Quote #10
TIMON:
Look you, I love you well; I'll give you gold,
Rid me these villains from your companies:
Hang them or stab them, drown them in a draught,
Confound them by some course, and come to me,
I'll give you gold enough. (5.1.98-102)
Timon might be speaking to the Painter and Poet, but these words are fitting for just about any of his friends. Even in the woods, he has people seeking him out for his money. But he also has a whole lot of power over them: he mocks the merchants for being so quick to follow anything he says in exchange for his money.
