- 0:00Speaker 1: The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, Act one, Scene one,
- 0:09Speaker 1: Venice a street, enter Antonio, Salonino, and Salonio in sooth.
- 0:18Speaker 2: I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me.
- 0:23Speaker 2: You say it wearies you? But how I caught it,
- 0:26Speaker 2: found it, or came by it? What stuff tis made of?
- 0:30Speaker 2: Whereof it is born? I am to learn, and such
- 0:35Speaker 2: a want wit sadness makes of me that I have
- 0:37Speaker 2: much ado to know myself.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Your mind is tossing on the ocean. There were your
- 0:42Speaker 3: argacies with portly sail like signors and rich burghers on
- 0:46Speaker 3: the flood, or, as it were, the pageants of the sea.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Do overpeer the petty traffickers that curtsey to them, do
- 0:52Speaker 3: them reverence as they fly by them with their woven wings.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Believe me, sir, had I such venture forth, the better
- 0:58Speaker 4: part of my affections would be with my hopes abroad.
- 1:01Speaker 4: I should be still plucking the grass to nowhere sits
- 1:04Speaker 4: the wind, peering in maps for ports and piers and roads,
- 1:07Speaker 4: in every object that might make me fear misfortune to
- 1:10Speaker 4: my ventures out of doubt would make me sad.
- 1:13Speaker 3: My wind cooling my broth would blow me to an
- 1:15Speaker 3: egg when I thought what harm a wind too great
- 1:18Speaker 3: might do at sea? I should not see the sandy
- 1:21Speaker 3: hour glass run, but I should think of shallows and
- 1:23Speaker 3: of flats, and see my wealthy andrew docked in sand,
- 1:27Speaker 3: veiling her high top lower than her ribs, to kiss
- 1:29Speaker 3: her burial. Should I go to church and see the
- 1:32Speaker 3: holy edifice of stone, and not bethink me straight of
- 1:35Speaker 3: dangerous rocks, which, touching but my gentle vessel's side, would
- 1:39Speaker 3: scatter all her spices on the stream, and rode the
- 1:42Speaker 3: roaring waters with my silks. And in a word, but
- 1:45Speaker 3: even now worth this, and now worth nothing? Shall I
- 1:49Speaker 3: have the thought to think on this? And shall I
- 1:52Speaker 3: lack the thought that such a thing bechanced would make
- 1:54Speaker 3: me sad? But tell not me. I know Antonio is
- 1:58Speaker 3: sad to think upon his merchandise.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Believe me, no, I thank my fortune for it. My
- 2:03Speaker 2: ventures are not in one bottom, trusted, nor to one place,
- 2:08Speaker 2: nor is my whole estate upon the fortune of this
- 2:10Speaker 2: present year. Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Why then, you are in love fi fi not in
- 2:18Speaker 3: love neither? Then let us say you are sad because
- 2:22Speaker 3: you are not merry, and were as easy for you
- 2:24Speaker 3: to laugh and leap and say you are merry because
- 2:27Speaker 3: you are not sad now by two headed Janus. Nature
- 2:30Speaker 3: hath framed strange fellows in her time, some that will
- 2:34Speaker 3: evermore peep through their eyes and laugh like parrots at
- 2:37Speaker 3: a bagpiper, and others of such vinegar aspect that they'll
- 2:41Speaker 3: not show their teeth in way of smile, though nestor
- 2:44Speaker 3: swear the jest be laughable.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Enter Bassanio, Lorenzo and Gratiano.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Here comes Bassanio, your most noble kinsman. Gritiano and Lorenzo
- 2:54Speaker 4: fare you well. We leave you now with better company.
- 2:57Speaker 3: I would have stayed till I had made you merry,
- 2:59Speaker 3: if worthier friends have not prevented me.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Your worth is very dear in my regard. I take
- 3:05Speaker 2: it your own business calls on you, and you embrace
- 3:08Speaker 2: the occasion to depart.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Good morrow, My good lord, good signors.
- 3:13Speaker 5: Both when do we laugh, say when you grow exceeding strange?
- 3:17Speaker 5: Must it be?
- 3:18Speaker 3: So we'll make our leisures to attend on yours.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Excient Salarino and Salonnio.
- 3:25Speaker 6: My lord Bassanio, since you have found Antonio, we too
- 3:29Speaker 6: will leave you. But at dinner time I pray you
- 3:32Speaker 6: have in mind where we must meet.
- 3:35Speaker 5: I will not fail you.
- 3:37Speaker 7: You look not well, signor Antonio. You have too much
- 3:41Speaker 7: respect upon the world. They lose it that do buy
- 3:44Speaker 7: it with much care. Believe me you are marvelously changed.
- 3:49Speaker 2: I hold the world, but as the world gratiano a
- 3:53Speaker 2: stage where every man must play a part, and mine
- 3:57Speaker 2: a sad one.
- 3:58Speaker 7: Let me play the fool with mirth and laughter. Let
- 4:02Speaker 7: old wrinkles come, and let my liver rather heat with
- 4:05Speaker 7: wine than my heart cool with mortifying groans. Why should
- 4:09Speaker 7: a man whose blood is warm within sit like his
- 4:12Speaker 7: grandsire cut in alabaster sleep when he wakes, and creep
- 4:17Speaker 7: into the jaundice by being peevish. I tell thee what, Antonio,
- 4:21Speaker 7: I love thee, and tis my love that speaks. There
- 4:25Speaker 7: are a sort of men whose visages do cream and
- 4:29Speaker 7: mantle like a standing pond, and do a wilful stillness,
- 4:33Speaker 7: entertain with purpose to be dressed in an opinion of wisdom,
- 4:37Speaker 7: gravity profound conceit as who should say, I am sir oracle,
- 4:42Speaker 7: And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark. Oh,
- 4:46Speaker 7: my Antonio, I do know of these that therefore only
- 4:50Speaker 7: are reputed wise for saying nothing when I am very
- 4:54Speaker 7: sure if they should speak, would almost damn those ears,
- 4:58Speaker 7: which hearing them, would call their brothers fools. I'll tell
- 5:02Speaker 7: thee more of this another time, But fish not with
- 5:05Speaker 7: this melancholy bait, for this fool gudgeon this opinion. Come good, Lorenzo,
- 5:11Speaker 7: very ye, Well a while, I'll end my exhortation after dinner.
- 5:15Speaker 6: Well, we will leave you then till dinner time. I
- 5:18Speaker 6: must be one of these same dumb wise men. For
- 5:20Speaker 6: Graziano never lets me speak.
- 5:23Speaker 7: Well, keep me company, But two years mo, and thou
- 5:26Speaker 7: shalt not know the sound of thine own tongue.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Fare you well, I'll grow a talker for this gear
- 5:32Speaker 2: and thanks.
- 5:33Speaker 7: If faith for silence is only commendable in a neats,
- 5:37Speaker 7: tongue dried, and a maid not vendable, excient Gratiano and Lorenzo.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Is that anything.
- 5:45Speaker 8: Now?
- 5:46Speaker 5: Graciano speaks an infinite deal of nothing more than any
- 5:50Speaker 5: man in all venice. His reasons are as two grains
- 5:53Speaker 5: of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff. You shall
- 5:56Speaker 5: seek them all day, or you find them, and when
- 5:58Speaker 5: you have them, they are not worth the search.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Well tell me now, what lady is the same to
- 6:06Speaker 2: whom you swore a secret pilgrimage that you today promised
- 6:10Speaker 2: to tell me of.
- 6:11Speaker 5: Tis not unknown to you, Antonio, how much I have
- 6:16Speaker 5: disabled mine estate by something showing a more swelling port
- 6:21Speaker 5: than my faint means would grant continuance. Nor do I
- 6:26Speaker 5: now make moan to be abridged from such a noble rate.
- 6:30Speaker 5: But my chief care is to come fairly off from
- 6:33Speaker 5: the great debts, wherein my time something too prodigal hath
- 6:36Speaker 5: left me gauged. To you, Antonio, I owe the most
- 6:41Speaker 5: in money and in love, and from your love I
- 6:44Speaker 5: have a warranty to unburden all my plots and purposes.
- 6:48Speaker 5: How to get clear of all the debts I owe?
- 6:50Speaker 2: I pray you good Bassanio, let me know it, And
- 6:53Speaker 2: if it stand as you yourself still do within the
- 6:56Speaker 2: eye of honor, be assured. My purse, my person, my
- 7:01Speaker 2: extremest means lie all unlocked to your occasions.
- 7:06Speaker 5: In my school days, when I had lost one shaft,
- 7:09Speaker 5: I shot his fellow of the self same flight the self,
- 7:13Speaker 5: same way, with more advised watch to find the other fourth,
- 7:18Speaker 5: And by adventuring both I oft found both. I urge
- 7:22Speaker 5: this childhood proof, because what follows is pure innocence. I
- 7:27Speaker 5: owe you much, and like a wilful youth, that which
- 7:30Speaker 5: I always lost. But if you pleased to shoot another
- 7:34Speaker 5: arrow that self way which you did shoot the first,
- 7:37Speaker 5: I do not doubt, as I will watch the aim
- 7:41Speaker 5: or to find both, or bring your latter hazard back again,
- 7:44Speaker 5: And thankfully rest debtor. For the first.
- 7:47Speaker 2: You know me well and here, and spend but time
- 7:51Speaker 2: to wind about my love. With circumstance and out of doubt,
- 7:55Speaker 2: you do me now more wrong in making question of
- 7:58Speaker 2: my uttermost than if you had made waste of.
- 8:00Speaker 9: All I have.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Then do but say to me what I should do
- 8:04Speaker 2: that in your knowledge may by me be done? And
- 8:07Speaker 2: I am pressed unto it.
- 8:10Speaker 5: Therefore speak in Belmont is a lady richly left, and
- 8:15Speaker 5: she is fair and fairer than that word of wondrous virtues.
- 8:21Speaker 5: Sometimes from her eyes I did receive fair speechless messages.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Her name is Porscha. Nothing under value to Cato's daughter,
- 8:31Speaker 5: Brutus Porscha. Nor is the wide world ignorant of her worth.
- 8:36Speaker 5: For the four winds blow in from every coast, renowned suitors,
- 8:40Speaker 5: and her sunny locks hang on her temples like a
- 8:43Speaker 5: golden fleece, which makes her seat of Belmont colchis strand
- 8:48Speaker 5: and many Jason's coming quest of her. Oh, my Antonio
- 8:52Speaker 5: had I but the means to hold a rival place
- 8:55Speaker 5: with one of them. I have a mind presages me
- 8:58Speaker 5: such thrift that I should questionless be fortunate.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Thou knowest that all my fortunes are at sea. Neither
- 9:06Speaker 2: have I money nor commodity to raise a present sum. Therefore,
- 9:10Speaker 2: go forth try what my credit can in venice do
- 9:14Speaker 2: that shall be racked even to the outermost, to furnish
- 9:16Speaker 2: the Belmont fair Portia. Go presently inquire, and so will
- 9:22Speaker 2: I where money is, and I no question make the
- 9:25Speaker 2: habit of my trust or for my sake.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Excient Scene two Belmont, a room in Porsche's house, enter
- 9:37Speaker 1: Portia and Nerissa by my troth Nerissa.
- 9:41Speaker 10: My little body is weary of this great world.
- 9:45Speaker 11: You would be, sweet, madam, if your miseries were in
- 9:47Speaker 11: the same abundance as your good fortunes are. And yet
- 9:50Speaker 11: for aught, I see they are as sick that surfey
- 9:52Speaker 11: with too much, as though that starve with nothing. It
- 9:55Speaker 11: is no mean happiness. Therefore to be seated in the mean.
- 9:58Speaker 11: Superfluity comes sooner by white hair, but competency lives longer.
- 10:02Speaker 10: Good sentences and well pronounced.
- 10:04Speaker 11: They would be better if well followed.
- 10:06Speaker 10: If to do were as easy as to know what
- 10:09Speaker 10: were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor
- 10:12Speaker 10: men's cottages princes palaces. It is a good divine that
- 10:16Speaker 10: follows his own instructions. I can easier teach twenty what
- 10:20Speaker 10: were good to be done, than to be one of
- 10:22Speaker 10: the twenty to follow mine own teaching. The brain may
- 10:25Speaker 10: devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps
- 10:29Speaker 10: o'er a cold decree such a hair as madness the
- 10:32Speaker 10: youth to skip o'er the meshes of good counsel the cripple.
- 10:36Speaker 10: But this reasoning is not in the fashion. To choose
- 10:38Speaker 10: me a husband, o me the word choose. I may
- 10:42Speaker 10: neither choose who I would nor refuse who I dislike.
- 10:46Speaker 10: So is the will of a living daughter curbed by
- 10:49Speaker 10: the will of a dead father. Is it not hard, Nerissa,
- 10:53Speaker 10: that I cannot choose one nor refuse none.
- 10:55Speaker 11: Your father was ever virtuous, and holy men at their
- 10:58Speaker 11: death have good inspirations. Therefore, the lottery that he hath
- 11:01Speaker 11: devised in these three chests of gold, silver and lead.
- 11:05Speaker 11: Whereof who chooses his meaning chooses you will no doubt
- 11:08Speaker 11: never be chosen by any rightly but one who you
- 11:10Speaker 11: shall rightly love. But what wants is there in your
- 11:13Speaker 11: affection toward any of these princely sitters that are already come.
- 11:16Speaker 10: I pray thee over name them, and as thou namest them,
- 11:19Speaker 10: I will describe them, and according to my description level
- 11:22Speaker 10: at my affection.
- 11:24Speaker 11: First is the Neopolitan prince.
- 11:26Speaker 10: Ay, that's a colt, indeed, for he doth nothing but
- 11:29Speaker 10: talk of his horse, and he makes it a great
- 11:31Speaker 10: appropriation to his own good parts that he can shew
- 11:34Speaker 10: him himself. I am much afeared, my lady. His mother
- 11:38Speaker 10: played false with a smith.
- 11:39Speaker 11: Then there is the County Peltine.
- 11:41Speaker 10: He doth nothing but frown as who should say an
- 11:44Speaker 10: you will not have me choose? He hears merry tales
- 11:48Speaker 10: and smiles.
- 11:48Speaker 7: Not.
- 11:49Speaker 10: I fear he will prove the weeping philosopher when he
- 11:52Speaker 10: grows old, being so full of unmannerly sadness in his youth.
- 11:57Speaker 10: I had rather be married to a death's head with
- 11:59Speaker 10: a bow in his mouth than to either of these.
- 12:02Speaker 10: God defend me from these two?
- 12:04Speaker 11: How say ye? By the French Lord Monsieur Lebon.
- 12:07Speaker 10: God made him, and therefore let him pass for a
- 12:10Speaker 10: man in truth? I know it is a sin to
- 12:13Speaker 10: be a mocker. But he why he hath a horse
- 12:16Speaker 10: better than the Neapolitan's, a better bad habit of frowning
- 12:19Speaker 10: than the Count Palatine. He is every man in no man.
- 12:23Speaker 10: If a throstle sing he falls straight a capering, he
- 12:26Speaker 10: will fence with his own shadow. If I should marry him,
- 12:30Speaker 10: I should marry twenty husbands. If he would despise me,
- 12:33Speaker 10: I would forgive him, For if he love me to madness,
- 12:36Speaker 10: I shall never requite him.
- 12:38Speaker 11: What say ye then? To Falkembridge, the young Baron of England.
- 12:41Speaker 10: You know I say nothing to him, for he understands
- 12:44Speaker 10: not me nor I him. He hath neither Latin, French
- 12:48Speaker 10: nor Italian. And you will come into the court and
- 12:51Speaker 10: swear that I have a poor penniworth in the English
- 12:54Speaker 10: he is a proper man's picture. But alas who can
- 12:57Speaker 10: converse with a dumb show how oddly he is suited.
- 13:02Speaker 10: I think he bought his doublet in Italy, his round
- 13:04Speaker 10: hose in France, his bonnet in Germany, and his behavior everywhere.
- 13:09Speaker 11: What think you the Scottish lord his neighbor, that.
- 13:12Speaker 10: He hath a neighborly charity in him? For he borrowed
- 13:15Speaker 10: a box of the ear of the Englishman and swore
- 13:18Speaker 10: he would pay him again when he was able. I
- 13:20Speaker 10: think the Frenchman became his surety and sealed under for another.
- 13:24Speaker 11: I like you the young German. The Duke of Saxon
- 13:26Speaker 11: is nephew.
- 13:27Speaker 10: Very vilely in the morning when he is sober, and
- 13:30Speaker 10: most vilely in the afternoon when he is drunk. When
- 13:33Speaker 10: he is best, he is a little worse than a man,
- 13:36Speaker 10: And when he is worst he is little better than
- 13:38Speaker 10: a beast. And the worst fall that ever fell. I
- 13:41Speaker 10: hope I shall make shift to go without him.
- 13:44Speaker 11: If he should offer to choose, and choose the right casket,
- 13:47Speaker 11: you should refuse to perform your father's phil if you
- 13:49Speaker 11: should refuse to accept him.
- 13:51Speaker 10: Therefore, for fear of the worst, I pray thee set
- 13:54Speaker 10: a deep glass of Rhenish wine on the contrary casket,
- 13:57Speaker 10: For if the devil be within and that temptation without,
- 14:00Speaker 10: I know he will choose it. I will do anything
- 14:03Speaker 10: nearsa ere, I will be married to a sponge.
- 14:06Speaker 11: You need not fear, Lady, the having any of these lords.
- 14:08Speaker 11: They've acquainted me with the determinations, which is indeed, to
- 14:11Speaker 11: return to their home and to trouble you with no
- 14:14Speaker 11: more suit, unless he may be won by some other
- 14:16Speaker 11: sort than your father's imposition. Depending on the caskets.
- 14:19Speaker 10: If I live to be as old as Sybylla, I
- 14:22Speaker 10: will die as chaste as Diana, unless I be obtained
- 14:26Speaker 10: by the manner of my father's will. I am glad
- 14:29Speaker 10: this parcel of wooers are so reasonable, for there is
- 14:32Speaker 10: not one among them, but I dote on his very absence,
- 14:35Speaker 10: and I pray God grant them a fair departure.
- 14:38Speaker 11: Do you not remember, lady, in your father's time a Venetian,
- 14:42Speaker 11: a scholar, and a soldier that can hither in company
- 14:44Speaker 11: of the marquis of Monterrey. Yes, yes, it was the Sanio,
- 14:49Speaker 11: as I think so was he called Tree Madame. He
- 14:53Speaker 11: of all the men that ever my foolish eyes looked upon,
- 14:55Speaker 11: was the best deserving a fair lady.
- 14:57Speaker 10: I remember him well, and I remember him worthy of
- 15:00Speaker 10: thy praise.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Enter a servant.
- 15:03Speaker 12: How now, what news the four strangers seek for? You, madam,
- 15:07Speaker 12: to take their leave. And there is a forerunner come
- 15:10Speaker 12: from a fifth, the Prince of Morocco, who brings word
- 15:13Speaker 12: the prince his master will be here tonight.
- 15:15Speaker 10: If I could bid the fifth welcome with so good
- 15:18Speaker 10: heart as I can bid the other four, farewell, I
- 15:20Speaker 10: should be glad of his approach. If he have the
- 15:23Speaker 10: condition of a saint and the complexion of a devil,
- 15:26Speaker 10: I had rather he should shrive me than wive me.
- 15:29Speaker 10: Come narissa, sirah, go before whilst we shut the gate
- 15:33Speaker 10: upon one wooer, another knocks at the door.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Exciant scene three venice a public place, Enter Basangnon and shylock.
- 15:47Speaker 8: Three thousand dockets.
- 15:49Speaker 5: Well, I, sir, for three months.
- 15:52Speaker 8: For three months, Well for.
- 15:55Speaker 5: The witch, as I told you, Antonio shall be bound.
- 15:59Speaker 8: Antonio shall be come bound.
- 16:02Speaker 5: Well may you stead me? Will you pleasure me? Shall
- 16:06Speaker 5: I know your answer?
- 16:07Speaker 8: Three thousand ducats for three months and Antonio bound?
- 16:12Speaker 5: Your answer to.
- 16:13Speaker 8: That Antonio is a good man?
- 16:16Speaker 5: Have you heard any imputation to the contrary?
- 16:20Speaker 8: No, no, no no. My meaning in saying he is a
- 16:23Speaker 8: good man is to have you understand me that he
- 16:25Speaker 8: is sufficient. Yet his means are in supposition. He hath
- 16:30Speaker 8: an argacy bound to Tripolis, another to the Indies. I
- 16:34Speaker 8: understand moreover, pandrialto he have a third at Mexico, a
- 16:38Speaker 8: fourth for England, and other ventures. He hath squandered abroad.
- 16:43Speaker 8: But ships are but boards sailors. But men. There be
- 16:47Speaker 8: land rats and water rats, land thieves and water thieves,
- 16:53Speaker 8: I mean pirates. And then there is the peril of waters,
- 16:57Speaker 8: winds and rocks. The man is notwithstand sufficient three thousand ducats.
- 17:04Speaker 8: I think I may take his bond.
- 17:06Speaker 5: Be assured you may.
- 17:08Speaker 8: I will be assured. I may, And that I may
- 17:11Speaker 8: be assured, I will bethink me. May I speak with Antonio?
- 17:16Speaker 5: If it please you to dine with.
- 17:18Speaker 8: Us, Yes, to smell pork, to eat of the habitation
- 17:23Speaker 8: which your profit the Nazarite conjured the devil unto. I
- 17:27Speaker 8: will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you,
- 17:30Speaker 8: walk with you, and so following. But I will not
- 17:32Speaker 8: eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you.
- 17:36Speaker 8: What news Henrieto? Who is he comes here?
- 17:40Speaker 1: Enter Antonio?
- 17:42Speaker 5: This is signor Antonio.
- 17:45Speaker 8: Aside, how like a fawning publican he looks. I hate him,
- 17:51Speaker 8: for he is a Christian. But more for that in
- 17:54Speaker 8: low simplicity he lends out money gratis and brings down
- 17:58Speaker 8: the rate of usance here with us in venice. If
- 18:02Speaker 8: I can catch him once upon the hip, I will
- 18:05Speaker 8: feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. He hates
- 18:09Speaker 8: our sacred nation, and he rails even there where merchants
- 18:13Speaker 8: most to congregate on me my bargains and my well
- 18:17Speaker 8: won thrift, which he calls impressed cursed be my tribe.
- 18:21Speaker 8: If I forgive him, Shylock, do you hear I am
- 18:26Speaker 8: debating of my present store, and by the near guess
- 18:29Speaker 8: of my memory, I cannot instantly raise up the gross
- 18:32Speaker 8: of full three thousand nuckets? What of that tible? A
- 18:36Speaker 8: wealthy hebrew of my tribe will furnish me but soft?
- 18:40Speaker 8: How many months do you desire to Antonio? Prest you
- 18:44Speaker 8: fair good signor your worship was the last man in
- 18:47Speaker 8: our mouths Shylock.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Albeit I neither land nor burrow by taking, nor by
- 18:53Speaker 2: giving of excess. Yet to supply the ripe wants of
- 18:57Speaker 2: my friend, I'll break a custom two Bassanio, Is he
- 19:01Speaker 2: yet possessed?
- 19:02Speaker 8: How much you would I? I three thousand ducats.
- 19:06Speaker 2: And for three months I had forgot three months.
- 19:10Speaker 8: You told me so. Well, then your bond and let
- 19:14Speaker 8: me see. But sir, hear you methought you said, you
- 19:18Speaker 8: neither lend nor borrow upon advantage.
- 19:20Speaker 2: I do never use it.
- 19:23Speaker 8: When Jacob grazed his uncle Laban's sheep, this Jacob, from
- 19:27Speaker 8: our holy Abram, was, as his wise mother wrought in
- 19:30Speaker 8: his behalf, the third possessor. I he was the third.
- 19:34Speaker 2: And what of him did he take interest?
- 19:37Speaker 8: No, not take interest, not as you would say, directly interest.
- 19:41Speaker 8: Mark what Jacob did when Laban and himself were compromised,
- 19:45Speaker 8: that all the emlings, which were streaked and piede should
- 19:48Speaker 8: fall as Jacob's hires. The ewes being rank an end
- 19:52Speaker 8: of autumn, turned to the rams. And when the work
- 19:56Speaker 8: of generation was between these wooly breeders, in the act
- 19:59Speaker 8: the skillful sh the shepherd peeled me certain wants, and
- 20:02Speaker 8: in the doing of the deed of kind, he stuck
- 20:04Speaker 8: them up before the fulsome use who, then, conceiving did
- 20:08Speaker 8: an evening time fall party colored lambs, And those were Jacob's.
- 20:13Speaker 8: This was a way to thrive, and he was blessed.
- 20:16Speaker 8: And thrift is blessing if men steal it, not This was.
- 20:21Speaker 2: A venture, sir, that Jacob served for a thing not
- 20:24Speaker 2: in his power to bring to pass, but swayed and
- 20:27Speaker 2: fashioned by the hand of heaven? Was this inserted to
- 20:31Speaker 2: make interest good? Or is your gold and silver ooze?
- 20:35Speaker 8: And rams? I cannot tell I make it breed as fast?
- 20:40Speaker 8: But note me, signor.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Mark you this Passanio. The devil can cite scripture for
- 20:45Speaker 2: his purpose, an evil soul producing holy witnesses like a
- 20:49Speaker 2: villain with a smiling cheek, a goodly apple rotten at
- 20:53Speaker 2: the heart. Oh, what a goodly outside falsehood?
- 20:57Speaker 8: Hath three thousand docs? Tis a good round sum three
- 21:03Speaker 8: months from twelve. Then let me see the.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Rate well, shylock, shall we be beholding to.
- 21:09Speaker 8: You, signor Antonio many a time? And oft in rialto
- 21:14Speaker 8: you have rated me about my moneys and my nuisances.
- 21:18Speaker 8: Still have I borne it with a patient shrug? For
- 21:22Speaker 8: sufferance is the badge of all our tribe. You call
- 21:26Speaker 8: me misbelieva, cutthroat dog, and spat upon my Jewish gabardine,
- 21:33Speaker 8: and all for use of that which is mine own. Well,
- 21:37Speaker 8: then it now appears you need my help. Go to
- 21:42Speaker 8: Then you come to me, and you say shylock. We
- 21:44Speaker 8: would have moneyes you say, so, you that did void
- 21:49Speaker 8: your room upon my beard and foot me as you
- 21:52Speaker 8: spun a stranger cur over your threshold. Money's is your suit?
- 21:58Speaker 8: What should I say to you? Should I not say,
- 22:02Speaker 8: hath a dog money? Is it possible a cirk can
- 22:07Speaker 8: lend three thousand ducats? Or shall I bend low and
- 22:13Speaker 8: in a bondman's key, with bated breath and whispering humbleness,
- 22:17Speaker 8: say this fair, sir. You spit on me on Wednesday
- 22:21Speaker 8: last you spurned me on such a day. Another time
- 22:24Speaker 8: you called me dog. And for these courtesies I'll lend
- 22:28Speaker 8: you thus much monies.
- 22:29Speaker 2: I am as like to call thee so again, to
- 22:32Speaker 2: speed on thee again, to spurn thee too. If thou
- 22:36Speaker 2: wilt lend this money, lend it not as to thy friends.
- 22:39Speaker 2: For when did friendship take a breed for barren mettle
- 22:42Speaker 2: of his friend? But lend it rather to thine enemy, who,
- 22:47Speaker 2: if he brake, thou mayest with better face exact the penalty.
- 22:52Speaker 8: Why look how you storm? I would be friends with
- 22:57Speaker 8: you and have your love. Forget what the shames that
- 23:00Speaker 8: you have stained me with? Supply your present wants and
- 23:04Speaker 8: take no deit of usance for my money's and you'll
- 23:07Speaker 8: not hear me. This is kind I offer this wark kindness,
- 23:12Speaker 8: this kindness. Will I show go with me to a notary,

