Timon of Athens
[I, 1]

Jeweller

209

My lord, 'tis rated
As those which sell would give: but you well know,
Things of like value differing in the owners
Are prized by their masters: believe't, dear lord,
You mend the jewel by the wearing it.

Timon of Athens
[V, 1]

First Senator

What we are sorry for ourselves in thee.

Entreat thee back to Athens; who have thought
On special dignities, which vacant lie
For thy best use and wearing.
