'Tis pity bounty had not eyes behind,
That man might ne'er be wretched for his mind.
[Exit]
First Lord Where be our men?
Servant Here, my lord, in readiness.
Second Lord Our horses!
[Re-enter FLAVIUS, with the casket]
TIMON O my friends,
I have one word to say to you: look you, my good lord,
I must entreat you, honour me so much
As to advance this jewel; accept it and wear it,
Kind my lord.
First Lord I am so far already in your gifts,--
All So are we all.
[Enter a Servant]
Servant My lord, there are certain nobles of the senate
Newly alighted, and come to visit you.
TIMON They are fairly welcome.
FLAVIUS I beseech your honour,
Vouchsafe me a word; it does concern you near.
TIMON Near! why then, another time I'll hear thee:
I prithee, let's be provided to show them
entertainment.
FLAVIUS [Aside] I scarce know how.
[Enter a Second Servant]
Second Servant May it please your honour, Lord Lucius,
Out of his free love, hath presented to you
Four milk-white horses, trapp'd in silver.
TIMON I shall accept them fairly; let the presents
Be worthily entertain'd.
[Enter a third Servant]
How now! what news?
Third Servant Please you, my lord, that honourable
gentleman, Lord Lucullus, entreats your company
to-morrow to hunt with him, and has sent your honour
two brace of greyhounds.