- 23:25Speaker 8: are expressed in the condition, let the forfeit be nominated
- 23:30Speaker 8: for an equal pound of your fair flesh to be

- 23:42Speaker 2: a bond, and say, there is much kindness in the jew.
- 23:46Speaker 5: You shall not seal to such a bond for me,
- 23:49Speaker 5: or rather dwell in my necessity?
- 23:52Speaker 2: Why fear not, man, I will not forfeit it within
- 23:55Speaker 2: these two months, that's a month before this bond expires.
- 23:59Speaker 2: I do expect return of thrice three times the value
- 24:02Speaker 2: of this bond.

- 24:12Speaker 8: tell me this if he should break his day, what
- 24:14Speaker 8: should I gain by the exaction of the forfeiture? A
- 24:18Speaker 8: pound of man's flesh taken from a man is not
- 24:21Speaker 8: so estimable profitable, neither as flesh of muttons, beefs or goats.
- 24:27Speaker 8: I say to buy his favor. I extend this friendship
- 24:33Speaker 8: if he will take it. So, if not on you,
- 24:35Speaker 8: and for my love, I pray you wrong me.

- 24:49Speaker 8: the duck it straight see to my house, left in
- 24:52Speaker 8: the fearful god of an unthrifty knave, and presently I'll
- 24:55Speaker 8: be with you, Hi.
- 24:56Speaker 2: The gentle jew.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Exit Shylock.
- 24:59Speaker 2: This he Hebrew will turn Christian. He grows kind.
- 25:03Speaker 5: I like not fair terms, and a villain's mind.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Come on in this there can be no dismay. My
- 25:10Speaker 2: ships come home a month before the day.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Exciant end of Act one, Act two seen one Belmont,

- 25:42Speaker 13: of the burnished sun, to whom I am a neighbor
- 25:44Speaker 13: and near bread. Bring me the fairest creature northward born
- 25:48Speaker 13: where Phoebus's fire scarce thaws the ey sicles, And let
- 25:52Speaker 13: us make incision for your love, to prove whose blood
- 25:56Speaker 13: is reddest his or mine. I tell thee late this
- 26:00Speaker 13: aspect of mine hath feared the valiant by my love.
- 26:04Speaker 13: I swear the best regarded virgins of our clime have
- 26:07Speaker 13: loved it too. I would not change this hue, except
- 26:11Speaker 13: to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen.
- 26:14Speaker 10: In terms of choice, I am not solely led by
- 26:17Speaker 10: nice direction of a maiden's eyes. Besides, the lottery of
- 26:21Speaker 10: my destiny bars me the right of voluntary choosing. But
- 26:25Speaker 10: if my father had not scanted me and hedged me
- 26:28Speaker 10: by his wit to yield myself his wife, who wins
- 26:32Speaker 10: me by that means I told you yourself, renowned prince,
- 26:36Speaker 10: then stood as fair as any comer I have looked
- 26:38Speaker 10: on yet for my affection.
- 26:40Speaker 13: Even for that, I thank you. Therefore, I pray you
- 26:44Speaker 13: lead me to the caskets to try my fortune. By
- 26:47Speaker 13: this scimitar that slew the Sophie and a Persian prince
- 26:51Speaker 13: that won three fields of Sultan Solomon. I would o'er
- 26:55Speaker 13: stare the sternest eyes that look out, brave the heart
- 26:59Speaker 13: most daring on on the earth, pluck the young sucking
- 27:02Speaker 13: cubs from the she bear yea mock the lion when
- 27:05Speaker 13: he roars for prey to win thee lady. But alas
- 27:09Speaker 13: the while, if Hercules and Lychas play at dice, which
- 27:13Speaker 13: is the better man the greater throw may turn by
- 27:17Speaker 13: fortune from the weaker hand. So is Alsides beaten by
- 27:21Speaker 13: his page, And so may I blind fortune leading me
- 27:26Speaker 13: miss that which one unworthier may attain and die with grieving.
- 27:31Speaker 10: You must take your chance, and either not attempt to
- 27:34Speaker 10: choose at all, or swear before you choose. If you
- 27:38Speaker 10: choose wrong, never to speak to lady afterward in way
- 27:41Speaker 10: of marriage. Therefore be advised.
- 27:44Speaker 13: Nor will not come bring me unto my chance.

