I,1,1

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter Poet, Painter, Jeweller, Merchant, and]
others, at several doors]

2

I,1,26

Merchant. 'Tis a good form.

(stage directions). [Looking at the jewel]

3

I,1,52

Poet. I will say of it,
It tutors nature: artificial strife
Lives in these touches, livelier than life.

(stage directions). [Enter certain Senators, and pass over]

4

I,1,137

Messenger. All happiness to your honour!

(stage directions). [Exit]

5

I,1,138

(stage directions). [Exit]

(stage directions). [Enter an old Athenian]

6

I,1,188

Lucilius. Humbly I thank your lordship: never may
The state or fortune fall into my keeping,
Which is not owed to you!

(stage directions). [Exeunt LUCILIUS and Old Athenian]

7

I,1,218

Timon. Look, who comes here: will you be chid?

(stage directions). [Enter APEMANTUS]

8

I,1,278

Apemantus. Traffic's thy god; and thy god confound thee!

(stage directions). [Trumpet sounds. Enter a Messenger]

9

I,1,300

Timon. Right welcome, sir!
Ere we depart, we'll share a bounteous time
In different pleasures. Pray you, let us in.

(stage directions). [Exeunt all except APEMANTUS]

10

I,1,301

(stage directions). [Exeunt all except APEMANTUS]

(stage directions). [Enter two Lords]

11

I,1,318

Apemantus. I will fly, like a dog, the heels o' the ass.

(stage directions). [Exit]

12

I,1,331

First Lord. I'll keep you company.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

13

I,2,332

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Hautboys playing loud music. A great banquet]
served in; FLAVIUS and others attending; then enter
TIMON, ALCIBIADES, Lords, Senators, and VENTIDIUS.
Then comes, dropping, after all, APEMANTUS,
discontentedly, like himself]

14

I,2,360

Timon. Nay, my lords,
[They all stand ceremoniously looking on TIMON]
Ceremony was but devised at first
To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes,
Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown;
But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
Pray, sit; more welcome are ye to my fortunes
Than my fortunes to me.

(stage directions). [They sit]

15

I,2,453

Apemantus. Much!

(stage directions). [Tucket, within]

16

I,2,463

Timon. I pray, let them be admitted.

(stage directions). [Enter Cupid]

17

I,2,472

Timon. They're welcome all; let 'em have kind admittance:
Music, make their welcome!

(stage directions). [Exit Cupid]

18

I,2,507

All Ladies. Most thankfully, my lord.

(stage directions). [Exeunt Cupid and Ladies]

19

I,2,518

Flavius. Yes, my lord. More jewels yet!
There is no crossing him in 's humour;
[Aside]
Else I should tell him,—well, i' faith I should,
When all's spent, he 'ld be cross'd then, an he could.
'Tis pity bounty had not eyes behind,
That man might ne'er be wretched for his mind.

(stage directions). [Exit]

20

I,2,522

Second Lord. Our horses!

(stage directions). [Re-enter FLAVIUS, with the casket]

21

I,2,530

All. So are we all.

(stage directions). [Enter a Servant]

22

I,2,540

Flavius. [Aside] I scarce know how.

(stage directions). [Enter a Second Servant]

23

I,2,569

Flavius. [Aside] What will this come to?
He commands us to provide, and give great gifts,
And all out of an empty coffer:
Nor will he know his purse, or yield me this,
To show him what a beggar his heart is,
Being of no power to make his wishes good:
His promises fly so beyond his state
That what he speaks is all in debt; he owes
For every word: he is so kind that he now
Pays interest for 't; his land's put to their books.
Well, would I were gently put out of office
Before I were forced out!
Happier is he that has no friend to feed
Than such that do e'en enemies exceed.
I bleed inwardly for my lord.

(stage directions). [Exit]

24

I,2,601

Timon. Ready for his friends.

(stage directions). [Exeunt all but APEMANTUS and TIMON]

25

I,2,619

Timon. Nay, an you begin to rail on society once, I am
sworn not to give regard to you. Farewell; and come
with better music.

