SCENE II. Before the walls of Athens.
Enter two Senators and a Messenger
First Senator
      Thou hast painfully discover'd: are his files
      As full as thy report?
Messenger
      have spoke the least:
      Besides, his expedition promises
5     Present approach.
Second Senator
      We stand much hazard, if they bring not Timon.
Messenger
      I met a courier, one mine ancient friend;
      Whom, though in general part we were opposed,
      Yet our old love made a particular force,
10    And made us speak like friends: this man was riding
      From Alcibiades to Timon's cave,
      With letters of entreaty, which imported
      His fellowship i' the cause against your city,
      In part for his sake moved.
First Senator
15    Here come our brothers.
Enter the Senators from TIMON
Third Senator
      No talk of Timon, nothing of him expect.
      The enemies' drum is heard, and fearful scouring
      Doth choke the air with dust: in, and prepare:
      Ours is the fall, I fear; our foes the snare.