- 27:56Speaker 1: Men, cornets and excuent Scene two venice a street, Enter
- 28:07Speaker 1: Lancelot Gobol.
- 28:09Speaker 14: Certainly my conscience will serve me to run from this
- 28:12Speaker 14: jew my master. The fiend is at mine elbow and
- 28:16Speaker 14: tempts me, saying to me, Gobolncelot Gobo, good Luncelot, or
- 28:22Speaker 14: good Gobo or good Lancelot Gobo, use your legs, take
- 28:26Speaker 14: the start, run away. My conscience says, no, take heed,
- 28:30Speaker 14: honest Lancelot, take heed, honest Gobo, or as aforesaid, honest
- 28:35Speaker 14: Lancelot Gobo. Do not run scorn running with thy heels well,
- 28:41Speaker 14: the most courageous fiend bids me. Pack villa, says the fiend. Away,
- 28:47Speaker 14: says the fiend. For the heavens rouse up a brave mind,
- 28:51Speaker 14: says the fiend, and run well. My conscience, hanging about
- 28:56Speaker 14: the neck of my heart, says very wisely to me,
- 29:00Speaker 14: my honest friend, Launcelot, being an honest man's son, or
- 29:05Speaker 14: rather an honest woman's son. For indeed, my father did
- 29:10Speaker 14: something smack something grow to he had a kind of taste. Well,
- 29:15Speaker 14: my conscience, says Launcelot. Budge not budge, says the fiend.

- 29:33Speaker 14: who God bless the mark is a kind of devil,
- 29:37Speaker 14: and to run away from the Jew. I should be
- 29:40Speaker 14: ruled by the fiend, who, saving your reverence, is the
- 29:44Speaker 14: devil himself. Certainly, the Jew is the very devil in
- 29:48Speaker 14: carnal and in my conscience, my conscience is but a
- 29:53Speaker 14: kind of hard conscience to offer to counsel me to
- 29:58Speaker 14: stay with the Jew. The fiend gives the more friendly counsel.
- 30:03Speaker 14: I will run, Fiend, My heels are at your commandment.
- 30:08Speaker 14: I will run.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Enter old Gobo with the basket.

- 30:29Speaker 14: I will try confusions with him.
- 30:31Speaker 15: Master, young gentleman, I pray you, which is the way
- 30:34Speaker 15: to master Jews?
- 30:35Speaker 14: Turn up on your right hand at the next turning,
- 30:38Speaker 14: but at the next turning of all on your left
- 30:41Speaker 14: mary at the very next turning, turn of no hand,
- 30:45Speaker 14: but turned down indirectly to the Jews house.
- 30:48Speaker 15: By God Santis, twill be a hard way to hit.
- 30:51Speaker 15: Can you tell me whether one launcelot that dwells with
- 30:54Speaker 15: him dwell with him?

- 31:01Speaker 14: will I raise the waters talk you of young Master Launcelot.
- 31:06Speaker 15: No, Master, Sir, but a poor man's son his father,
- 31:10Speaker 15: though I say it is an honest, exceeding poor man,
- 31:13Speaker 15: and God be thanked well to live.
- 31:15Speaker 14: Well let his father be what a will we talk
- 31:19Speaker 14: of a young Master Launcelot.
- 31:21Speaker 15: Your worship's friend and Launcelot, Sir?
- 31:23Speaker 14: But I pray you ergo, old man, ergo, I beseech
- 31:26Speaker 14: you talk you of young Master Launcelot of Launcelot.
- 31:31Speaker 15: Ain't please your mastership.

- 31:37Speaker 14: the young gentleman, according to fates and destinies and such
- 31:40Speaker 14: odd sayings the Sisters three and such branches of learning,
- 31:44Speaker 14: is indeed deceased, or, as you would say in plain terms,
- 31:50Speaker 14: gone to heaven.
- 31:51Speaker 15: Mary, God forbid. The boy was the very staff of
- 31:54Speaker 15: my age, my very prop.
- 31:55Speaker 14: Do I look like a cudgel or a hovel post
- 31:58Speaker 14: or a staff or a prop? Do you know me?
- 32:00Speaker 8: Father? A lax the day?

- 32:08Speaker 15: or dead?
- 32:09Speaker 14: Do you not know me, father.
- 32:11Speaker 15: Alack, Sir, I am sandblind.
- 32:13Speaker 14: I know you not, nay. Indeed, if you had your eyes,
- 32:16Speaker 14: you might fail of the knowing me. It is a
- 32:19Speaker 14: wise father that knows his own child. Well, old man,
- 32:23Speaker 14: I will tell you news of your son. Give me
- 32:26Speaker 14: your blessing. Truth will come to light. Murder cannot be
- 32:29Speaker 14: hid long a man's son may, but in the end
- 32:33Speaker 14: truth will out.
- 32:34Speaker 15: Pray you, sir, stand up. I am sure you are
- 32:37Speaker 15: not Lncelot my boy.
- 32:39Speaker 14: Pray you. Let's have no more fooling about it. Give
- 32:42Speaker 14: me your blessing. I am Lacelot, your boy. That was
- 32:46Speaker 14: your son, that is your child that shall be.
- 32:49Speaker 15: I cannot think you are my son.
- 32:51Speaker 14: I know not what I shall think of that. But
- 32:54Speaker 14: I am Launcelot, the Jews man, and I am sure
- 32:57Speaker 14: Marjorie your wife is my mother.
- 32:59Speaker 15: Her name is Margerie. Indeed, I'll be sworn if thou
- 33:02Speaker 15: be Launcelot, thou art my own flesh and blood, Lord worship?
- 33:07Speaker 15: Might he be what a beard hast thou, God, Thou
- 33:10Speaker 15: hast got more hair on thy chin than Dobbin might
- 33:13Speaker 15: thrill horse has on his tail.
- 33:15Speaker 14: It should seem then, that Dobbin's tail grows backward. I
- 33:19Speaker 14: am sure ye had more hair on his tail than
- 33:21Speaker 14: I have on my face when I last saw him.
- 33:23Speaker 15: Lord, how art thou changed? How dost thou and thy
- 33:27Speaker 15: master agree? I have brought him a present? How agreed you?
- 33:30Speaker 8: Now? Well?
- 33:31Speaker 14: Well? But for mine own part, as I have set
- 33:34Speaker 14: up my rest to run away, so I will not
- 33:37Speaker 14: rest till I have run some ground. My master's a
- 33:41Speaker 14: very Jew. Give him a present, give him a halter.
- 33:45Speaker 14: I am famished in his service. You may tell every
- 33:48Speaker 14: finger I have with my ribs. Father, I am glad
- 33:52Speaker 14: you are.
- 33:52Speaker 8: Come.
- 33:54Speaker 14: Give me your present to one master Pisanio, who indeed
- 33:58Speaker 14: gives rare new liveries. If I serve him not, I
- 34:02Speaker 14: will run as far as God has any ground o
- 34:05Speaker 14: rare fortune. Here comes the man to him. Father, For
- 34:09Speaker 14: I am a Jew. If I serve the Jew any.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Longer, enter Bassanio with Leonardo with other followers.
- 34:18Speaker 5: You may do so, but let it be so hasted
- 34:20Speaker 5: that supper be ready at the farthest by five of
- 34:23Speaker 5: the clock. See these letters delivered, put the liberties to making,
- 34:26Speaker 5: and desired Rasciano to come anon to my lodging.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Exit a servant to him, Father, God, bless your worship, mercy.
- 34:34Speaker 5: What'st thou aught with me?
- 34:36Speaker 15: Here is my son, Sir, a poor boy.
- 34:38Speaker 14: Not a poor boy, Sir, but the rich Jews Man
- 34:42Speaker 14: that would, Sir, as my father shall specify, he.
- 34:45Speaker 15: Has a great infection, Sir, as one would say, to serve.
- 34:49Speaker 14: Indeed, the short and the long is I serve the
- 34:52Speaker 14: Jew and have a desire, as my father shall specify.
- 34:56Speaker 15: His master and he saving your Worship's reverence, are scarce
- 35:00Speaker 15: cater cousins.
- 35:01Speaker 14: To be brief, the very truth is that the Jew,
- 35:04Speaker 14: having done me wrong, doth cause me, as my father
- 35:07Speaker 14: being I hope an old man shall fruitify unto you.
- 35:11Speaker 15: I have here a dish of doves that I would
- 35:13Speaker 15: bestow upon your worship. And my suit is.
- 35:16Speaker 14: In very brief. The suit is impertinent to myself, as
- 35:20Speaker 14: your Worship shall know by this honest old man. And
- 35:24Speaker 14: though I say it, though old man, yet poor man,
- 35:28Speaker 14: my father.
- 35:29Speaker 5: One speak for you both.
- 35:30Speaker 8: What would you serve? You? Sir?
- 35:33Speaker 15: That is the very defect of the matter, Sir, I
- 35:36Speaker 15: know thee well thou hast obtained thy suit.
- 35:40Speaker 5: Shylock, thy master spoke with me this day, and hath
- 35:44Speaker 5: preferred thee if it be preferment to leave a rich
- 35:47Speaker 5: Jew's service to become the follower of so poor a gentleman.
- 35:51Speaker 14: The old proverb is very well parted between my master
- 35:54Speaker 14: Shylock and you, sir. You have the grace of God, sir,
- 36:00Speaker 14: and he hath enough.
- 36:01Speaker 5: Now speaks it. Well, go father with thy son, take
- 36:05Speaker 5: leave of thy old master, and inquire my lodging out.
- 36:08Speaker 1: To a servant.
- 36:09Speaker 5: Give him a livery more guarded than his fellows.
- 36:12Speaker 14: See it done, father, in I cannot get a service. No,
- 36:16Speaker 14: I have ne'er a tongue in my head looking on
- 36:19Speaker 14: his palm. Well, if any man in Italy have a
- 36:23Speaker 14: fairer table, which doth offer to swear upon a book,
- 36:26Speaker 14: I shall have good fortune. Go too. Here's a simple
- 36:30Speaker 14: line of life. Here's a small trifle of wives, alas
- 36:34Speaker 14: fifteen wives is nothing, eleven widows and nine maids is
- 36:38Speaker 14: a simple coming in for one man. And then to
- 36:42Speaker 14: scrape drowning thrice, and to be in peril of my
- 36:46Speaker 14: life with the edge of a featherbed. Here are simple scapes. Well,
- 36:51Speaker 14: if fortune be a woman, she's a good wench for
- 36:53Speaker 14: this gear. Father, Come, I'll take my leave of the
- 36:59Speaker 14: jew in the twinkling of an.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Eye, excellent Launcelot and old Gobo.
- 37:05Speaker 5: I pray thee good Leonardo, think on this. These things
- 37:08Speaker 5: being bought and orderly bestowed, return in haste, for I
- 37:12Speaker 5: do feast tonight my best esteemed acquaintance.
- 37:15Speaker 3: Hi thee go, My best endeavor shall be done herein.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Enter, Graciano.
- 37:21Speaker 7: Where is your master yonder?
- 37:23Speaker 5: Sir?
- 37:23Speaker 7: He walks exit, Senor Bassanio, Graciano, I have suit to you.
- 37:30Speaker 5: You have obtained it.
- 37:31Speaker 7: You must not deny me. I must go with you
- 37:34Speaker 7: to Belmont.
- 37:35Speaker 5: Why then you must but hear thee Graciano, thou art
- 37:39Speaker 5: too wild, too rude and bold of voice, parts that
- 37:43Speaker 5: become mee happily enough. And in such eyes as ours
- 37:45Speaker 5: appear not false. But where thou art not known, why
- 37:49Speaker 5: there they show something too liberal. Pray THEE take pain
- 37:55Speaker 5: to allay with some cold drops of modesty, thy skipping spirit,
- 38:00Speaker 5: lest through thy wild behavior I be misconstrued in the
- 38:04Speaker 5: place I go to and lose my hopes.
- 38:07Speaker 7: Senor Bassanio, hear me if I do not put on
- 38:10Speaker 7: a sober habit, talk with respect and swear. But now
- 38:14Speaker 7: and then where prayer books in my pocket? Look demurely,
- 38:18Speaker 7: nay more, while Grace is saying, hood mine eyes, thus
- 38:22Speaker 7: with my hat and sigh and say amen, use all
- 38:27Speaker 7: the observance of civility, like one well studied in a
- 38:30Speaker 7: sad ostend to please his grandame. Never trust me more.
- 38:35Speaker 5: Well, we shall see your bearing.
- 38:38Speaker 7: Nay, but I bar tonight. You shall not gauge me
- 38:41Speaker 7: by what we do to night.
- 38:43Speaker 5: No, that were pity. I would entreat you rather to
- 38:46Speaker 5: put on your boldest suit of mirth, for we are
- 38:49Speaker 5: friends that purpose merriment. But fare you well.
- 38:52Speaker 7: I have some business and I must to Lorenzo and

- 39:45Speaker 14: If a Christian, do not play the knave and get thee,
- 39:48Speaker 14: I am much deceived. But adieu, these foolish drops do
- 39:53Speaker 14: something drown my manly spirit.
- 39:55Speaker 16: Adieu, farewell, good Launcelot, Exit Launcelot, alack, What heinous sin
- 40:03Speaker 16: is it in me to be ashamed to be my
- 40:05Speaker 16: father's child? But though I am a daughter to his blood,
- 40:09Speaker 16: I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo, If thou

- 42:07Speaker 6: and jewels she is furnished with? What pages suit she
- 42:11Speaker 6: hath in readiness? If era a jew her father come

- 42:19Speaker 6: And never dare misfortune cross her foot unless she do
- 42:22Speaker 6: it under this excuse that she is issued to a

