SPEAKER: Timon
CONTEXT:
TIMON
Imprisoned is he, say you?
MESSENGER
Ay, my good lord: five talents is his debt,
His means most short, his creditors most strait:
Your honourable letter he desires
To those have shut him up; which failing,
Periods his comfort.
TIMON
Noble Ventidius! Well;
I am not of that feather to shake off
My friend when he must need me. I do know him
A gentleman that well deserves a help:
Which he shall have: I’ll pay the debt,
and free him.
MESSENGER
Your lordship ever binds him.
TIMON
Commend me to him: I will send his ransom;
And being enfranchised, bid him come to me.
‘Tis not enough to help the feeble up,
But to support him after. Fare you well.
DUTCH:
Voorwaar, ik ben de man niet, die een vriend,
Die mij behoeft, ooit afschudt. En ik ken hem,
Als alle hulp volwaardig. Zij gewordt hem;
Ik zal zijn schuld voldoen en maak hem vrij.
