Τίμων

ἀλλὰ τί τοῦτο; πολλοὶ συνέρχονται· Βλεψίας ἐκεῖνος καὶ Λάχης καὶ Γνίφων καὶ ὅλον¹ τὸ σύνταγμα τῶν οἰμωξομένων. ὥστε τί οὐκ ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν ταύτην ἀνελθὼν τὴν μὲν δίκελλαν ὀλίγον ἀναπαύω πάλαι πεπονηκυῖαν, αὐτὸς δὲ ὅτι πλείστους λίθους συμφορήσας ἐπιχαλαζῶ πόρρωθεν αὐτούς;

Βλεψίας

μὴ βάλλε, ὦ Τίμων· ἄπιμεν γάρ.

Τίμων

ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἀναιμωτί γε ὑμεῖς οὐδὲ ἄνευ τραυμάτων.

[58] But what have we here? They are gathering in swarms; I see Blepsias yonder, Laches, Guipho and the whole crew of my intended victims. Why not climb this rock, give my long-wearied pick a little rest and handle the situation without it, collecting all the stones I can and raining them down on those fellows from a distance?

BLEPSIAS

Don’t throw at us, Timon; we are going away.

TIMON

But not without bloodshed and wounds, I promise you! contemporaries the life that he found in books. was more Interesting and_more réal than. that, in°which he lived and “moved. What his satire Toses in pungency on this account, it gains in universality of appeal.

Timon

they shall howl soon. I had better get up on the rock; my poor tired spade wants a little rest; I will collect all the stones I can lay hands on, and pepper them at long range.