- 42:57Speaker 8: shalt not gorman dies as thou hast done with me?
- 43:00Speaker 8: What Jessica, and sleep and snore and rend the peril out? Why, Jessica,
- 43:07Speaker 8: I say, why, Jessica, who bids thee call? I do
- 43:12Speaker 8: not bid thee call?
- 43:13Speaker 14: Your worship was wont to tell me I could do
- 43:15Speaker 14: nothing without bidding.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Enter, Jessica, call.
- 43:19Speaker 16: You what is your will?
- 43:21Speaker 8: I am bid forced to supper? Jessica, there are my keys,
- 43:25Speaker 8: But wherefore should I go? I am not bid for love?
- 43:29Speaker 8: They flatter me, But yet I'll go in hate to
- 43:33Speaker 8: feed upon the prodigal Christian. Jessica, my girl, look to
- 43:37Speaker 8: my house. I am right loth to go. There is
- 43:41Speaker 8: some ill a brewing towards my rest, for I did
- 43:44Speaker 8: dream of money bags.
- 43:45Speaker 14: Tonight I beseech you, sir, go my young master doth
- 43:49Speaker 14: expect your reproach, so do I his, and they have
- 43:54Speaker 14: conspired together. I will not say you shall see a mask,
- 43:58Speaker 14: but if you do, and it was not for nothing
- 44:01Speaker 14: that my nose fell a bleeding on Black Monday last
- 44:04Speaker 14: at six o'clock in the morning, falling out that year
- 44:07Speaker 14: on ash Wednesday was four year in the afternoon.
- 44:11Speaker 8: What are their masks? Hear you me, Jessica, lock up
- 44:15Speaker 8: my doors. And when you hear the drum and the
- 44:17Speaker 8: vile squealing of the rye necked fife, clamber not you
- 44:21Speaker 8: up to the casements, then, nor thrust your head into
- 44:24Speaker 8: the public street to gaze on Christian fools with varnished faces.
- 44:28Speaker 8: But stop my houses, ears, I mean my casements. Let
- 44:32Speaker 8: not the sound of shallow foppery enter my sober house
- 44:36Speaker 8: by Jacob's staff. I swear I have no mind of
- 44:39Speaker 8: feasting forth tonight. But I will go. Go you before me, Sarah,
- 44:45Speaker 8: say I will come.
- 44:46Speaker 14: I will go before sir mistress. Look out the window
- 44:50Speaker 14: for all this there will come a Christian by will
- 44:54Speaker 14: be worth a Jewis's eye.
- 44:56Speaker 1: Exit Launcelot.
- 44:58Speaker 8: What says that fool of hay Gar's offspring? Hah.
- 45:01Speaker 16: His words were farewell mistress, nothing else.
- 45:05Speaker 8: The patch is kind enough, but a huge feeder snails
- 45:09Speaker 8: slow in profit, and he sleeps by day more than
- 45:12Speaker 8: the wild cat. Drones hive not with me. Therefore I
- 45:17Speaker 8: part with him, and part with him to one that
- 45:19Speaker 8: I would have him help to waste his borrowed purse. Well, Jessica,
- 45:26Speaker 8: go in, perhaps I will return immediately. Do as I
- 45:30Speaker 8: bid you. Shut doors after you fast, bind fast, find
- 45:35Speaker 8: a proverb never stale in thrifty mind.
- 45:38Speaker 16: Exit farewell, And if my fortune be not crossed, I
- 45:44Speaker 16: have a father, you a daughter lost.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Exit Scene six. The same enter Gratiano and Salerino messed.
- 45:58Speaker 7: This is the penthouse under which Lord Lorenzo desired us
- 46:01Speaker 7: to make stand.
- 46:02Speaker 3: His hour is almost past, and.
- 46:04Speaker 7: It is marvel he outdwells his hour for lovers ever
- 46:07Speaker 7: run before the clock.
- 46:09Speaker 3: Oh ten times faster. Venus pigeons fly to seal love's
- 46:13Speaker 3: bonds new maid than they are wont to keep obliged
- 46:15Speaker 3: faith unforfeited.
- 46:17Speaker 7: That ever holds who riseth from a feast with that
- 46:21Speaker 7: keen appetite that he sits down? Where is the horse
- 46:24Speaker 7: that doth untread again his tedious measures with the unbated
- 46:28Speaker 7: fire that he did pace them first. All things that
- 46:32Speaker 7: are are with more spirit chaste than enjoyed. How like
- 46:36Speaker 7: a younger or a prodigal, the scarfed bark puts from
- 46:40Speaker 7: her native bay, hugged and embraced by the strumpet wind.
- 46:44Speaker 7: How like the prodigal doth she return with overweathered ribs
- 46:48Speaker 7: and ragged sails, lean rent and beggared by the strumpet wind.
- 46:54Speaker 3: Here comes Lorenzo. More of this hereafter, enter.
- 46:57Speaker 6: Lorenzo, sweet friends, your patient for my long abode. Not
- 47:02Speaker 6: I but my affairs have made you wait. When you
- 47:05Speaker 6: shall please to play the thieves for wives, I'll watch

- 47:27Speaker 6: Tongue, Lorenzo, and thy love.
- 47:30Speaker 16: Lorenzo certain and my love indeed, for who love I
- 47:35Speaker 16: so much? And now who knows but you Lorenzo, Whether
- 47:38Speaker 16: I am.
- 47:39Speaker 6: Yours heaven and thy thoughts are witness that thou art.
- 47:44Speaker 16: Here catch this casket. It is worth the pains. I
- 47:48Speaker 16: am glad tis night. You do not look on me,
- 47:51Speaker 16: for I am much ashamed of my exchange. But love
- 47:54Speaker 16: is blind, and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that
- 47:58Speaker 16: themselves commit. For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
- 48:02Speaker 16: to see me. Thus transform into a.
- 48:05Speaker 6: Boy, descend, for you must be my torch bearer.
- 48:08Speaker 16: What must I hold a candle to my shames? They
- 48:12Speaker 16: and themselves good sooth are too too light? What is
- 48:16Speaker 16: an office of discovery?
- 48:17Speaker 8: Love?
- 48:17Speaker 16: And I should be obscured?
- 48:20Speaker 6: So are you sweet, even in the lovely garnish of
- 48:23Speaker 6: a boy. But come at once for the closed night
- 48:26Speaker 6: doth play the runaway, and we are stayed. For at
- 48:29Speaker 6: Bassanio's feast, I will.
- 48:31Speaker 16: Make fast the doors and gild myself with sammo ducats,
- 48:34Speaker 16: and be with you straight exit above.
- 48:38Speaker 7: Now by my hood a gentile, and no jew.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Be shrew me.
- 48:42Speaker 6: But I love her heartily, for she is wise, if
- 48:45Speaker 6: I can judge of her, and fair she is, If
- 48:48Speaker 6: that mine eyes be true and true, she is as
- 48:52Speaker 6: she hath proved herself, and therefore like herself, wise, fair
- 48:56Speaker 6: and true? Shall she be placed in my constant?
- 48:59Speaker 1: So enter Jessica.
- 49:02Speaker 6: What art thou come on, gentlemen, away our masking maids
- 49:06Speaker 6: by this time for a stay.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Exit with Jessica and Salerino. Enter Antonio, who's there?
- 49:16Speaker 7: Signor Antonio?

- 49:23Speaker 2: our friends. I'll stay for you, no mask tonight. The
- 49:26Speaker 2: wind has come about, Butsanio presently will go aboard. I
- 49:31Speaker 2: have sent twenty out to seek for you.
- 49:33Speaker 7: I am glad aunt. I desire no more delight than
- 49:37Speaker 7: to be under sail and gone tonight.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Excent Scene seven Belmont, a room in Porsche's house, flourish
- 49:48Speaker 1: of cornets. Enter Porscha with the Prince of Morocco and
- 49:55Speaker 1: their trains.
- 49:56Speaker 10: Go draw aside the curtains and discover the several caskets
- 49:59Speaker 10: to this noble prince, Now make your choice.
- 50:03Speaker 13: The first of gold, who this inscription bears, who chooseth me,
- 50:08Speaker 13: shall gain what many men desire. The second silver, which
- 50:13Speaker 13: this promise carries, who chooseth me, shall get as much
- 50:17Speaker 13: as he deserves. This third dull lead with warning all
- 50:22Speaker 13: his blunt. Who chooseth me must give and hazard all
- 50:25Speaker 13: he hath. How shall I know if I do choose
- 50:28Speaker 13: the right.
- 50:29Speaker 10: The one of them contains my picture, Prince. If you
- 50:32Speaker 10: choose that, then I am yours withal.
- 50:35Speaker 13: Some God direct my judgment. Let me see. I will
- 50:40Speaker 13: survey the inscriptions back again. What says this leaden casket,
- 50:45Speaker 13: who chooseth me must give an hazard? All he hath
- 50:50Speaker 13: must give for what for lead? Hazard? For lead? This
- 50:55Speaker 13: casket threatens men that hazard? All do it in hope
- 50:59Speaker 13: of fair advantage. A golden mind stoops not to shows
- 51:03Speaker 13: of dross. I'll then nor give nor hazard aught for lead?
- 51:08Speaker 13: What says the silver with her virgin hue, who chooseth me,
- 51:13Speaker 13: shall get as much as he deserves, as much as
- 51:16Speaker 13: he deserves. Pause there, Morocco, and weigh thy value with
- 51:20Speaker 13: an even hand. If thou beest rated by thy estimation,
- 51:25Speaker 13: thou dost deserve enough. And yet enough may not extend
- 51:29Speaker 13: so far as to the lady, And yet to be
- 51:32Speaker 13: afeared of my deserving were but a weak disabling of
- 51:35Speaker 13: myself as much as I deserve. Why that's the lady.
- 51:41Speaker 13: I do in birth deserve her, and in fortunes, in graces,
- 51:46Speaker 13: and in qualities of breeding. But more than these, in
- 51:50Speaker 13: love I do deserve. What if I strayed no farther
- 51:55Speaker 13: but chose here. Let's see once more, this saying graved gold.
- 52:01Speaker 13: Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire. Why
- 52:06Speaker 13: that's the lady. All the world desires her. From the
- 52:09Speaker 13: four corners of the earth. They come to kiss the
- 52:12Speaker 13: shrine this mortal breathing saint. The Hyrcanian deserts and the

- 52:20Speaker 13: princes to come view fair Portia, the watery kingdom whose
- 52:25Speaker 13: ambitious head spits in the face of heaven. Is no
- 52:28Speaker 13: bar to stop the foreign spirits. But they come as
- 52:31Speaker 13: o'er a brook to see fair Portia. One of these
- 52:36Speaker 13: three contains her heavenly picture? Is it like that lead
- 52:40Speaker 13: contains her?
- 52:41Speaker 8: Tware?
- 52:42Speaker 13: Damnation? To think so base a thought it were too
- 52:45Speaker 13: gross to rib her sarecloth in the obscure grave? Or
- 52:49Speaker 13: shall I think in silver? She's immured, being ten times
- 52:53Speaker 13: under value to tried gold, Oh, sinful thought, never so
- 52:58Speaker 13: rich a gem was set in worse than god old.
- 53:01Speaker 13: They have an England, a coin that bears the figure
- 53:03Speaker 13: of an angel stamped in gold. But that's in sculpt
- 53:07Speaker 13: upon But here an angel in a golden bed lies
- 53:11Speaker 13: all within deliver me the key? Here do I choose
- 53:15Speaker 13: and thrive I as I may.
- 53:17Speaker 10: There, take it, Prince, and if my form lie there,
- 53:20Speaker 10: then I am yours.
- 53:23Speaker 1: He unlocks the golden casket.
- 53:26Speaker 13: Oh hell, what have we here? A carrion death, within
- 53:30Speaker 13: whose empty eye there is a written scroll. I'll read
- 53:34Speaker 13: the writing. All that glisters is not gold. Often have
- 53:39Speaker 13: you heard that? Told many a man his life hath sold,
- 53:42Speaker 13: but my outside to behold gilded tombs? Do worms in fold?
- 53:48Speaker 13: Had you been as wise as bold, young, and limbs
- 53:51Speaker 13: in judgment, old, your answer had not been enscrolled? Fare
- 53:56Speaker 13: you well? Your suit is cold cold, indeed, had labor lost?
- 54:04Speaker 13: Then farewell, heat and welcome frost. Portia, adieu. I have
- 54:10Speaker 13: to grieve de heart to take a tedious leave, thus
- 54:14Speaker 13: lose his part.
- 54:15Speaker 1: Exit with his train, flourish of cornets.

- 54:37Speaker 3: Why man I saw Bissanio under sail with him? Is
- 54:40Speaker 3: Gratiano gone along and in their ship? I am sure
- 54:43Speaker 3: Lorenzo is.
- 54:44Speaker 4: Not the villain. Jew with outcries raised the duke who
- 54:48Speaker 4: went with him to search Bassanio's ship.
- 54:51Speaker 3: He came too late, the ship was under sail. But
- 54:53Speaker 3: there the Duke was given to understand that in a
- 54:55Speaker 3: gondola were seen together Lorenzo and his amorous Jessica beside duds.
- 55:00Speaker 3: Antonio certified the Duke they were not with Bissanio in
- 55:03Speaker 3: his ship.
- 55:04Speaker 4: I never heard a passion so confused, so strange, outrageous,
- 55:08Speaker 4: and so variable as the dog jud did utter in
- 55:11Speaker 4: the streets. My daughter, Oh my ducats, Oh, my daughter
- 55:15Speaker 4: fled with a Christian, Oh my Christian ducats, justice, the law,
- 55:19Speaker 4: my ducats, and my daughter. A sealed bag, two sealed
- 55:22Speaker 4: bags of ducats, of double ducats stolen from me by
- 55:25Speaker 4: my daughter. And jewels two stones too rich and precious
- 55:28Speaker 4: stones stolen by my daughter, just as find the girls.
- 55:32Speaker 4: She had the stones upon her and the ducats.
- 55:34Speaker 3: Why all the boys in Venice follow him crying his stones,
- 55:38Speaker 3: his daughter and his ducats.
- 55:40Speaker 4: Let good Antonio, look, he keep his day, or he
- 55:42Speaker 4: shall pay for this.
- 55:44Speaker 3: Mary Well remembered. I reasoned with a Frenchman yesterday, who
- 55:47Speaker 3: told me in the narrow seas that part the French
- 55:49Speaker 3: and English there miscarried a vessel of our country richly fraught.
- 55:54Speaker 3: I thought upon Antonio when he told me, and wished
- 55:56Speaker 3: in silence that it were not his.
- 55:58Speaker 4: You were best to tell Antonio what you hear. Yet
- 56:01Speaker 4: do not suddenly, for it may grieve him.
- 56:03Speaker 3: A kinder gentleman treads not the earth. I saw Bassanio
- 56:07Speaker 3: and Antonio part. Bassanio told him he would make some
- 56:10Speaker 3: speed of his return. He answered, do not so slubber,
- 56:14Speaker 3: not business for my sake, Bassanio, but stay the very
- 56:17Speaker 3: riping of the time, and for the Jew's bond which
- 56:20Speaker 3: he half of me. Let it not enter in your
- 56:22Speaker 3: mind of love. Be merry, and employ your chiefest thoughts
- 56:26Speaker 3: to courtship and such fair ostense of love as shall
- 56:29Speaker 3: conveniently become you there and even there, his eye being big,
- 56:33Speaker 3: with tears turning his face, he put his hand behind him,
- 56:37Speaker 3: and with affection, wondrous sensible, he wrung Bassanio's hand, and
- 56:41Speaker 3: so they parted.
- 56:42Speaker 4: I think he only loves the world for him. I
- 56:45Speaker 4: pray thee let us go and find him out and
- 56:47Speaker 4: quicken his embraced heaviness with some delight or other.
- 56:50Speaker 8: Do we so excient?

