Timon of Athens : Excerpts from the play
(Not a poem, but close-ish)
“O, pray, let’s see’t: for the Lord Timon, sir?”
(Act one, Scene one)
“When Fortune in her shift and change of mood
Spurs down her late beloved, all his dependents
Which labour’d after him to the mountain’s top
Even on their knees and hands, let him slip down,
Not one accompanying his declining foot.”
(Act one, scene one)
“‘Tis common:
A thousand moral painting I can show
That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune’s
More pregnantly than words.
(Act one, Scene one )” (Act one, scene one)
“Do Villany, do, since you protest to do’t,
Like Workmen. I’ll example you with thievery.
The sun’s a thief, and with his great attraction
Robs the Vast sea: the moon’s an arrant thief,
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun:”
(Act four, scene three)
