IV.iii.308 (369,8) Ay, though it look like thee] Timon here supposes
that an objection against hatred, which through the whole tenor of the
conversation appears an argument for it. One would have expected him to
have answered,
Yes, _for it looks like thee_.
The old edition, which always gives the pronoun instead of the
affirmative particle, has it,
_I, though it look like thee_.
Perhaps we should read,
_I_ thought _it_ look'd _like thee_.
IV,iii.363 (371,2) Thou art the cap] i.e. the property, the bubble.
WARBURTON.] I rather think, the _top_, the _principal_.
The remaining dialogue has more malignity than wit.
IV.iii.383 (372,4) 'Twixt natural, son and sire!']
[Greek: dia touton ouk adelphoi
dia touton ou toxaeas. ANAC.]
IV.iii.398 (373,6) More things like men?] This line, in the old edition,
is given to Aremantus, but it apparently belongs to Timon. Hanmer has
transposed the foregoing dialogue according to his own mind, not
unskilfully, but with unwarrantable licence.
IV.iii.419 (373,7) you want much of meat] [T: of meet] Such is Mr.
Theobald's emendation, in which he is followed by Dr. Warburton. Sir T.
Hanmer reads,
--_you want much of_ men.
They have been all busy without necessity. Observe the series of the
conversation. The thieves tell him, that they are _men that much do
want_.
