P. 3149
FIRST LORD
I should think so. He hath sent me an earnest inviting, which many my near
occasions did urge me to [10] put off; but he hath conjur’d me beyond them,
and I must needs appear.
SECOND LORD
In like manner was I in debt to my importunate business, but he would not
hear my excuse. I am sorry, when he sent to borrow of me, that my provision
[15] was out.
FIRST LORD
I am sick of that grief too, as I understand how all things go.
SECOND LORD
Every man here’s so. What would he have borrowed of you? [20]
FIRST LORD
A thousand pieces.
SECOND LORD
A thousand pieces?
FIRST LORD
What of you?
SECOND LORD
He sent to me, sir − Here he comes.
Enter Timon and Attendants.
TIMON
With all my heart, gentlemen both; and how fare [25] you?
FIRST LORD
Ever at the best, hearing well of your lordship.
SECOND LORD
