The good time of day to you, sir.
Good day to you.
Hello.
good day
I also wish it to you. I think this honourable lord did but try us this
other day.
And to you. I think this noble lord was just testing us the other day.
Back at you. I think he was just testing our loyalty.
testing us the other day
Upon that were my thoughts tiring when we encountered. I hope it is not
so low with him as he made it seem in the trial of his several friends.
That is what I have been thinking since we met. I hope he is not really in the trouble he showed us when testing friends.
Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. I hope he's not really in the bad shape he showed us.
hope it's not as bad as shown
It should not be, by the persuasion of his new feasting.
It should not be, judging by this new feast he is throwing.
It can't be that bad if he's throwing a feast.

I should think so. He hath sent me an earnest inviting, which many my
near occasions did urge me to put off; but he hath conjured me beyond
them, and I must needs appear.
I agree. He sent an earnest invitation that many obligations made me want to refuse, but he pushed me beyond that, and I had to come.
Yeah. He sent a real insistent invite. I had other things to do, but he basically demanded I come.
earnest invite had to appear
In like manner was I in debt to my importunate business, but he would
not hear my excuse. I am sorry, when he sent to borrow of me, that my
provision was out.
Similarly, I was busy with business, but he would not hear my excuse. I am sorry that when he asked to borrow, I had nothing left to give.
Same here — I was tied up, but he wouldn't accept my excuse. I feel bad that when he asked to borrow, I was tapped out.
in debt to business could not lend
I am sick of that grief too, as I understand how all things go.
I understand that grief too — things are not going well for him.
I get it. He's in trouble.

Every man here’s so. What would he have borrowed you?
Everyone here feels it. How much did he want to borrow from you?
Yeah, we all know. How much was he asking you for?
how much
A thousand pieces.
A thousand pieces.
A thousand coins.

A thousand pieces!
A thousand pieces!
That much?

What of you?

He asked me too—look, here he comes.
Same here—wait, he's coming.

With all my heart, gentlemen both! And how fare you?
With all my heart, my friends! How are you both?
Welcome, friends! How are you doing?

Gentlemen, our dinner will not recompense this long stay. Feast your
ears with the music awhile, if they will fare so harshly o’ th’
trumpet’s sound; we shall to’t presently.
Gentlemen, dinner will not repay such a long wait. Let your ears feast on music awhile if it harsh on them from the trumpets. We shall begin soon.
Guys, the food won't be worth this wait. Enjoy the music while we finish the preparations.

I hope it remains not unkindly with your lordship that I returned you
an empty messenger.
I hope you do not hold it against me that I sent back an empty message when you asked to borrow.
I hope you're not upset that I couldn't help when you asked to borrow.

O, sir, let it not trouble you.

My most honourable lord, I am e’en sick of shame that when your
lordship this other day sent to me I was so unfortunate a beggar.
My most honored lord, I am ashamed that when you asked to borrow, I was so poor I could give nothing.
My lord, I'm embarrassed that when you came asking, I had nothing.

Each man to his stool with that spur as he would to the lip of his
mistress. Your diet shall be in all places alike. Make not a city feast
of it, to let the meat cool ere we can agree upon the first place. Sit,
sit. The gods require our thanks:
You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your
own gifts make yourselves praised, but reserve still to give, lest your
deities be despised. Lend to each man enough, that one need not lend to
another; for, were your godheads to borrow of men, men would forsake
the gods. Make the meat be beloved more than the man that gives it. Let
no assembly of twenty be without a score of villains. If there sit
twelve women at the table, let a dozen of them be as they are. The rest
of your foes, O gods, the senators of Athens, together with the common
lag of people, what is amiss in them, you gods, make suitable for
destruction. For these my present friends, as they are to me nothing,
so in nothing bless them, and to nothing are they welcome.
Uncover, dogs, and lap.
Sit eagerly as if approaching your lover. All shall eat the same. Do not let formal dining cool the food before we agree who sits first. Sit! The gods require our thanks. You great givers, make our society grateful. For your gifts, praise yourselves, but always keep giving or you will be forgotten. Give each man enough so none must beg. If the gods had to borrow from men, men would abandon them. Let the giver be loved more than the gift. In any gathering of twenty, let there be twenty villains. May the senators of Athens and common people face destruction for their faults. For my friends here, as they are nothing to me, so may they receive nothing, and they are not welcome.
Sit down like you're eager to embrace your lovers. Everyone eats the same. Don't worry about fancy seating — just sit. Let's thank the gods. You generous givers, make us grateful. Praise yourself for your gifts, but keep giving or you'll be hated. Give enough so nobody has to beg. If gods had to borrow from men, men would ignore them. The giver should be loved more than the gift. Every group has villains. May Athens and its people be destroyed for their crimes. As for my friends — you mean nothing to me, so nothing for you.

Who, stuck and spangled with your flatteries,
Washes it off and sprinkles in your faces
Your reeking villainy.
May you never see a better feast, you band of mouth-friends! Smoke and lukewarm water is your perfection. This is Timon's last meal. I have been decorated with your flattery and now I wash it off and throw your stinking falseness in your faces!
I hope this is the worst meal you ever have, you fake friends! Smoke and warm water — that's what you deserve. This is my last dinner. I've been covered with your lies and now I'm throwing the truth at you!
