| 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] |
