRST LORD. Upon that were my thoughts tiring when we
encount'red.
I hope it is not so low with him as he made it seem in the
trial
of his several friends.
SECOND LORD. It should not be, by the persuasion of his new
feasting.
FIRST LORD. I should think so. He hath sent me an earnest
inviting,
which many my near occasions did urge me to put off; but he
hath
conjur'd me beyond them, and I must needs appear.
SECOND LORD. In like manner was I in debt to my importunate
business, but he would not hear my excuse.
