I am sorry, when
he
sent to borrow of me, that my provision was out.
FIRST LORD. I am sick of that grief too, as I understand how
all
things go.
SECOND LORD. Every man here's so. What would he have borrowed
of
you?
FIRST LORD. A thousand pieces.
SECOND LORD. A thousand pieces!
FIRST LORD. What of you?
SECOND LORD. He sent to me, sir- here he comes.
Enter TIMON and attendants
TIMON. With all my heart, gentlemen both! And how fare you?
FIRST LORD. Ever at the best, hearing well of your lordship.
SECOND LORD. The swallow follows not summer more willing than
we
your lordship.
TIMON. [Aside] Nor more willingly leaves winter; such
summer-birds
are men- Gentlemen, our dinner will not recompense this long
stay; feast your ears with the music awhile, if they will
fare so
harshly o' th' trumpet's sound; we shall to't presently.
FIRST LORD. I hope it remains not unkindly with your lordship
that
I return'd you an empty messenger.
TIMON. O sir, let it not trouble you.
SECOND LORD. My noble lord-
TIMON. Ah, my good friend, what cheer?
SECOND LORD. My most honourable lord, I am e'en sick of shame
that,
when your lordship this other day sent to me, I was so
unfortunate a beggar.
