SERVANTS

          My lord, my lord.



              TIMON
          I will dispatch you severally: [to Servilius] you to Lord Lucius; [to Flaminius]
          to  Lord  Lucullus  you  (I  [190]  hunted  with  his  honour  to-day);  [to  Third
          Servant] you, to Sempronius. Commend me to their loves; and I am proud,

          say, that my occasions have found time to use ’em toward a supply of money.
          Let the request be fifty talents. [195]



              FLAMINIUS
               As you have said, my lord.
                                                                                          [Exeunt Servants]



              STEWARD
               [aside] Lord Lucius and Lucullus? Humh!



              TIMON
               [to Steward] Go you, sir, to the senators,

               Of whom, even to the state’s best health, I have
               Deserv’d this hearing: bid ’em send o’ th’ instant [200]
               A thousand talents to me.



              STEWARD
                               I have been bold,

               For that I knew it the most general way,
               To them to use your signet and your name;
               But they do shake their heads, and I am here
               No richer in return.



              TIMON
                               Is ’t true? can ’t be? [205]



              STEWARD

               They answer in a joint and corporate voice
               That now they are at fall, want treasure, cannot
               Do what they would, are sorry; you are honourable,