(stage directions). [Exit]

26

I,2,625

Apemantus. So:
Thou wilt not hear me now; thou shalt not then:
I'll lock thy heaven from thee.
O, that men's ears should be
To counsel deaf, but not to flattery!

(stage directions). [Exit]

27

II,1,626

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter Senator, with papers in his hand]

28

II,1,641

Senator. And late, five thousand: to Varro and to Isidore
He owes nine thousand; besides my former sum,
Which makes it five and twenty. Still in motion
Of raging waste? It cannot hold; it will not.
If I want gold, steal but a beggar's dog,
And give it Timon, why, the dog coins gold.
If I would sell my horse, and buy twenty more
Better than he, why, give my horse to Timon,
Ask nothing, give it him, it foals me, straight,
And able horses. No porter at his gate,
But rather one that smiles and still invites
All that pass by. It cannot hold: no reason
Can found his state in safety. Caphis, ho!
Caphis, I say!

(stage directions). [Enter CAPHIS]

29

II,1,666

Senator. Go.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

30

II,2,667

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter FLAVIUS, with many bills in his hand]

31

II,2,677

Flavius. No care, no stop! so senseless of expense,
That he will neither know how to maintain it,
Nor cease his flow of riot: takes no account
How things go from him, nor resumes no care
Of what is to continue: never mind
Was to be so unwise, to be so kind.
What shall be done? he will not hear, till feel:
I must be round with him, now he comes from hunting.
Fie, fie, fie, fie!

(stage directions). [Enter CAPHIS, and the Servants of Isidore and Varro]

32

II,2,686

Caphis. Here comes the lord.

(stage directions). [Enter TIMON, ALCIBIADES, and Lords, &c]

33

II,2,726

Timon. Do so, my friends. See them well entertain'd.

(stage directions). [Exit]

34

II,2,728

Flavius. Pray, draw near.

(stage directions). [Exit]

35

II,2,729

(stage directions). [Exit]

(stage directions). [Enter APEMANTUS and Fool]

36

II,2,755

Apemantus. Good! gramercy.

(stage directions). [Enter Page]

37

II,2,771

Page. Thou wast whelped a dog, and thou shalt famish a
dog's death. Answer not; I am gone.

(stage directions). [Exit]

38

II,2,802

All Servants. Aside, aside; here comes Lord Timon.

(stage directions). [Re-enter TIMON and FLAVIUS]

39

II,2,806

Fool. I do not always follow lover, elder brother and
woman; sometime the philosopher.

(stage directions). [Exeunt APEMANTUS and Fool]

40

II,2,808

Flavius. Pray you, walk near: I'll speak with you anon.

(stage directions). [Exeunt Servants]

41

II,2,880

Timon. And, in some sort, these wants of mine are crown'd,
That I account them blessings; for by these
Shall I try friends: you shall perceive how you
Mistake my fortunes; I am wealthy in my friends.
Within there! Flaminius! Servilius!

(stage directions). [Enter FLAMINIUS, SERVILIUS, and other Servants]

42

II,2,940

Flavius. I would I could not think it: that thought is
bounty's foe;
Being free itself, it thinks all others so.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

43

III,1,941

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [FLAMINIUS waiting. Enter a Servant to him]

44

III,1,944

Flaminius. I thank you, sir.

(stage directions). [Enter LUCULLUS]

45

III,1,973

Lucullus. La, la, la, la! 'nothing doubting,' says he? Alas,
good lord! a noble gentleman 'tis, if he would not
keep so good a house. Many a time and often I ha'
dined with him, and told him on't, and come again to
supper to him, of purpose to have him spend less,
and yet he would embrace no counsel, take no warning
by my coming. Every man has his fault, and honesty
is his: I ha' told him on't, but I could ne'er get
him from't.

(stage directions). [Re-enter Servant, with wine]

46

III,1,994

Flaminius. Is't possible the world should so much differ,
And we alive that lived? Fly, damned baseness,
To him that worships thee!

(stage directions). [Throwing the money back]

47

III,1,996

Lucullus. Ha! now I see thou art a fool, and fit for thy master.

