Your
reeking villainy. Live loathed, and long,
-Timon
Timon Of Athens Act III, scene vi, line 92
Today’s Totally Random line is the end of one
long sentence and the beginning of another. Here’s the first sentence:
This
is Timon’s last:
Who, stuck and spangled with your flattery,
Washes it off, and sprinkles in your faces
[Throwing
the water in their faces.
Your reeking villainy.
And after that he tells them to live long, loathed lives, and
goes into a litany of name calling:
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!
So needless to say, he’s not particularly happy with any of these guys, his dinner guests. Of course, they really are a bunch of schmucks and Timon should have realized that earlier. The next
scene is Timon at the walls of the city, leaving the city behind forever, and cursing
it.
And a song for this? Well, I'm not sure if Cap and knee is anything like Cap in Hand, but here you go.
