Timon of Athens Fight Scene

Apemantus. If thou couldst please me with speaking to me, thou mightst have hit upon it here: the commonwealth of Athens is become a forest of beasts.

Timon. How has the ass broke the wall, that thou art out of the city?

Apemantus. Yonder comes a poet and a painter: the plague of company light upon thee! I will fear to catch it and give way: when I know not what else to do, I'll see thee again.

Timon. When there is nothing living but thee, thou shalt be welcome. I had rather be a beggar's dog than Apemantus.

Apemantus. Thou art the cap of all the fools alive.

Timon. Would thou wert clean enough to spit upon! 2060

Apemantus. A plague on thee! thou art too bad to curse.

Timon. All villains that do stand by thee are pure.

Apemantus. There is no leprosy but what thou speak'st.

Timon. If I name thee. I'll beat thee, but I should infect my hands.

Apemantus. I would my tongue could rot them off!

Timon. Away, thou issue of a mangy dog! Choler does kill me that thou art alive; I swound to see thee.

Apemantus. Would thou wouldst burst!

Apemantus. Beast!

Timon. Slave!

Apemantus. Toad!

Timon. Rogue, rogue, rogue!
