<H3>SCENE II. Before the walls of Athens.</h3>

<p><blockquote>
<i>Enter two Senators and a Messenger</i>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech1><b>First Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>Thou hast painfully discover'd: are his files</A><br>
<A NAME=2>As full as thy report?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>Messenger</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=3>have spoke the least:</A><br>
<A NAME=4>Besides, his expedition promises</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Present approach.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>Second Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=6>We stand much hazard, if they bring not Timon.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>Messenger</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=7>I met a courier, one mine ancient friend;</A><br>
<A NAME=8>Whom, though in general part we were opposed,</A><br>
<A NAME=9>Yet our old love made a particular force,</A><br>
<A NAME=10>And made us speak like friends: this man was riding</A><br>
<A NAME=11>From Alcibiades to Timon's cave,</A><br>
<A NAME=12>With letters of entreaty, which imported</A><br>
<A NAME=13>His fellowship i' the cause against your city,</A><br>
<A NAME=14>In part for his sake moved.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>First Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>Here come our brothers.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter the Senators from TIMON</i></p>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>Third Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>No talk of Timon, nothing of him expect.</A><br>
<A NAME=17>The enemies' drum is heard, and fearful scouring</A><br>
<A NAME=18>Doth choke the air with dust: in, and prepare:</A><br>
<A NAME=19>Ours is the fall, I fear; our foes the snare.</A><br>
<p><i>Exeunt</i></p>