- 57:54Speaker 9: if I do fail in fortune of my choice, immediately
- 57:58Speaker 9: to leave you and be gone.
- 58:00Speaker 10: To these injunctions. Every one doth swear that comes to
- 58:03Speaker 10: hazard for my worthless self.
- 58:06Speaker 9: And so have I addressed me fortune now to my
- 58:09Speaker 9: heart's hope, gold, silver and base lead. Who chooseth me
- 58:22Speaker 9: must give an hazard all he have you shall look fairer.
- 58:28Speaker 9: Ere I give or hazard? What says the golden chest
- 58:31Speaker 9: ha Let me see who chooseth me shall gain what
- 58:36Speaker 9: many men desire, What many men desire, that many may
- 58:43Speaker 9: be meant by the full multitude that choose by show
- 58:47Speaker 9: not learning more than the fond ey doth teach, which
- 58:49Speaker 9: prize not to the interior, but like the martlet builds
- 58:54Speaker 9: in the weather on the outward war, even in the
- 58:57Speaker 9: force and road of casualty. I will not choose what
- 59:01Speaker 9: many men desire, because I will not jump with common
- 59:05Speaker 9: spirits and rank me with the barbarous multitudes. Where then,
- 59:10Speaker 9: to thee thou silver treasure house, tell me once more
- 59:15Speaker 9: what title thou dost bear, who chooseth me shall get
- 59:20Speaker 9: as much as he deserves. And well said too, For
- 59:27Speaker 9: who shall go about to cousin fortune and be honorable
- 59:29Speaker 9: without the stamp of merit? Let none presume to wear
- 59:35Speaker 9: an undeserved dignity? Oh that his states, degrees, and offices
- 59:42Speaker 9: were not derived corruptly, and that clear honor were purchased
- 59:46Speaker 9: by the merit of the wearer. How many then should
- 59:51Speaker 9: cover that stand bear, How many be commanded that command?
- 59:57Speaker 9: How much low peasantry would then be gleamed from the
- 1:00:01Speaker 9: true seed of honor, And how much honor picked from
- 1:00:05Speaker 9: the chaff and ruin of the times to be new varnished. Well,
- 1:00:10Speaker 9: but to my choice, who chooseth me shall get as
- 1:00:15Speaker 9: much as he deserves. I will assume desert. Give me
- 1:00:22Speaker 9: a key for this, and instantly unlock my fortunes.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: Here he opens the silver casket.
- 1:00:30Speaker 10: Too long a pause for that which you find there?
- 1:00:33Speaker 8: What's here.
- 1:00:36Speaker 9: The portrait of a blinking idiot presenting me a schedule?
- 1:00:43Speaker 9: I will read it. How much unlike art thou to Porsche,
- 1:00:47Speaker 9: how much unlike my hopes and my deservings, who chooseth
- 1:00:52Speaker 9: me shall have as much as he deserves? Did I
- 1:00:55Speaker 9: deserve no more than a fool's head? Is that my prize?
- 1:01:00Speaker 9: My desserts no better to.
- 1:01:01Speaker 10: Offend and judge are distinct offices and of opposed natures.
- 1:01:06Speaker 9: What is here the fire? Seven times tried this, seven
- 1:01:16Speaker 9: times tried that? Judgment? Is that did never choose a miss?
- 1:01:23Speaker 9: Some there be that shadows kiss such have but a
- 1:01:27Speaker 9: shadow's bliss. There be fools alive. I wiss silver door,
- 1:01:34Speaker 9: and so was this? Take what wife you will to bed?
- 1:01:40Speaker 9: I will ever be your head, so begone you are
- 1:01:46Speaker 9: sped still more fool I shall appear by the time
- 1:01:55Speaker 9: I linger here with one fool's head, I came to woo.
- 1:02:01Speaker 9: I go away with two sweet adieu. I'll keep my
- 1:02:06Speaker 9: oath patiently to bear my roath exit Arragon with his train.
- 1:02:14Speaker 10: Thus hath the candle singed the moth. Oh, these deliberate fools,
- 1:02:20Speaker 10: when they do choose, they have the wisdom by their
- 1:02:22Speaker 10: wit to lose.
- 1:02:24Speaker 11: The ancient saying is no heresy. Hanging and wiving goes
- 1:02:27Speaker 11: by destiny.
- 1:02:28Speaker 10: Come draw the curtain.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: Narissa, enter a servant.
- 1:02:32Speaker 12: Where is my lady here?
- 1:02:34Speaker 10: What would my lord madam?
- 1:02:36Speaker 12: There is alighted at your gait, A young Venetian one
- 1:02:38Speaker 12: that comes before to signify the approaching of his lord,
- 1:02:41Speaker 12: from whom he bringeth sensible regreats to wit, besides commends
- 1:02:46Speaker 12: and courteous breath, gifts of rich value. Yet I have
- 1:02:50Speaker 12: not seen so likely an ambassador of love. A day
- 1:02:53Speaker 12: in April never came so sweet to show how costly
- 1:02:56Speaker 12: summer was at hand. As this forespurer comes before his lord.
- 1:03:01Speaker 10: No more I pray THEE. I am half afeared. Thou
- 1:03:03Speaker 10: wilt say, Anon, he is some kin to THEE. Thou
- 1:03:06Speaker 10: spent such high day wit in praising him. Come come, Nerissa,
- 1:03:11Speaker 10: for I long to see quick Cupid's posts. That comes
- 1:03:14Speaker 10: so mannerly, Bassenio, Lord love, if thy will it be excellent?
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: End of Act two, Act three, Scene one, venice a street,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: enter Salanio and Sala Grino.
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: Now what news on the rialto.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: Why yet it lives there unchecked? That Antonio hath a
- 1:03:38Speaker 3: ship of rich lading wrecked on the narrow seas the
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: good ones I think they call the place a very
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: dangerous flat and fatal, where the carcasses of many a
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: tall ship lie buried. As they say, if my gossip
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: report be an honest woman of her word.
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: I would she were as lying a gossip in that
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: as ever napped Ginger or made her neighbors believe she
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: wept for the death of the third husband. But it
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: is true, without any slips of perlxity or crossing the
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: plain highway of talk, that the good Antonio, the honest Antonio, Oh,
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: that I had a title good enough to keep his
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: name company.
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: Come the full stop?
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: Ha, what says now why the end is he hath
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: lost a ship?
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: I would it might prove the end of his losses.
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: Let me say, amen, betimes, lest the devil cross my prayer,
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: for here he comes in the likeness of a jew enter.
- 1:04:27Speaker 8: Shylock, you knew none so well, none so well as
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: you of my daughter's flight.
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: That's certain. I, for my part knew the tailor that
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: made the wing she flew with.
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: All, And Shylock, for his own part, knew the bird
- 1:04:41Speaker 4: was fledged. And then it is the complexion of them
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: all to leave the dam.
- 1:04:45Speaker 8: She is damned for it.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: That's certain. If the devil may be her judge my.
- 1:04:50Speaker 8: Own a flesh and bliged rebel.
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: Out upon it. Old Carrion rebels it.
- 1:04:56Speaker 8: At these years, I say, my daughter is my f
- 1:05:00Speaker 8: flesh and my blood.
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: There is more difference between thy flesh and hers than
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: between jet and ivory, more between your bloods than there
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: is between red wine and rhenish. But tell us, do
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: you hear whether Antonio have had any loss at sea
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: or no?
- 1:05:14Speaker 8: There? I have another bad match, a bankrupt, a prodigal
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: who dares scarce show his head on rialto a beggar
- 1:05:22Speaker 8: that used to come so smug upon the mart Let
- 1:05:25Speaker 8: him look to his bond. He was wont to call
- 1:05:29Speaker 8: me user. Let him look to his bond. He was
- 1:05:33Speaker 8: wont to lend money for a Christian courtesy. Let him
- 1:05:37Speaker 8: look to his bond.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: Why I am sure if he forfeit, thou wilt not
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: take his flesh? What's that good for to.
- 1:05:44Speaker 8: Bait fish withal? If it will feed nothing else, it
- 1:05:48Speaker 8: will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me and hindered
- 1:05:54Speaker 8: me half a million, laughed at my losses, marked at
- 1:05:59Speaker 8: my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends.
- 1:06:04Speaker 8: He died mine enemies. And what is reason? I am
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: a Jew? Hath not a jew? Eyes? Hath not a Jew? Hands? Organs, dimensions, senses, affections,
- 1:06:20Speaker 8: passions fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons,
- 1:06:25Speaker 8: subject to the same diseases, keeled by the same means,
- 1:06:30Speaker 8: warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as
- 1:06:32Speaker 8: a Christian is. If you prick us, do we not bleed?
- 1:06:39Speaker 8: If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you
- 1:06:42Speaker 8: poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us,
- 1:06:47Speaker 8: shall we not revenge? If we are like you in
- 1:06:51Speaker 8: the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a
- 1:06:54Speaker 8: Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility revenge? If
- 1:06:59Speaker 8: a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be?
- 1:07:02Speaker 8: By Christian example, why revenge the villainy you teach me.
- 1:07:08Speaker 8: I will execute, and it shall go hard, but I
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: will better the instruction.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Enter a servant, a gentleman.
- 1:07:19Speaker 12: My master Antonio is at his house and desires to
- 1:07:22Speaker 12: speak with you.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Both we have been up and down to seek him.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: Enter Tibble.
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: Here comes another of the tribe. A third cannot be
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: matched unless the devil himself turned you.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Excent Salanio, Salarino, and servant.
- 1:07:38Speaker 8: How now, Tibble? What news from Genoa? Hast thou found
- 1:07:41Speaker 8: my daughter?
- 1:07:43Speaker 17: I often came where I did hear of her, but
- 1:07:46Speaker 17: cannot find her.
- 1:07:48Speaker 8: Why there there ver a diamond gone? Cost me two
- 1:07:57Speaker 8: thousand ducats in Frankfort. The curse never fell upon our
- 1:08:01Speaker 8: nation till now. I never felt it till now two
- 1:08:08Speaker 8: thousand ducats in that and other precious, precious jewels. I
- 1:08:13Speaker 8: would my daughter were dead at my foot, and the
- 1:08:16Speaker 8: jewels in her ear, which she would hurst at my foot,
- 1:08:19Speaker 8: in the duckets in her coffin, No news of them?
- 1:08:23Speaker 8: Why so? And I know not what's spent in the search.
- 1:08:28Speaker 8: Why thou loss upon loss? The thief gone with so
- 1:08:32Speaker 8: much and so much to find the thief, and no satisfaction,
- 1:08:37Speaker 8: no revenge you, no ill luck stirring, but what lights
- 1:08:41Speaker 8: on my shoulders? No size but of my breathing, No
- 1:08:45Speaker 8: tears but of my shedding.
- 1:08:47Speaker 17: Yes, other men have ill luck too, Antonio, As I
- 1:08:53Speaker 17: heard in Genoa.
- 1:08:54Speaker 8: What what what ill luck? Ill luck?
- 1:08:58Speaker 17: Hath an argysy cast way coming from triplush?
- 1:09:02Speaker 8: I thank God, I thank God. Is it true? Is
- 1:09:06Speaker 8: it true?
- 1:09:07Speaker 17: I spoke with some of the sailors that escaped the wreck.
- 1:09:10Speaker 8: God, I thank thee good triple good news, good news.
- 1:09:17Speaker 8: Where in Genoa?
- 1:09:18Speaker 17: Your daughter spent in Genoa? As I heard one night,
- 1:09:24Speaker 17: four score ducats.
- 1:09:26Speaker 8: Thou sticks a dagger in me. I shall never see
- 1:09:30Speaker 8: my gold again. Four score ducats. At the sitting for
- 1:09:35Speaker 8: score buckets.
- 1:09:36Speaker 17: There came divers of Antonio's creditors to my company, to
- 1:09:40Speaker 17: Venice that swear he cannot choose but break.
- 1:09:45Speaker 8: I am very glad of it. I'll plague him, I'll
- 1:09:48Speaker 8: torture him. I am glad of it.
- 1:09:51Speaker 17: One of them showed me a ring that he had
- 1:09:53Speaker 17: of your daughter for a monkey.
- 1:09:56Speaker 8: Oh out upon her, Thou taught be tibble. It was
- 1:10:02Speaker 8: my turquoise. I had it of Leah when I was
- 1:10:06Speaker 8: a bachelor. I would not have given it for a
- 1:10:10Speaker 8: wilderness of monkeys.
- 1:10:12Speaker 17: But Antonio is certainly m borrow.
- 1:10:16Speaker 8: Nay, that's true, that's very true. Go tible Fimian officer
- 1:10:23Speaker 8: bespeak him a fortnight before. I will have the heart
- 1:10:26Speaker 8: of him if he forfeit, For were he out of venice,
- 1:10:29Speaker 8: I can make but merchandise, I will go tibble and
- 1:10:32Speaker 8: meet me at our synagogue. Go good tibble at our synagogue.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: Table Excient scene two Belmont, A room in Porsche's house.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: Enter Bassango, Porsche, Gratiano, Nearissa and attendants.
- 1:10:51Speaker 10: I pray you, Terry, pause a day or two before
- 1:10:55Speaker 10: you hazard for in choosing wrong, I lose your company.
- 1:10:59Speaker 10: Therefore forbear awhile there's something tells me, but it is
- 1:11:04Speaker 10: not love. I would not lose you, and you know yourself.
- 1:11:08Speaker 10: Hate counsels not in such a quality. But lest you
- 1:11:11Speaker 10: should not understand me well, and yet a maiden hath
- 1:11:15Speaker 10: no tongue, but thought I would detain you here some
- 1:11:18Speaker 10: month or two before you venture for me. I could
- 1:11:21Speaker 10: teach you how to choose right. But then I am forsworn,
- 1:11:25Speaker 10: so will I never be? So may you miss me?
- 1:11:29Speaker 10: But if you do, you'll make me wish a sin
- 1:11:31Speaker 10: that I had been forsworn. Beshrew your eyes they have
- 1:11:35Speaker 10: o'erlooked me and divided me. One half of me is yours,
- 1:11:40Speaker 10: the other half yours mine own, I would say, But
- 1:11:43Speaker 10: if mine, then yours, and so all yours. Oh, these
- 1:11:47Speaker 10: naughty times puts bars between the owners and their rights.
- 1:11:51Speaker 10: And so though yours not yours, prove it. So let
- 1:11:57Speaker 10: fortune go to hell for it not I I speak
- 1:12:00Speaker 10: too long, But tis topease the time to eke it,
- 1:12:03Speaker 10: and to draw it out in length to stay you
- 1:12:05Speaker 10: from election.
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: Let me choose, for as I am, I live upon
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: the rack.
- 1:12:10Speaker 10: Upon the rack, basanio, Then confess what treason there is
- 1:12:14Speaker 10: mingled with your love?
- 1:12:16Speaker 5: None but that ugly treason of mistrust, which makes me
- 1:12:19Speaker 5: fear the enjoying of my love. There may as well
- 1:12:22Speaker 5: be amity in life between snow and fire as treason
- 1:12:26Speaker 5: and my love.
- 1:12:27Speaker 10: Aye, but I fear you speak upon the rack where
- 1:12:30Speaker 10: men enforce it.
- 1:12:31Speaker 5: Do speak anything, promise me life and not confess the truth.
- 1:12:36Speaker 10: Well, then confess and live.
- 1:12:38Speaker 5: Confess and love had been the very sum of my confession. Oh,
- 1:12:43Speaker 5: happy torment. When my torturer doth teach me answers for deliverance.
- 1:12:48Speaker 5: But let me to my fortune and the caskets away.
- 1:12:52Speaker 10: Then I am locked in one of them. If you
- 1:12:56Speaker 10: do love me, you will find me out, And the
- 1:13:00Speaker 10: rest stand all aloof. Let music sound while he doth
- 1:13:04Speaker 10: make his choice. Then if he lose, he makes a
- 1:13:07Speaker 10: swan like end, fading in music, that the comparison may
- 1:13:11Speaker 10: stand more proper. My eye shall be the stream and
- 1:13:15Speaker 10: watery death bed for him he may win. And what
- 1:13:19Speaker 10: is music?
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: Then?
- 1:13:20Speaker 10: Then music is even as the flourish when true subjects
- 1:13:24Speaker 10: bow to a new crowned monarch. Such it is as
- 1:13:28Speaker 10: are those dulcet sounds in break of day that creep
- 1:13:31Speaker 10: into the dreaming bridegroom's ear and summon him to marriage.
