Timon of Athens
| ACT V SCENE III | The woods. Timon’s cave, and a rude tomb seen. | |
| [Enter a Soldier, seeking TIMON] | ||
| Soldier | 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 this; there does not live a man. | ||
| Dead, sure; and this his grave. What’s on this tomb | 5 | |
| I cannot read; the character I’ll take with wax: | ||
| Our captain hath in every figure skill, | ||
| An aged interpreter, though young in days: | ||
| Before proud Athens he’s set down by this, | ||
| Whose fall the mark of his ambition is. | 10 | |
| [Exit] | ||
