Chapter: The TIMON's cave, and a rude tomb seen

Enter a SOLDIER in the woods, 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; here does not live a man.
    Dead, sure; and this his grave. What's on this tomb
    I cannot read; the character I'll take with wax.
    Our captain hath in every figure skill,
    An ag'd interpreter, though young in days;
    Before proud Athens he's set down by this,
    Whose fall the mark of his ambition is.                 Exit

 A solider is searching for Timon in the woods and is having no luck. He knows he got the address right: over the valley and through the woods, right? Or was that to grandmother's house? Then the soldier comes across a fresh tomb with an inscription telling everyone that Timon is dead. The thing is, the solider can't read it. So he copies down the inscription in wax to take to Alcibiades to read.