- 1:13:35Speaker 10: Now he goes with no less presence, but with much
- 1:13:39Speaker 10: more love than young Alcides, when he did redeem the
- 1:13:42Speaker 10: virgin tribute paid by howling Troy to the sea monster.
- 1:13:46Speaker 10: I stand for sacrifice. The rest aloof are the Dardanian
- 1:13:51Speaker 10: wives with bleared visages come forth to view the issue
- 1:13:54Speaker 10: of the exploit. Go Hercules live thou, I live with
- 1:14:01Speaker 10: much much more dismay I view the fight than thou.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: That makes the fray a song, while the saniel comments
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: on the caskets to himself.
- 1:14:12Speaker 16: Tell me he where is fancy bread.
- 1:14:17Speaker 18: Or in the heart or in the head?
- 1:14:23Speaker 8: Ha be he gone?
- 1:14:25Speaker 16: How nois shared?
- 1:14:29Speaker 8: Reply?
- 1:14:31Speaker 5: Reply?
- 1:14:34Speaker 18: It is engendered in the eyes with gayhee's eking fed
- 1:14:41Speaker 18: and fancy died.
- 1:14:45Speaker 11: In the great or wear it las.
- 1:14:52Speaker 18: Lead us all ring fans season. I'll begin, dan, don be, day.
- 1:15:08Speaker 8: Don.
- 1:15:10Speaker 5: Be, so may the outward shows be least themselves. The
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: world is still deceived with ornament in law? What plea
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: so tainted and corrupt, but being seasoned with a gracious
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: voice obscures the show of evil in religion? What damned error?
- 1:15:33Speaker 5: But some sober brow will bless it and approve it
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: with a text hiding the grossness with fair ornament. There
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: is no vice so simple, but assume some mark of
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: virtue on his outward parts. How many cowards whose hearts
- 1:15:50Speaker 5: are all as false as stairs of sand wear, yet
- 1:15:53Speaker 5: upon their chins the beards of Hercules and frowning Mars,
- 1:15:58Speaker 5: who inward searched have livers white as milk. And these
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: assume but Valor's excrement to render them redoubted. Look on beauty,
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: and you shall see tis purchased by the weight, which
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: therein works a miracle in nature, making them lightest that
- 1:16:15Speaker 5: wear most of it. So were those crispid, snaky golden
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: locks which make such wanton gambols with the wind upon
- 1:16:25Speaker 5: supposed fairness, often known to be the dowry of a
- 1:16:28Speaker 5: second head, the skull that bred them in the suppulcher.
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: Thus ornament is but the guiled shore to a most
- 1:16:35Speaker 5: dangerous sea, the beauteous scarf, veiling an Indian beauty, in
- 1:16:42Speaker 5: a word, the seeming truth which cunning times put on
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: to entrap the wisest. Therefore, thou gaudy gold hard food
- 1:16:50Speaker 5: for midas, I will none of thee, nor none of
- 1:16:55Speaker 5: thee thou pale and common drudge tween man and man.
- 1:17:00Speaker 5: But thou thou meager lad, which rather threatenest than dost
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: promise aught. Thy plainness moves me more than eloquence. And
- 1:17:12Speaker 5: here choose I joy be the consequence.
- 1:17:17Speaker 10: Aside, how all the other passions fleet to air as
- 1:17:22Speaker 10: doubtful thoughts and rash embrace, despair and shuddering fear and
- 1:17:26Speaker 10: green eyed jealousy. O love be moderate, allay thy ecstasy
- 1:17:33Speaker 10: in measure, rain thy joy scant the success I feel
- 1:17:37Speaker 10: too much thy blessing make it less for fear I surfeit?
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: What find I hear opening thee leaden casket?
- 1:17:46Speaker 5: Fair Porsha's counterfeit? What Demigod hath come so near creation?
- 1:17:53Speaker 5: Move these eyes? Or whether riding on the balls of mind,
- 1:17:57Speaker 5: seem they in motion? Here are severed lips parted with
- 1:18:03Speaker 5: sugar breath, so sweet a bar should sunder such sweet friends.
- 1:18:08Speaker 5: Here in her hairs the painter plays the spider, and
- 1:18:11Speaker 5: hath woven a golden mesh to entrap the hearts of
- 1:18:14Speaker 5: men faster than gnats in cobwebs. But her eyes, how
- 1:18:20Speaker 5: could he see to do them? Having made one, methinks
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: it should have powered to steal both his and leave
- 1:18:25Speaker 5: itself unfurnished. Yet look how far the substance of my
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: praise doth wrong this shadow in underprizing it. So far
- 1:18:34Speaker 5: this shadow doth limp behind the substance. Here is the scroll,
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: the continent and summary of my fortune. You that choose
- 1:18:46Speaker 5: not by the view chance as fairer, and choose as true.
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: Since this fortune falls to you, be content and seek
- 1:18:56Speaker 5: no new If you be well pleased with this, and
- 1:19:00Speaker 5: hold your fortune for your bliss, turn to where your
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: lady is, and claim her with a loving kiss, a
- 1:19:10Speaker 5: gentle scroll, fair lady, by your leave, kissing her by
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: come by note, to give and to receive, like one
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: of two contending in a prize that things he hath
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: done well in people's eyes, hearing applause and universal shout Gideon,
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: spirit still gazing in a doubt whether these pearls of
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: praise be his or no. So thrice, fair lady, stand
- 1:19:38Speaker 5: I even so as doubtful whether what I see be true,
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: until confirmed, signed, ratified by you.
- 1:19:48Speaker 10: You see me, Lord Basania, where I stand such as
- 1:19:52Speaker 10: I am. Though for myself alone I would not be
- 1:19:55Speaker 10: ambitious in my wish to wish myself much better. Yet
- 1:19:59Speaker 10: for you I would be trebled twenty times myself a
- 1:20:02Speaker 10: thousand times more fair, ten thousand times more rich that
- 1:20:07Speaker 10: only to stand high in your account. I might, in virtues, beauties, livings,
- 1:20:12Speaker 10: friends exceed account. But the full sum of me is
- 1:20:17Speaker 10: some of something which to term engross is an unlessened girl, unschooled,
- 1:20:23Speaker 10: unpracticed happy in this. She is not yet so old,
- 1:20:27Speaker 10: but she may learn happier than this. She is not
- 1:20:30Speaker 10: bred so dull, but she can learn happiest of all
- 1:20:34Speaker 10: is that her gentle spirit commits itself to yours, to
- 1:20:37Speaker 10: be directed as from her lord, her governor, her king myself.
- 1:20:44Speaker 10: And what is mine to you and yours is now converted.
- 1:20:48Speaker 10: But now I was the lord of this fair mansion,
- 1:20:51Speaker 10: master of my servants, queen or myself, and even now,
- 1:20:56Speaker 10: but now this house, these servants, and this say myself
- 1:21:01Speaker 10: are yours, My lords. I give them with this ring,
- 1:21:06Speaker 10: which when you part from, lose or give away, let
- 1:21:09Speaker 10: it presage the ruin of your love, and be my
- 1:21:12Speaker 10: vantage to exclaim on you.
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: Madam, you've bereft me of all words. Only my blood
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: speaks to you in my veins. And there is such
- 1:21:21Speaker 5: confusion in my powers as after some oration fairly spoke
- 1:21:25Speaker 5: by a beloved prince. There doth appear among the buzzing,
- 1:21:28Speaker 5: pleased multitude, where every something being blunt together turns to
- 1:21:34Speaker 5: a wild of nothing save of joy expressed and not expressed.
- 1:21:40Speaker 5: But when this ring parts from this finger, then parts
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: life from hence, oh, then be bold to say, Bassanio's dead,
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: My lord and lady.
- 1:21:51Speaker 11: It is now our time that have stood by, and
- 1:21:53Speaker 11: see I wish this prosper to cry good joy, good joy,
- 1:21:56Speaker 11: my lord and lady.
- 1:21:57Speaker 7: My Lord Basonio and my lady, I wish you all
- 1:22:02Speaker 7: the joy that you can wish for I am sure
- 1:22:04Speaker 7: that you can wish none from me. And when your
- 1:22:07Speaker 7: honors mean to solemnize the bargain of your faith, I
- 1:22:11Speaker 7: do beseech you even at that time I may be
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: married too, with.
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: All my heart, so thou canst get a wife.
- 1:22:18Speaker 7: I thank your lordship you have got me one. My eyes,
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: my lord, can look as swift as yours. You saw
- 1:22:25Speaker 7: the mistress. I beheld the maid you loved. I loved
- 1:22:30Speaker 7: for intermission. No more pertains to me, my lord than you.
- 1:22:34Speaker 7: Your fortune stood upon the caskets there, and so did
- 1:22:38Speaker 7: mine too, as the matter falls. For wooing here until
- 1:22:42Speaker 7: I sweat again, and swearing till my very roof was
- 1:22:45Speaker 7: dry with oaths of love. At last, if promised last,
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: I got a promise of this fair one here to
- 1:22:52Speaker 7: have her love, provided that your fortune achieved her mistress?
- 1:22:56Speaker 16: Is this true?
- 1:22:57Speaker 11: Nrissa madam? It is so please you?
- 1:23:01Speaker 5: And do you Graciano mean good faith?
- 1:23:03Speaker 7: Yes? Faith, my lord.
- 1:23:05Speaker 5: Our feasts shall be much honored in your marriage.
- 1:23:08Speaker 7: We'll play with them. The first boy for a thousand
- 1:23:12Speaker 7: ducats what stake down?
- 1:23:14Speaker 8: No, we shall.
- 1:23:15Speaker 7: Ne'er win at that sport and stake down. But who
- 1:23:19Speaker 7: comes here? Lorenzo and his infidel What and my old
- 1:23:23Speaker 7: Venetian friend Solonio.
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: Enter Lorenzo, Jessica and Selanio.
- 1:23:29Speaker 5: Lorenzo and Solanio welcome hither. If that the youth of
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: my new interest here have power to bid you welcome,
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: by your leave, I bid my very friends and countrymans,
- 1:23:40Speaker 5: we poor shoe welcome.
- 1:23:41Speaker 10: So do I, my lord. They are entirely welcome.
- 1:23:45Speaker 6: I thank your honor for my part, my Lord. My
- 1:23:48Speaker 6: purpose was not to have seen you here, but meeting
- 1:23:52Speaker 6: with Solanio, by the way he did entreat me past
- 1:23:56Speaker 6: all saying nay to come with him along?
- 1:23:59Speaker 4: I did, my Lord, and I have reason for it.
- 1:24:02Speaker 4: Signor Antonio commends him to you.
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: Gives Barsanio a letter.
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: Ere I ope his letter. I pray you tell me
- 1:24:10Speaker 5: how my good friend doth.
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind, nor well,
- 1:24:15Speaker 4: unless in mind his letter there will show you his estate.
- 1:24:18Speaker 7: Nourissa cheer Yon Stranger, bid her welcome your hands. Solanio.
- 1:24:23Speaker 7: What's the news from Venice? How doth that royal merchant
- 1:24:27Speaker 7: good Antonio, I know he will be glad of our success.
- 1:24:31Speaker 7: We are the Jason's. We have won the fleece.
- 1:24:33Speaker 4: I would you had won the fleece that he hath lost.
- 1:24:36Speaker 10: There are some shrewd contents in yon same paper that
- 1:24:40Speaker 10: steal the color from Bassanio's cheek, some dear friend dead else,
- 1:24:45Speaker 10: nothing in the world could turn so much the constitution
- 1:24:48Speaker 10: of any constant man.
- 1:24:49Speaker 11: What worse and worse?
- 1:24:51Speaker 10: With leave Bissanio, I am half yourself, and I must
- 1:24:55Speaker 10: freely have the half of anything that this same paper
- 1:24:58Speaker 10: brings you.
- 1:24:59Speaker 5: Oh sweet Portia, here are a few of the unpleasantest
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: words that ever blotted paper. Gentle lady, when I did
- 1:25:08Speaker 5: first impart my love to you, I freely told you
- 1:25:11Speaker 5: all the wealth I had ran in my veins. I
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: was a gentleman, and then I told you true. And yet,
- 1:25:18Speaker 5: dear lady, rating myself at nothing, you shall see how
- 1:25:22Speaker 5: much I was a braggart. When I told you my
- 1:25:25Speaker 5: state was nothing, I should then have told you that
- 1:25:28Speaker 5: I was worse than nothing. For indeed, I've engaged myself
- 1:25:32Speaker 5: to a dear friend, engaged my friend to his mere enemy,
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: to feed my means. Here is a letter lady, the
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: paper as the body of my friend, and every word
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: in it a gaping wound issuing life blood. But is
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: it true, Scelario, have all his ventures failed?
- 1:25:52Speaker 7: What?
- 1:25:53Speaker 5: Not one hit from Tripolis, from Mexico and England, from Lisbon,
- 1:25:59Speaker 5: Barbary and India, And not one vessel scaped the dreadful
- 1:26:04Speaker 5: touch of merchant marring Rocks, Not one, my Lord.
- 1:26:08Speaker 4: Besides, it should appear that if he had the present
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: money to discharge the Jew, he would not take it.
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: Never did I know a creature that did bear the
- 1:26:15Speaker 4: shape of man so keen and greedy to confound a
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: man He plies the Duke at morning and at night,
- 1:26:22Speaker 4: and doth impeach the freedom of the state if they
- 1:26:24Speaker 4: deny him justice. Twenty merchants of the Duke himself and
- 1:26:28Speaker 4: the Magnificoce of greatest Port have all persuaded with him,
- 1:26:31Speaker 4: but none can drive him from the envious plea of
- 1:26:33Speaker 4: forfeiture of justice and his bond.
- 1:26:36Speaker 16: When I was with him, I have heard him swear
- 1:26:39Speaker 16: to tibble and to choose his countrymen, that he would
- 1:26:42Speaker 16: rather have Antonio's flesh than twenty times the value of
- 1:26:46Speaker 16: the sum that he did owe him, and I know,
- 1:26:49Speaker 16: my Lord, if law, authority and power deny not, it
- 1:26:54Speaker 16: will go hard with poor Antonio.
- 1:26:56Speaker 19: Is it your dear friend that is thus in trouble,
- 1:26:59Speaker 19: the dearest friend to me, the kindest man, the best
- 1:27:02Speaker 19: conditioned and unwearied spirit in doing courtesies, and one in
- 1:27:07Speaker 19: whom the ancient Roman honor more appears than any that
- 1:27:10Speaker 19: draws breath in Italy?
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: What summ o's he the jew for me three thousand ducats?
- 1:27:15Speaker 10: What no more? Pay him six thousand, and to face
- 1:27:19Speaker 10: the bond double six thousand, and then trouble that before
- 1:27:23Speaker 10: a friend of this description shall lose a hair through
- 1:27:25Speaker 10: Bassanio's fault. First go with me to church and call
- 1:27:29Speaker 10: me wife, and then away to Venice to your friend,
- 1:27:32Speaker 10: For never shall you lie by Porsche's side with an
- 1:27:35Speaker 10: unquiet soul. You shall have gold to pay the petty
- 1:27:38Speaker 10: debt twenty times over when it is paid. Bring your
- 1:27:41Speaker 10: true friend along, my maid Nerissa and myself meantime will
- 1:27:45Speaker 10: live as maids and widows. Come away for you shall, hence,
- 1:27:50Speaker 10: upon your wedding day, bid your friends welcome, show a
- 1:27:53Speaker 10: married cheer. Since you are dear bot, I will love you, dear,
- 1:27:57Speaker 10: But let me hear the letter of your friend.
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: Sweet eat Bassanio. My ships have all miscarried, My creditors
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: grow cruel, My estate is very low. My bond the
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: Jew is forfeit, and since in paying it it is
- 1:28:13Speaker 5: impossible I should live. All debts are cleared between you
- 1:28:17Speaker 5: and I if I might, but see you at my death,
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: notwithstanding use your pleasure. If your love do not persuade
- 1:28:26Speaker 5: you to come, Let not my letter.
- 1:28:29Speaker 10: Oh love, dispatch all business and be gone.
- 1:28:32Speaker 5: Since I have your good leave to go away, I
- 1:28:34Speaker 5: will make haste. But till I come again, no bed
- 1:28:38Speaker 5: shall eer be guilty of my stay. No rest be

