Enter a Soldier, seeking TIMON

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 tombI 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.