(stage directions). [Exit]

48

III,1,1010

Flaminius. May these add to the number that may scald thee!
Let moulten coin be thy damnation,
Thou disease of a friend, and not himself!
Has friendship such a faint and milky heart,
It turns in less than two nights? O you gods,
I feel master's passion! this slave,
Unto his honour, has my lord's meat in him:
Why should it thrive and turn to nutriment,
When he is turn'd to poison?
O, may diseases only work upon't!
And, when he's sick to death, let not that part of nature
Which my lord paid for, be of any power
To expel sickness, but prolong his hour!

(stage directions). [Exit]

49

III,2,1011

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter LUCILIUS, with three Strangers]

50

III,2,1034

Lucilius. What a strange case was that! now, before the gods,
I am ashamed on't. Denied that honourable man!
there was very little honour showed in't. For my own
part, I must needs confess, I have received some
small kindnesses from him, as money, plate, jewels
and such-like trifles, nothing comparing to his;
yet, had he mistook him and sent to me, I should
ne'er have denied his occasion so many talents.

(stage directions). [Enter SERVILIUS]

51

III,2,1037

Servilius. See, by good hap, yonder's my lord;
I have sweat to see his honour. My honoured lord,—

(stage directions). [To LUCIUS]

52

III,2,1076

Lucilius. I'll look you out a good turn, Servilius.
[Exit SERVILIUS]
True as you said, Timon is shrunk indeed;
And he that's once denied will hardly speed.

(stage directions). [Exit]

53

III,2,1105

First Stranger. 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; yet, I protest,
For his right noble mind, illustrious virtue
And honourable carriage,
Had his necessity made use of me,
I would have put my wealth into donation,
And the best half should have return'd to him,
So much I love his heart: but, I perceive,
Men must learn now with pity to dispense;
For policy sits above conscience.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

54

III,3,1106

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter SEMPRONIUS, and a Servant of TIMON's]

55

III,3,1137

Sempronius. How! have they denied him?
Has Ventidius and Lucullus denied him?
And does he send to me? Three? hum!
It shows but little love or judgment in him:
Must I be his last refuge! His friends, like
physicians,
Thrive, give him over: must I take the cure upon me?
Has much disgraced me in't; I'm angry at him,
That might have known my place: I see no sense for't,
But his occasion might have woo'd me first;
For, in my conscience, I was the first man
That e'er received gift from him:
And does he think so backwardly of me now,
That I'll requite its last? No:
So it may prove an argument of laughter
To the rest, and 'mongst lords I be thought a fool.
I'ld rather than the worth of thrice the sum,
Had sent to me first, but for my mind's sake;
I'd such a courage to do him good. But now return,
And with their faint reply this answer join;
Who bates mine honour shall not know my coin.

(stage directions). [Exit]

56

III,3,1154

Servant. Excellent! Your lordship's a goodly villain. The
devil knew not what he did when he made man
politic; he crossed himself by 't: and I cannot
think but, in the end, the villainies of man will
set him clear. How fairly this lord strives to
appear foul! takes virtuous copies to be wicked,
like those that under hot ardent zeal would set
whole realms on fire: Of such a nature is his
politic love.
This was my lord's best hope; now all are fled,
Save only the gods: now his friends are dead,
Doors, that were ne'er acquainted with their wards
Many a bounteous year must be employ'd
Now to guard sure their master.
And this is all a liberal course allows;
Who cannot keep his wealth must keep his house.

(stage directions). [Exit]

57

III,4,1155

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter two Servants of Varro, and the Servant of]
LUCIUS, meeting TITUS, HORTENSIUS, and other
Servants of TIMON's creditors, waiting his coming out]

58

III,4,1166

Titus. So is theirs and ours.

(stage directions). [Enter PHILOTUS]

59

III,4,1210

Flaminius. I need not tell him that; he knows you are too diligent.

(stage directions). [Exit]

60

III,4,1211

(stage directions). [Exit]

(stage directions). [Enter FLAVIUS in a cloak, muffled]
He goes away in a cloud: call him, call him.

61

III,4,1234

Flavius. If 'twill not serve,'tis not so base as you;
For you serve knaves.