- 1:28:44Speaker 1: Excellent scene three venice a street enter Shylock Sala Reno,
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: Antonio and jailer.
- 1:28:56Speaker 8: Jailer look to him, Tell me not of mercy. This
- 1:29:00Speaker 8: is the fool that lent out money. Gratis Jailah look
- 1:29:04Speaker 8: to him.
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: Hear me, yet, good, Shylac, I'll have my bond.
- 1:29:08Speaker 8: Speak not against my bond. I have sworn an oath
- 1:29:11Speaker 8: that I will have my bond. Thou call'st me dog
- 1:29:15Speaker 8: before thou hadst a cause. But since I am a dog,
- 1:29:19Speaker 8: but were my fangs the Duke shall grant me justice.
- 1:29:23Speaker 8: I do wonder thou, naughty Jaila, that thou art so
- 1:29:25Speaker 8: fond to come abroad with him at his request.
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: I pray THEE hear me speak, I'll.
- 1:29:31Speaker 8: Have my bond. I'll not hear THEE speak. I'll have
- 1:29:34Speaker 8: my bond, and therefore speak no more. I'll not be
- 1:29:37Speaker 8: made a soft and dull eyed fool to shake the head,
- 1:29:41Speaker 8: relent and sigh and yield to Christian intercessors. Follow not.
- 1:29:46Speaker 8: I'll have no speaking. I will have my bond.
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: Exit.
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: It is the most impenetrable cur that ever kept with men.
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Let him alone. I'll follow him no more with bootless prayers.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: He seeks my life his reason well, I know I
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: oft delivered from his forfeitures many that have at times
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: made moan to me. Therefore he hates me.
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: I am sure the Duke will never grant this forfeiture
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: to hold.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: The Duke cannot deny the course of law for the
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: commodity that strangers have with us in venice. If it
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: be denied to much impeach the justice of the state,
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: Since that the trade and profit of the city consisteth
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: of all nations. Therefore go these griefs and losses have
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: so baited me that I shall hardly spare a pound
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: of flesh tomorrow to my bloody creditor.
- 1:30:41Speaker 8: Well Gowler On.
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: Pray God Bassanio come to see me pay his debt,
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: and then I care not excillent.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: Scene four Belmont, a room in Porsche's house. Enter Portia, Nerisa, Lorenzo,
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: Jessica and Balthasar.
- 1:31:05Speaker 6: Madam. Although I speak it in your presence, you have
- 1:31:09Speaker 6: a noble and a true conceit of godlike amity, which
- 1:31:13Speaker 6: appears most strongly in bearing thus the absence of your lord.
- 1:31:18Speaker 6: But if you knew to whom you show this honor,
- 1:31:21Speaker 6: how true a gentleman you send relief, how dear a
- 1:31:25Speaker 6: lover of my Lord your husband, I know you would
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: be prouder of the work than customary bounty can enforce you.
- 1:31:32Speaker 10: I never did repent for doing good, nor shall not now.
- 1:31:36Speaker 10: For in companions that do converse and waste the time together,
- 1:31:40Speaker 10: whose souls do bear an equal yoke of love, there
- 1:31:43Speaker 10: must be needs a like proportion of lineaments, of manners
- 1:31:46Speaker 10: and of spirit, which makes me think that this Antonio,
- 1:31:49Speaker 10: being the bosom lover of my Lord, must needs be
- 1:31:52Speaker 10: like my Lord. If it be so, how little is
- 1:31:56Speaker 10: the cost I have bestowed in purchasing the semblance of
- 1:31:58Speaker 10: my soul from our the state of hellish cruelty. This
- 1:32:02Speaker 10: comes too near the praising of myself. Therefore know more
- 1:32:05Speaker 10: of it. Hear other things, Lorenzo, I commit into your
- 1:32:09Speaker 10: hands the husbandry and manage of my house until my
- 1:32:12Speaker 10: Lord's return. For mine own part, I have toward Heaven
- 1:32:16Speaker 10: breathed a secret vow to live in prayer and contemplation
- 1:32:19Speaker 10: only attended by Nourissa here until her husband and my
- 1:32:23Speaker 10: Lord's return. There is a monastery two miles off, and
- 1:32:27Speaker 10: there we will abide. I do desire you not to
- 1:32:30Speaker 10: deny this imposition, the which my love and some necessity
- 1:32:33Speaker 10: now lays upon.
- 1:32:34Speaker 6: You, Madam, with all my heart, I shall obey you
- 1:32:38Speaker 6: in all fair commands.
- 1:32:40Speaker 10: My people do already know my mind, and will acknowledge
- 1:32:43Speaker 10: you and Jessica in place of Lord Bassanio and myself.
- 1:32:47Speaker 10: So fare you well till we shall meet again.
- 1:32:49Speaker 6: Fair thoughts and happy hours attend on you.
- 1:32:52Speaker 16: I wish your ladyship all hearts content.
- 1:32:55Speaker 10: I thank you for your wish, and am well pleased
- 1:32:58Speaker 10: to wish it back on you.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: Fair well, Jessica, excellent Jessica, and Lorenzo.
- 1:33:04Speaker 10: Now Balthazar, as I have ever found THEE honest true,
- 1:33:08Speaker 10: so let me find THEE. Still, take this same letter
- 1:33:12Speaker 10: and use thou all the endeavor of a man in
- 1:33:14Speaker 10: speed to Padua. See thou render this into my cousin's hands,
- 1:33:18Speaker 10: doctor Bellario, And look what notes and garments he doth
- 1:33:21Speaker 10: give THEE. Bring them. I pray THEE with imagined speed,
- 1:33:24Speaker 10: unto the traject to the common fairy which trades to venice.
- 1:33:28Speaker 10: Waste no time in words, but get THEE gone. I
- 1:33:31Speaker 10: shall be there before THEE.
- 1:33:32Speaker 8: Madam. I go with all convenient speed.
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: Exit.
- 1:33:36Speaker 10: Come on, Nerissa, I have work in hand that you
- 1:33:38Speaker 10: yet know not of. We'll see our husbands before they
- 1:33:41Speaker 10: think of us. Shall they see us, They shall, Nerissa,
- 1:33:45Speaker 10: but in such a habit that they shall think we
- 1:33:47Speaker 10: are accomplished with that we lack. I'll hold THEE any
- 1:33:50Speaker 10: wager when we are both accoutred like young men, I'll
- 1:33:54Speaker 10: prove the prettier fellow of the two, and wear my
- 1:33:56Speaker 10: dagger with the braver grace, and speak between the chain
- 1:34:00Speaker 10: of man and boy with a reed voice, and turn
- 1:34:02Speaker 10: two mincing steps into a manly stride, and speak a
- 1:34:06Speaker 10: phrase like a fine bragging youth, and tell quaint lies
- 1:34:10Speaker 10: how honorable ladies sought my love, which I denying. They
- 1:34:13Speaker 10: fell sick and died I could not do withal. Then
- 1:34:17Speaker 10: I'll repent and wish for all that that I had
- 1:34:19Speaker 10: not killed them. And twenty of these puny lies I'll
- 1:34:22Speaker 10: tell that. Men shall swear I have discontinued school about
- 1:34:25Speaker 10: a twelvemonth. I have within my mind a thousand raw
- 1:34:29Speaker 10: tricks of these bragging jacks, which I will practice.
- 1:34:32Speaker 11: Why so attend to men, fie.
- 1:34:34Speaker 10: What a question's that? If thou wert near a lewd interpreter.
- 1:34:38Speaker 10: But come, I'll tell thee all my whole device when
- 1:34:41Speaker 10: I am in my coach, which stays for us at
- 1:34:43Speaker 10: the park gate. And therefore haste away, for we must
- 1:34:46Speaker 10: measure twenty miles to day.
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: Excellent scene five the same a garden. Enter Launcelot and Jessica.
- 1:34:58Speaker 14: Yes, truly, for look you, the sins of the father
- 1:35:03Speaker 14: are to be laid upon the children. Therefore, I promise you,
- 1:35:08Speaker 14: I fear you, and I was always plain with you,
- 1:35:12Speaker 14: And so now I speak my agitation of the matter. Therefore,
- 1:35:16Speaker 14: be good of cheer. For truly, I think you are damned.
- 1:35:21Speaker 14: There is but one hope in it that can do
- 1:35:23Speaker 14: you any good, and that is but a kind of
- 1:35:25Speaker 14: bastard hope.
- 1:35:26Speaker 16: Neither and what hope is that I pray thee Mary.
- 1:35:30Speaker 14: You may partly hope that your father got you, not
- 1:35:33Speaker 14: that you are not the Jew's daughter.
- 1:35:35Speaker 16: That were a kind of bastard hope. Indeed, so the
- 1:35:38Speaker 16: sins of my mother should be visited upon me.
- 1:35:41Speaker 14: Truly, then I fear you are damned both by father
- 1:35:44Speaker 14: and mother. Thus, when I shun Skyla your father, I
- 1:35:48Speaker 14: fall into carry this your mother. Well you are gone
- 1:35:52Speaker 14: both ways.
- 1:35:53Speaker 16: I shall be saved by my husband. He hath made
- 1:35:56Speaker 16: me a Christian.
- 1:35:57Speaker 14: Truly, the more to blame he. We were Christians, and
- 1:36:01Speaker 14: now before Ian as many as could well live, one
- 1:36:04Speaker 14: by another. This making of Christians will raise the price
- 1:36:08Speaker 14: of hogs. If we grow all to be pork eaters,
- 1:36:11Speaker 14: we shall not shortly have a rasher on the coals
- 1:36:14Speaker 14: for money.
- 1:36:15Speaker 16: I'll tell my husband Lncelot, what you say here he comes.
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: Enter Lorenzo.
- 1:36:22Speaker 6: I shall grow jealous of you shortly, Lncelot, If you
- 1:36:25Speaker 6: thus get my wife into corners.
- 1:36:28Speaker 16: Nay, you need not fear us. Lorenzo Launcelot and I
- 1:36:32Speaker 16: are out. He tells me flatly, there's no mercy for
- 1:36:35Speaker 16: me in heaven because I am a Jew's daughter. And
- 1:36:38Speaker 16: he says you are no good member of the commonwealth,
- 1:36:41Speaker 16: for in converting Jews to Christians, you raise the price
- 1:36:44Speaker 16: of pork.
- 1:36:45Speaker 6: I shall answer that better to the commonwealth than you
- 1:36:49Speaker 6: can the getting up of the nigro's belly. The more
- 1:36:53Speaker 6: is with child by you, Lncelot.
- 1:36:56Speaker 14: It is much that the more should be more than reason.
- 1:36:59Speaker 14: But if she be less than an honest woman, she
- 1:37:02Speaker 14: is indeed more than I took her.
- 1:37:04Speaker 6: For how every fool can play upon the word? I
- 1:37:09Speaker 6: think the best grace of wit will shortly turn into silence,
- 1:37:13Speaker 6: and discourse grow commendable in none only but parents go in, Sarah,
- 1:37:19Speaker 6: bid them prepare for dinner that.
- 1:37:22Speaker 14: Is done, Sir, they have all stomachs.
- 1:37:25Speaker 6: Goodly, Lord, what a wit snapper are you? Then bid
- 1:37:29Speaker 6: them prepare dinner.
- 1:37:30Speaker 14: That is done too? Sa? Only cover is the word?
- 1:37:33Speaker 6: Will you cover?
- 1:37:34Speaker 8: Then, sir?
- 1:37:36Speaker 14: Not so? Sa? Neither I know my duty yet more?
- 1:37:40Speaker 6: Quarreling with occasion, wilt thou show the whole wealth of
- 1:37:44Speaker 6: thy wit in an instant, I pray thee understand a
- 1:37:48Speaker 6: plain man in his plain meaning, go to thy fellows,
- 1:37:52Speaker 6: bid them cover the table, serve in the meat, and
- 1:37:56Speaker 6: we will come in to dinner.
- 1:37:58Speaker 14: For the table, sa, it shall be so in for
- 1:38:00Speaker 14: the metsa, it should be covered for your coming in
- 1:38:04Speaker 14: to dinner, sir. Why let it be as humors and
- 1:38:08Speaker 14: conceits shall govern exit.
- 1:38:10Speaker 6: Oh, dear discretion, how his words are suited. The fool
- 1:38:14Speaker 6: hath planted in his memory an army of good words.
- 1:38:18Speaker 6: And I do know a many fools that stand in
- 1:38:22Speaker 6: better place, garnished like him, that for a tricksy word
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: defy the matter. How cheerest thou, Jessica, And now, good
- 1:38:31Speaker 6: sweet say thy opinion, How dost thou like the Lord
- 1:38:35Speaker 6: Bassanio's wife.
- 1:38:37Speaker 16: Past all expressing it is very meet the Lord Bissanio
- 1:38:41Speaker 16: live an upright life for having such a blessing in
- 1:38:44Speaker 16: his lady. He finds the joys of heaven here on earth.
- 1:38:48Speaker 16: And if on earth he do not merit it, in reason,
- 1:38:51Speaker 16: he should never come to heaven. Why if two gods
- 1:38:55Speaker 16: should play some heavenly match, and on the wager lay
- 1:38:58Speaker 16: two earthly women, and poor Rusia one, there must be
- 1:39:01Speaker 16: something else pawned with the other. For the poor rude world.
- 1:39:06Speaker 16: Hath not her fellow.
- 1:39:07Speaker 6: Even such a husband. Hast thou of me as she
- 1:39:11Speaker 6: is for a wife?
- 1:39:12Speaker 16: Nay, but ask my opinion too of that.
- 1:39:16Speaker 6: I will anon. First, Let us go to dinner.
- 1:39:19Speaker 16: Nay, let me praise you while I have a stomach.
- 1:39:22Speaker 6: No pray thee. Let it serve for table talk. Then,
- 1:39:26Speaker 6: how sooe'er thou speakest among other things? I shall digest
- 1:39:31Speaker 6: it well.
- 1:39:32Speaker 16: I'll set you forth excellent.
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: End of Act three, Act four, Scene one, venice. A
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: court of justice, enter the Duke, the magnificos Antonio, Bassanio, Gratiano, Salarino, Salanio,
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: and others.
- 1:39:57Speaker 20: What isn't on you here?
- 1:39:59Speaker 8: Ready?
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: So please your Grace?
- 1:40:02Speaker 20: I am sorry for thee. Thou art come to answer
- 1:40:05Speaker 20: a stony adversary and in human wretch, uncapable of pity,
- 1:40:10Speaker 20: void and empty from any dream of mercy.
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: I have heard your Grace has taken great pains to
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: qualify his rigorous course. But since he stands obdurate, and
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: that no lawful means can carry me out of his
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: envy's reach, I do oppose my patience to his fury.
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: And am armed to suffer with a quietness of spirit
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: the very tyranny and rage of his Go one and
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: call the Jew into the court.
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: He is ready at the door.
- 1:40:41Speaker 6: He comes, my Lord, enter.
- 1:40:43Speaker 20: Shylac, make room, and let him stand before our face.
- 1:40:48Speaker 8: Shylock.
- 1:40:49Speaker 20: The world thinks, and I think so too, that thou
- 1:40:53Speaker 20: but leadest this fashion of thy malice to the last
- 1:40:58Speaker 20: hour of act. And then tis thought thou'lt show thy
- 1:41:02Speaker 20: mercy and remorse more strange there is thy strange apparent cruelty.
- 1:41:09Speaker 20: And where thou now exact the penalty which the pound
- 1:41:13Speaker 20: of this poor merchant's flush, thou wilt not only lose
- 1:41:18Speaker 20: the forfeiture, but touch'd with human gentleness and love forgiven
- 1:41:23Speaker 20: moiety of the principle glance in an eye of pity
- 1:41:27Speaker 20: of his losses, have of late, so huddled on his back,
- 1:41:32Speaker 20: enow to press a royal merchant down and black commiseration
- 1:41:37Speaker 20: of his state for brassy bosoms and rough hearts of
- 1:41:41Speaker 20: flint from stubborn turrets and tartars, never train'd to offices
- 1:41:47Speaker 20: of tender courtesy. We all expect a gentle answer, Jew,
- 1:41:53Speaker 20: I have possessed.
