THE LIFE OF TIMON OF ATHENS

Act 5 Scene 4

(Enter a Soldier, in the woods, seeking Timon)
l1l	Soldier	 By all description, this should be the place.
l2l		Who’s here? Speak, ho! No answer?
		(He discovers a gravestone)
		 What is this?
l3l		Dead, sure, and this his grave. What’s on this tomb
l4l		I cannot read. The character I’ll take with wax.
l5l		Our captain hath in every figure skill,
l6l		An aged interpreter, though young in days.
l7l		Before proud Athens he’s set down by this,
l8l		Whose fall the mark of his ambition is.
		(Exit)