(stage directions). [Exit]

62

III,4,1242

Second Servant. No matter what; he's poor, and that's revenge
enough. Who can speak broader than he that has no
house to put his head in? such may rail against
great buildings.

(stage directions). [Enter SERVILIUS]

63

III,4,1256

Flaminius. [Within] Servilius, help! My lord! my lord!

(stage directions). [Enter TIMON, in a rage, FLAMINIUS following]

64

III,4,1282

Timon. Tear me, take me, and the gods fall upon you!

(stage directions). [Exit]

65

III,4,1286

Hortensius. 'Faith, I perceive our masters may throw their caps
at their money: these debts may well be called
desperate ones, for a madman owes 'em.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

66

III,4,1287

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

(stage directions). [Re-enter TIMON and FLAVIUS]

67

III,4,1306

Timon. Be't not in thy care; go,
I charge thee, invite them all: let in the tide
Of knaves once more; my cook and I'll provide.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

68

III,5,1311

Second Senator. Most true; the law shall bruise him.

(stage directions). [Enter ALCIBIADES, with Attendants]

69

III,5,1419

First Senator. If, after two days' shine, Athens contain thee,
Attend our weightier judgment. And, not to swell
our spirit,
He shall be executed presently.

(stage directions). [Exeunt Senators]

70

III,5,1434

Alcibiades. Now the gods keep you old enough; that you may live
Only in bone, that none may look on you!
I'm worse than mad: I have kept back their foes,
While they have told their money and let out
Their coin upon large interest, I myself
Rich only in large hurts. All those for this?
Is this the balsam that the usuring senate
Pours into captains' wounds? Banishment!
It comes not ill; I hate not to be banish'd;
It is a cause worthy my spleen and fury,
That I may strike at Athens. I'll cheer up
My discontented troops, and lay for hearts.
'Tis honour with most lands to be at odds;
Soldiers should brook as little wrongs as gods.

(stage directions). [Exit]

71

III,6,1435

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Music. Tables set out: Servants attending.]
Enter divers Lords, Senators and others, at
several doors]

72

III,6,1461

Second Lord. He sent to me, sir,—Here he comes.

(stage directions). [Enter TIMON and Attendants]

73

III,6,1547

Timon. May you a better feast never behold,
You knot of mouth-friends I smoke and lukewarm water
Is your perfection. This is Timon's last;
Who, stuck and spangled with your flatteries,
Washes it off, and sprinkles in your faces
Your reeking villany.
[Throwing the water in their faces]
Live loathed and long,
Most smiling, smooth, detested parasites,
Courteous destroyers, affable wolves, meek bears,
You fools of fortune, trencher-friends, time's flies,
Cap and knee slaves, vapours, and minute-jacks!
Of man and beast the infinite malady
Crust you quite o'er! What, dost thou go?
Soft! take thy physic first—thou too—and thou;—
Stay, I will lend thee money, borrow none.
[Throws the dishes at them, and drives them out]
What, all in motion? Henceforth be no feast,
Whereat a villain's not a welcome guest.
Burn, house! sink, Athens! henceforth hated be
Of Timon man and all humanity!

(stage directions). [Exit]

74

III,6,1548

(stage directions). [Exit]

(stage directions). [Re-enter the Lords, Senators, &c]

75

III,6,1563

Fourth Lord. One day he gives us diamonds, next day stones.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

76

IV,1,1564

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter TIMON]

