My uses cry to me; I must serve my turn [20]
               Out of mine own; his days and times are past,
               And my reliances on his fracted dates
               Have smit my credit. I love and honour him,

               But must not break my back to heal his finger.
               Immediate are my needs, and my relief [25]
               Must not be toss’d and turn’d to me in words.
               But find supply immediate. Get you gone;

               Put on a most importunate aspect,
               A visage of demand: for I do fear,
               When every feather sticks in his own wing, [30]
               Lord Timon will be left a naked gull,

               Which flashes now a phoenix. Get you gone.



              CAPHIS
               I go, sir.



              SENATOR
               Ay, go sir! Take the bonds along with you,
               And have the dates in. Come.



              CAPHIS
                               I will, sir.



              SENATOR
                               Go. [35]

                                                                                                       [Exeunt]



                                                    Scene II         IT


                                    Enter Steward, with many bills in his hand.



              STEWARD
               No care, no stop; so senseless of expense,

               That he will neither know how to maintain it,
               Nor cease his flow of riot. Takes no accompt
               How things go from him, nor resumes no care
