I’ll have it so. My steward?

STEWARD
Here, my lord.

TIMON
So fitly? Go, bid all my friends again,
Lucius, Lucullus and Sempronius: all.
I’ll once more feast the rascals.

STEWARD
O my lord,

You only speak from your distracted soul; [110]
There’s not so much left to furnish out
A moderate table.

TIMON
Be it not in thy care.

Go, I charge thee, invite them all, let in the tide
Of knaves once more; my cook and I’ll provide.
[Exeunt]

Scene V IT

Enter three Senators at one door, Alcibiades meeting them with
Attendants.

FIRST SENATOR

Bloody; ’tis necessary he should die;

Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy.

SECOND SENATOR

Most true; the law shall bruise ’em.

ALCIBIADES