77

IV,1,1605

Timon. Let me look back upon thee. O thou wall,
That girdlest in those wolves, dive in the earth,
And fence not Athens! Matrons, turn incontinent!
Obedience fail in children! slaves and fools,
Pluck the grave wrinkled senate from the bench,
And minister in their steads! to general filths
Convert o' the instant, green virginity,
Do 't in your parents' eyes! bankrupts, hold fast;
Rather than render back, out with your knives,
And cut your trusters' throats! bound servants, steal!
Large-handed robbers your grave masters are,
And pill by law. Maid, to thy master's bed;
Thy mistress is o' the brothel! Son of sixteen,
pluck the lined crutch from thy old limping sire,
With it beat out his brains! Piety, and fear,
Religion to the gods, peace, justice, truth,
Domestic awe, night-rest, and neighbourhood,
Instruction, manners, mysteries, and trades,
Degrees, observances, customs, and laws,
Decline to your confounding contraries,
And let confusion live! Plagues, incident to men,
Your potent and infectious fevers heap
On Athens, ripe for stroke! Thou cold sciatica,
Cripple our senators, that their limbs may halt
As lamely as their manners. Lust and liberty
Creep in the minds and marrows of our youth,
That 'gainst the stream of virtue they may strive,
And drown themselves in riot! Itches, blains,
Sow all the Athenian bosoms; and their crop
Be general leprosy! Breath infect breath,
at their society, as their friendship, may
merely poison! Nothing I'll bear from thee,
But nakedness, thou detestable town!
Take thou that too, with multiplying bans!
Timon will to the woods; where he shall find
The unkindest beast more kinder than mankind.
The gods confound—hear me, you good gods all—
The Athenians both within and out that wall!
And grant, as Timon grows, his hate may grow
To the whole race of mankind, high and low! Amen.

(stage directions). [Exit]

78

IV,2,1606

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter FLAVIUS, with two or three Servants]

79

IV,2,1624

Second Servant. As we do turn our backs
From our companion thrown into his grave,
So his familiars to his buried fortunes
Slink all away, leave their false vows with him,
Like empty purses pick'd; and his poor self,
A dedicated beggar to the air,
With his disease of all-shunn'd poverty,
Walks, like contempt, alone. More of our fellows.

(stage directions). [Enter other Servants]

80

IV,2,1662

Flavius. Good fellows all,
The latest of my wealth I'll share amongst you.
Wherever we shall meet, for Timon's sake,
Let's yet be fellows; let's shake our heads, and say,
As 'twere a knell unto our master's fortunes,
'We have seen better days.' Let each take some;
Nay, put out all your hands. Not one word more:
Thus part we rich in sorrow, parting poor.
[Servants embrace, and part several ways]
O, the fierce wretchedness that glory brings us!
Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt,
Since riches point to misery and contempt?
Who would be so mock'd with glory? or to live
But in a dream of friendship?
To have his pomp and all what state compounds
But only painted, like his varnish'd friends?
Poor honest lord, brought low by his own heart,
Undone by goodness! Strange, unusual blood,
When man's worst sin is, he does too much good!
Who, then, dares to be half so kind again?
For bounty, that makes gods, does still mar men.
My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed,
Rich, only to be wretched, thy great fortunes
Are made thy chief afflictions. Alas, kind lord!
He's flung in rage from this ingrateful seat
Of monstrous friends, nor has he with him to
Supply his life, or that which can command it.
I'll follow and inquire him out:
I'll ever serve his mind with my best will;
Whilst I have gold, I'll be his steward still.

(stage directions). [Exit]

81

IV,3,1663

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter TIMON, from the cave]

82

IV,3,1981

Timon. I, that I am one now:
Were all the wealth I have shut up in thee,
I'ld give thee leave to hang it. Get thee gone.
That the whole life of Athens were in this!
Thus would I eat it.

(stage directions). [Eating a root]

83

IV,3,1983

Apemantus. Here; I will mend thy feast.

(stage directions). [Offering him a root]

84

IV,3,2074

Timon. Away,
Thou tedious rogue! I am sorry I shall lose
A stone by thee.

(stage directions). [Throws a stone at him]

85

IV,3,2110

Timon. Long live so, and so die.
[Exit APEMANTUS]
I am quit.
Moe things like men! Eat, Timon, and abhor them.

(stage directions). [Enter Banditti]

86

IV,3,2170

First Bandit. Let us first see peace in Athens: there is no time
so miserable but a man may be true.

(stage directions). [Exeunt Banditti]

87

IV,3,2171

(stage directions). [Exeunt Banditti]

(stage directions). [Enter FLAVIUS]

88

IV,3,2257

Timon. If thou hatest curses,
Stay not; fly, whilst thou art blest and free:
Ne'er see thou man, and let me ne'er see thee.

