Quotation from Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare

“Here lie I, Timon, who alive all living men did hate”

William Shakespeare (spoken by Alcibiades (reading the epitaph))

Timon of Athens, Act 5, Scene 5 (Gutenberg #1536 numbering; Act 5, Scene 4 in most modern editions) (Project Gutenberg #1536 (modern spelling))

One of two epitaphs that the Folio prints together, probably alternatives Shakespeare had not yet chosen between; both derive from those Plutarch records.
