SCENE IV.
The Woods. Timon's Cave, and a Tomb-stone seen.
Enter a Soldier, seeking Timon.
Sold.
By all description this should be the place.
Who's here? speak, ho!—No answer?—What is this?
Timon is dead, who hath outstretch'd his span:
Some beast rear'd this5 note; there does not live a man. 11Q0961
Dead, sure, and this his grave.—What's on this tomb
I cannot read; the character I'll take with wax:
Our captain hath in every figure skill;
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.
[Exit.
