I,1,120 |
Timon. Imprison'd is he, say you?
Messenger. Ay, my good lord: five talents is his debt,
His means most short, his creditors most strait:
Your honourable letter he desires
To those have shut him up; which failing,
Periods his comfort.
|
|
2 |
I,1,131 |
Timon. Noble Ventidius! Well;
I am not of that feather to shake off
My friend when he must need me. I do know him
A gentleman that well deserves a help:
Which he shall have: I'll pay the debt,
and free him.
Messenger. Your lordship ever binds him.
|
|
3 |
I,1,136 |
Timon. Commend me to him: I will send his ransom;
And being enfranchised, bid him come to me.
'Tis not enough to help the feeble up,
But to support him after. Fare you well.
Messenger. All happiness to your honour!
|

4 |
I,1,280 |
Timon. What trumpet's that?
Messenger. 'Tis Alcibiades, and some twenty horse,
All of companionship.

V,2,2524 |
First Senator. Thou hast painfully discover'd: are his files
As full as thy report?
Messenger. have spoke the least:
Besides, his expedition promises
Present approach.
|
|
6 |
V,2,2528 |
Second Senator. We stand much hazard, if they bring not Timon.
Messenger. I met a courier, one mine ancient friend;
Whom, though in general part we were opposed,
Yet our old love made a particular force,
And made us speak like friends: this man was riding
From Alcibiades to Timon's cave,
With letters of entreaty, which imported
His fellowship i' the cause against your city,
In part for his sake moved.
