| William Shakespeare (1564–1616). The Oxford Shakespeare. 1914. | | | |
| Timon of Athens | | | | Act V. Scene III. |
| | The Woods. TIMON’S Cave, and a rude Tomb 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: | 5 |
| Some beast rear’d this; here does not live a man. | |
| 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. | 10 |
| Before proud Athens he’s set down by this, | |
| Whose fall the mark of his ambition is. [Exit. | | | |
