Caption: ‘APEMANTUS’S GRACE: Immortal gods, I crave no pelf:
I pray for no man but myself.
Grant I may never prove so fond,
To trust a man on his oath or bond;
Or a harlot for her weeping;
Or a dog that seems a sleeping;
Or a Keeper with my freedom;
Or my friends if I should need ’em.
Amen.’ Timon of Athens. Act 1, Sc. 2.