(stage directions). [Exit FLAVIUS. TIMON retires to his cave]

89

V,1,2258

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter Poet and Painter; TIMON watching]
them from his cave]

90

V,1,2289

Painter. Good as the best. Promising is the very air o' the
time: it opens the eyes of expectation:
performance is ever the duller for his act; and,
but in the plainer and simpler kind of people, the
deed of saying is quite out of use. To promise is
most courtly and fashionable: performance is a kind
of will or testament which argues a great sickness
in his judgment that makes it.

(stage directions). [TIMON comes from his cave, behind]

91

V,1,2314

Timon. [Aside] I'll meet you at the turn. What a
god's gold,
That he is worshipp'd in a baser temple
Than where swine feed!
'Tis thou that rigg'st the bark and plough'st the foam,
Settlest admired reverence in a slave:
To thee be worship! and thy saints for aye
Be crown'd with plagues that thee alone obey!
Fit I meet them.

(stage directions). [Coming forward]

92

V,1,2387

Timon. You that way and you this, but two in company;
Each man apart, all single and alone,
Yet an arch-villain keeps him company.
If where thou art two villains shall not be,
Come not near him. If thou wouldst not reside
But where one villain is, then him abandon.
Hence, pack! there's gold; you came for gold, ye slaves:
[To Painter]
You have work'd for me; there's payment for you: hence!
[To Poet]
You are an alchemist; make gold of that.
Out, rascal dogs!

(stage directions). [Beats them out, and then retires to his cave]

93

V,1,2388

(stage directions). [Beats them out, and then retires to his cave]

(stage directions). [Enter FLAVIUS and two Senators]

94

V,1,2407

Flavius. Here is his cave.
Peace and content be here! Lord Timon! Timon!
Look out, and speak to friends: the Athenians,
By two of their most reverend senate, greet thee:
Speak to them, noble Timon.

(stage directions). [TIMON comes from his cave]

95

V,1,2513

Timon. Come not to me again: but say to Athens,
Timon hath made his everlasting mansion
Upon the beached verge of the salt flood;
Who once a day with his embossed froth
The turbulent surge shall cover: thither come,
And let my grave-stone be your oracle.
Lips, let sour words go by and language end:
What is amiss plague and infection mend!
Graves only be men's works and death their gain!
Sun, hide thy beams! Timon hath done his reign.

(stage directions). [Retires to his cave]

96

V,1,2520

First Senator. It requires swift foot.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

97

V,2,2521

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter two Senators and a Messenger]

98

V,2,2537

First Senator. Here come our brothers.

(stage directions). [Enter the Senators from TIMON]

99

V,2,2542

Third Senator. No talk of Timon, nothing of him expect.
The enemies' drum is heard, and fearful scouring
Doth choke the air with dust: in, and prepare:
Ours is the fall, I fear; our foes the snare.

(stage directions). [Exeunt]

100

V,3,2543

(beginning of scene)

(stage directions). [Enter a Soldier, seeking TIMON]

101

Soldier. By all description this should be the place.
Who's here? speak, ho! No answer! What is this?
Timon is dead, who hath outstretch'd his span:
Some beast rear'd this; there does not live a man.
Dead, sure; and this his grave. What's on this tomb
I cannot read; the character I'll take with wax:
Our captain hath in every figure skill,
An aged interpreter, though young in days:
Before proud Athens he's set down by this,
Whose fall the mark of his ambition is.

Alcibiades. [Reads the epitaph] 'Here lies a
wretched corse, of wretched soul bereft:
Seek not my name: a plague consume you wicked
caitiffs left!
Here lie I, Timon; who, alive, all living men did hate:
Pass by and curse thy fill, but pass and stay
not here thy gait.'
These well express in thee thy latter spirits:
Though thou abhorr'dst in us our human griefs,
Scorn'dst our brain's flow and those our
droplets which
From niggard nature fall, yet rich conceit
Taught thee to make vast Neptune weep for aye
On thy low grave, on faults forgiven. Dead
Is noble Timon: of whose memory
Hereafter more. Bring me into your city,
And I will use the olive with my sword,
Make war breed peace, make peace stint war, make each
Prescribe to other as each other's leech.
Let our drums strike.
