First Sen.
Thou hast painfully discover'd: are his files
As full as thy ^note report?

Mess.
I have ^note spoke the least:
Besides, his expedition promises
Present approach. ^note

Sec. Sen.
We stand much hazard, if they bring not Timon.

Mess.
I met a courier ^note, one ^note mine ancient friend;
Whom ^note, though in general ^note part we were opposed,
Yet our old love made a particular ^note force ^note,
And made ^note us speak like friends: this man was riding
From Alcibiades to Timon's cave,
With letters of entreaty, which imported
His fellowship i' the cause against your city,
In part for his sake moved.

First Sen.
Here come our brothers. Enter ^note Senators from Timon.

Third Sen. ^note
No talk of Timon, nothing of him expect.
The enemies' ^note drum is heard, and fearful scouring
Doth choke the air with dust: in, and prepare:
Ours is the fall, I fear, our foes ^note the snare. [Exeunt.
