'Timon's Friend'

"I protest for his right noble mind, illustrious virtue and honourable carriage. I love his heart, but i perceive men must learn now with pity, to dispense," he says. "For mine own part, i never tasted timon in my life, nor came any of his bounties over me to mark me for his friend." He adds: 'Had his necessity made use of me, i would have put my wealth into donation, and the best half should have returned'
