SCENE IV.
The Woods. Timon's Cave, and a Tomb-stone seen.
Enter a Soldier, seeking Timon.
Sold.

-- 428 --
Who's here? speak, ho!—No answer?—What is this?
Timon is dead, who hath outstretch'd his span:
Some beast rear'd this; there does not live a man4 note

Dead, sure; and this his grave.—
-- 429 --
What's on this tomb I cannot read; the character

An ag'd interpreter, though young in days:
Before proud Athens he's set down by this,
Whose fall the mark of his ambition is.
