Seek not my name: a plague consume you wicked caitiff's 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, From niggard nature fall, yet rich conceit aye On thy low grave, on faults forgiven. Dead Hereafter more. Bring me into your city, 80 inconsistency between the two couplets, the first saying,-"Seek not my name"; the second,—“Here lie I, Timon.” How the two got thus thrown together, it were vain to speculate: possibly the Poet was in doubt which to choose, and so copied them both, and then neglected to erase the one which he meant to reject. See, however, the Introduction. In the Palace of Pleasure the epitaph is given thus: "My wretched catife dayes expired now and past, My carren corps intered here is fast in grounde, In waltering waves of swelling sea by surges cast: My name if thou desire, the gods thee doe confounde." -H. N. H. The first two lines are a rendering of Timon's own epitaph; the last two were ascribed generally to the poet Callimachus. Lines 71-72 are contradictions. Both epitaphs, however, occur in close succession in the Plutarchian narrative, whence they were doubtless copied by the author without reflection.-C. H. H. 79. "On thy low grave, on faults forgiven. Dead"; the reading of Ff.; Theobald reads "On thy low grave.-On: faults forgiven.— Dead"; Hanmer, "On thy low grave our faults—forgiv'n, since dead.” -I. G.
