I wonder on ’t; he was wont to shine at seven. [10]



              LUCIUS’S SERVANT
               Ay, but the days are wax’d shorter with him:
               You must consider that a prodigal course
               Is like the sun’s,
               But not, like his, recoverable. I fear

               ’Tis deepest winter in Lord Timon’s purse; [15]
               That is, one may reach deep enough, and yet
               Find little.



              PHILOTUS
                               I am of your fear, for that.



              TITUS

               I’ll show you how t’ observe a strange event.
               Your lord sends now for money?



              HORTENSIUS
                               Most true, he does.



              TITUS
               And he wears jewels now of Timon’s gift, [20]
               For which I wait for money.



              HORTENSIUS
               It is against my heart.



              LUCIUS’S SERVANT
                               Mark how strange it shows,

               Timon in this should pay more than he owes:
               And e’en as if your lord should wear rich jewels,
               And send for money for ’em. [25]



              HORTENSIUS
               I’m weary of this charge, the gods can witness;

               I know my lord hath spent of Timon’s wealth,