- 1:41:54Speaker 8: Your grace of what I purpose and by our holy
- 1:41:58Speaker 8: Sabbath have I sworn to have the due and forfeit
- 1:42:00Speaker 8: of my bond. If you deny it, let the danger
- 1:42:05Speaker 8: light upon your charter and your city's freedom. You'll ask
- 1:42:10Speaker 8: me why I rather choose to have a weight of
- 1:42:12Speaker 8: carrying flesh than to receive three thousand dockets. I'll not
- 1:42:16Speaker 8: answer that, but say it is my humor? Is it answered?
- 1:42:22Speaker 8: What if my house be troubled with a rat, and
- 1:42:25Speaker 8: I be pleased to give ten thousand dockets to have
- 1:42:27Speaker 8: it paint? What are you answered? Yet? Some men there
- 1:42:31Speaker 8: are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad
- 1:42:34Speaker 8: if they behold a cat, And others when the bagpipe sings,
- 1:42:38Speaker 8: the nose cannot contain their urine. For affection, mistress of passion,
- 1:42:44Speaker 8: sways it to the mood of what it likes or lows.
- 1:42:47Speaker 8: Now for your answer, as there is no firm reason
- 1:42:52Speaker 8: to be rendered. Why he cannot abide a gaping pig?
- 1:42:55Speaker 8: Why he a harmless necessary cat? Why he a walling bagpipe?
- 1:43:00Speaker 8: But a force must yield to such inevitable shame as
- 1:43:03Speaker 8: to offend himself being offended? So can I give no reason?
- 1:43:09Speaker 8: Nor will I not more than a lodged hate and
- 1:43:14Speaker 8: a certain loathing. I bear Antonio that I follow thus
- 1:43:18Speaker 8: a losing suit against him. Are you answered?
- 1:43:22Speaker 5: This is no answer, thou, unfeeling man, to excuse the
- 1:43:26Speaker 5: current of thy cruelty.
- 1:43:28Speaker 8: I am not bound to please thee with my answer.
- 1:43:32Speaker 5: Do all men kill the things they do not?
- 1:43:35Speaker 7: Love?
- 1:43:36Speaker 8: Hates any man the thing he would not kill?
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: Every offense is not a hate at first?
- 1:43:42Speaker 8: What wouldst thou have a serpent sting me twice?
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: I pray you think you question with the Jew? You
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: may as well go stand upon the beach and bid
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: the main flood bait his usual height. You may as
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: well use question with the wolf why he hath made
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: the ewe bleat for the land. You may as well
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: forbid the mountain pines to wag their high tops and
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: to make no noise when they are fretting with the
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: gusts of heaven. May as well do anything most hard
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: as to seek to soften that than which what's harder
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: his Jewish heart. Therefore, I do beseech you make no
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: more offers, use no farther means. But with all brief
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: and plain conveniency, let me have judgment, and the Jew
- 1:44:32Speaker 2: his will for.
- 1:44:33Speaker 5: Thy three thousand ducats here is six.
- 1:44:36Speaker 8: If every ducket in six thousand duckets were in six parts,
- 1:44:41Speaker 8: and every part a ducket, I would not draw them.
- 1:44:44Speaker 8: I would have my bond.
- 1:44:47Speaker 20: How shalt thou hope for mercy, rendering none?
- 1:44:50Speaker 8: What judgment? Shall I dread? Doing no wrong? You have
- 1:44:56Speaker 8: among you many a purchased slave, which, like your asses
- 1:45:00Speaker 8: and your dogs and mules, you use in abject and
- 1:45:03Speaker 8: in slavish parts, because you bought them. Shall I say
- 1:45:08Speaker 8: to you? Let them be free, marry them to your heirs?
- 1:45:13Speaker 8: Why sweat they under burdens? Let their beds be made
- 1:45:17Speaker 8: as soft as yours, and let their palates be seasoned
- 1:45:20Speaker 8: with such viands. You will answer, the slaves are ours.
- 1:45:27Speaker 8: So do I answer you. The pound of flesh which
- 1:45:33Speaker 8: I demand of him is dearly bought, tis mine, and
- 1:45:41Speaker 8: I will have it. If you deny me, fly upon
- 1:45:46Speaker 8: your law. There is no force in the decrees of venice.
- 1:45:51Speaker 8: I stand for judgment. Answer Shall I have it?
- 1:45:54Speaker 20: Upon my power? I may dismiss discord unless Belarrio learned, doctor,
- 1:46:01Speaker 20: whom I have sent for to determine this, come here today,
- 1:46:06Speaker 20: my lord.
- 1:46:07Speaker 3: Here stays without a messenger with letters from the doctor.
- 1:46:10Speaker 3: You come from Padua.
- 1:46:11Speaker 20: Bring us the letters call the messenger.
- 1:46:14Speaker 5: Good cheer, Antonio, what man courage? Yet the Jews shall
- 1:46:19Speaker 5: have my flesh, blood, bones, and all ere thou shalt
- 1:46:22Speaker 5: lose for me one drop of blood.
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: I am a tainted weather of the flock, meetest for death.
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: The weakest kind of fruit drops earliest to the ground.
- 1:46:34Speaker 8: And so let me.
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: You cannot better be employed, Massanio, than to live still
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: and write mine epitaph.
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: Enter Nearissa, dressed like a lawyer's clerk.
- 1:46:47Speaker 20: Came you from Padua, from Bellario.
- 1:46:50Speaker 11: From both My Lord Lario grids your grace.
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: Present a letter.
- 1:46:55Speaker 5: Why dost thou wet thy knife so earnestly.
- 1:46:59Speaker 8: To cut the forfeiture from that bankrupt there not on
- 1:47:03Speaker 8: thy soul, but on thy soul harsh jew Thou makest
- 1:47:07Speaker 8: thy knife keen but no metal, can no not the
- 1:47:10Speaker 8: hangman's axe bear half the keenness of thy sharp envy.
- 1:47:14Speaker 7: Can no prayers pierce thee.
- 1:47:16Speaker 8: No none that thou hast wit enough to make.
- 1:47:19Speaker 7: Oh be thou damned inexecrable dog, And for thy life
- 1:47:24Speaker 7: let justice be accused. Thou almost makest me waver in
- 1:47:27Speaker 7: my faith to hold opinion with Pythagoras, that souls of
- 1:47:31Speaker 7: animals infuse themselves into the trunks of men. Thy courish
- 1:47:35Speaker 7: spirit governed a wolf who hanged for human slaughter. Even
- 1:47:39Speaker 7: from the gallows, did his fell soul fleet, And whilst
- 1:47:43Speaker 7: thou layce in thy unhallowed dam infused itself in thee.
- 1:47:47Speaker 7: For thy desires are wolfish, bloody, starved, and ravenous.
- 1:47:52Speaker 8: Till thou canst rail the seal from off my bond,
- 1:47:55Speaker 8: Thou but offense thy lungs to speak so loud repair
- 1:47:59Speaker 8: thy wit, could you? It will fall to cureless ruin.
- 1:48:03Speaker 8: I stand here for law.
- 1:48:05Speaker 20: This letter from Bellario doth command a young, unlearned doctor
- 1:48:09Speaker 20: to our courts. Where is he?
- 1:48:12Speaker 11: He attended here hard by to now you answer, but
- 1:48:14Speaker 11: they all meet him.
- 1:48:15Speaker 20: With all my heart. Some three or four of you
- 1:48:19Speaker 20: go give him courteous conduct to this place. Meantime the
- 1:48:24Speaker 20: court shall hear Bellario's letter.
- 1:48:26Speaker 21: Your grace shall understand that at the receipt of your letter,
- 1:48:30Speaker 21: I am very sick. But in the instant that your
- 1:48:33Speaker 21: messenger came in loving visitation, was with me a young
- 1:48:38Speaker 21: doctor of Rome. His name is bothasar I acquainted him
- 1:48:43Speaker 21: with the cause and controversy between the Jew and Antonio.
- 1:48:47Speaker 21: The merchant, we turned o'er many books together. He is
- 1:48:52Speaker 21: furnished with my opinion, which bettered with his own learning.
- 1:48:57Speaker 21: The greatness whereof I cannot enough command, and comes with
- 1:49:01Speaker 21: him at my importunity to fill up your grace's request.
- 1:49:05Speaker 21: In my stead, I beseech you let his luck of
- 1:49:09Speaker 21: years be no impediment, to let him lack a reverent estimation.
- 1:49:15Speaker 21: For I never knew so young a body with so
- 1:49:17Speaker 21: old a head. I leave him to your gracious acceptance.
- 1:49:22Speaker 21: Whose trial shall better publish his commendation.
- 1:49:25Speaker 20: You hear the learned Bellario what he writes, and here
- 1:49:30Speaker 20: I take it is a doctor.
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: Come enter Portia, dressed like a doctor of laws.
- 1:49:36Speaker 20: You are welcome, take your place. Are you acquainted with
- 1:49:41Speaker 20: the difference that holds this present question in the court?
- 1:49:45Speaker 10: I am informant truly of the cause, which is the
- 1:49:49Speaker 10: merchant here and which.
- 1:49:50Speaker 20: The Jew, Antonio and old Shylock both sand Force is
- 1:49:55Speaker 20: your name.
- 1:49:55Speaker 8: Shylock, Shylock is my name of a.
- 1:49:59Speaker 10: S nature is the suit you follow? Yet in such
- 1:50:03Speaker 10: rule that the Venetian law cannot impugne you as you
- 1:50:05Speaker 10: do proceed to Antonio. You stand within his danger?
- 1:50:09Speaker 8: Do you not ay?
- 1:50:11Speaker 7: So?
- 1:50:11Speaker 12: He says, Do you confess the bond?
- 1:50:14Speaker 8: I do?
- 1:50:15Speaker 10: Then must the Jew be merciful?
- 1:50:17Speaker 8: On what compulsion? Must I tell me that the.
- 1:50:21Speaker 10: Quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the
- 1:50:25Speaker 10: gentle reign from heaven upon the place beneath. It is
- 1:50:29Speaker 10: twice blessed. It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes,
- 1:50:33Speaker 10: tis mightiest. In the mightiest it becomes the throned monarch,
- 1:50:37Speaker 10: better than his crown. His scepter shows the force of
- 1:50:40Speaker 10: temporal power, the attribute to awe and majesty, wherein doth
- 1:50:44Speaker 10: sit the dread and fear of kings. But mercy is
- 1:50:47Speaker 10: above this sceptred sway. It is enthroned in the hearts
- 1:50:51Speaker 10: of kings. It is an attribute to God himself and
- 1:50:55Speaker 10: earthly power. Doth then show likest gods when mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
- 1:51:02Speaker 10: though justice be thy plea, consider this, that in the
- 1:51:06Speaker 10: course of justice none of us should see salvation. We
- 1:51:09Speaker 10: do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach
- 1:51:13Speaker 10: us all to render the deeds of mercy. I have
- 1:51:16Speaker 10: spoke thus much to mitigate the justice of thy plea, which,
- 1:51:20Speaker 10: if thou follow this strict court of Venice, must needs
- 1:51:23Speaker 10: give sentence against the merchant.
- 1:51:25Speaker 8: There my deeds upon my head. I crave the law,
- 1:51:31Speaker 8: the penalty, and forfeit of my bond.
- 1:51:34Speaker 10: Is he not able to discharge the money?
- 1:51:36Speaker 8: Yes?
- 1:51:37Speaker 5: Here I tender it for him in the court, yea
- 1:51:40Speaker 5: twice the sum. If that will not suffice, I will
- 1:51:44Speaker 5: be bound to pay it ten times, or on forfeit
- 1:51:47Speaker 5: of my hands, my head, my heart. If this will
- 1:51:51Speaker 5: not suffice, it must appear that malice bears down truth.
- 1:51:56Speaker 5: And I beseech you rest once the law to your
- 1:51:59Speaker 5: author Artie, to do a great right, do a little wrong,
- 1:52:03Speaker 5: and curb this cruel devil of his will.
- 1:52:07Speaker 10: It must not be. There is no power in venice
- 1:52:10Speaker 10: can alter a decree. Establish it twill be recorded for
- 1:52:13Speaker 10: a precedent, and many an error by the same example
- 1:52:16Speaker 10: will rush into this state. It cannot be.
- 1:52:19Speaker 8: Ah Daniel, come to judgment, yea a Daniel, Oh wise,
- 1:52:25Speaker 8: young judge, how I do honor thee I pray you?
- 1:52:28Speaker 10: Let me look upon the bond.
- 1:52:30Speaker 8: Here tis most reverend doctor. Here it is Shylock.
- 1:52:34Speaker 10: There's thrice thy money.
- 1:52:36Speaker 8: Offered thee an oath, an oath, I have an oath
- 1:52:41Speaker 8: in heaven. Shall I lay perjury upon my soul? No,
- 1:52:47Speaker 8: not for venice.
- 1:52:48Speaker 10: Why this bond is forfeit, and lawfully by this the
- 1:52:52Speaker 10: jew may claim a pound of flesh to be by
- 1:52:55Speaker 10: him cut off nearest the merchant's heart. Be merciful. Take
- 1:52:59Speaker 10: thrice thy money. Bid me tear the bond when it.
- 1:53:02Speaker 8: Is paid according to the tenor. It's doth appear you
- 1:53:06Speaker 8: are a worthy judge. You know the law. Your exposition
- 1:53:10Speaker 8: hath been most sound. I charge you by the law,
- 1:53:14Speaker 8: whereof you are a well deserving pillar. Proceed to judgment
- 1:53:18Speaker 8: by my soul. I swear there is no power in
- 1:53:21Speaker 8: the tongue of man to walter me. I stay here
- 1:53:23Speaker 8: upon my bond.
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: Most heartily, I do beseech the court to give the judgment.
- 1:53:28Speaker 10: Why then, thus it is you must prepare your bosom
- 1:53:32Speaker 10: for his knife.
- 1:53:33Speaker 8: No, noble judge, O, excellent young man, for the intent.
- 1:53:37Speaker 10: And purpose of the law, hath full relation to the
- 1:53:39Speaker 10: penalty which here appereth do upon the bond?
- 1:53:43Speaker 8: Tis very true, O, wise and upright judge. How much
- 1:53:46Speaker 8: more elder art thou than thy looks.
- 1:53:49Speaker 10: Therefore lay bare your bosom.
- 1:53:51Speaker 8: Aye his breast, so says the bond. Doth it not,
- 1:53:54Speaker 8: noble judge nearest his heart? Those are the very words
- 1:53:58Speaker 8: it is so.
- 1:54:00Speaker 10: Are there balance here to weigh the flesh?
- 1:54:02Speaker 8: I have them ready, have by some surgeon.
- 1:54:04Speaker 10: Shylock on your charge to stop his wounds lest he
- 1:54:07Speaker 10: do bleed to death?
- 1:54:08Speaker 8: Is it so nominated in the bond?
- 1:54:10Speaker 10: It is not so expressed. But what of that toware good?
- 1:54:13Speaker 10: You do so much for charity?
- 1:54:15Speaker 8: I cannot find It is not in the bond you, merchant.
- 1:54:19Speaker 10: Have you anything to say?
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: But little I am armed and well prepared. Give me
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: your hand besanio fare you well grieve not that I
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: am fallen to this for you, for herein fortune shows
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: herself more kind than is her custom. It is still
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: her use to let the wretched man outlive his wealth,
- 1:54:45Speaker 2: to view with hollow eye and wrinkled brow, an age
- 1:54:50Speaker 2: of poverty from which lingering penance of such misery does
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: she cut me off? Come to your honorable wife, Tell
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: her the process of Antonio's end. Say how I loved you?
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: Speak me fair in death, And when the tale is told,
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: bid her be judge whether Bassanio had not once a
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: love repent but you that you shall lose your friend.
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: And he repents not that he pays your debt. For
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: if the Jew do cut but deep enough, I'll pay
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: it instantly with all my heart.
- 1:55:38Speaker 5: Antonio, I am married to a wife, which is as
- 1:55:40Speaker 5: dear to me as life itself. But life itself, my
- 1:55:45Speaker 5: wife and all the world are not with me esteemed
- 1:55:48Speaker 5: above thy life. I would lose all ay, sacrifice them
- 1:55:52Speaker 5: all here to this devil to deliver you.
- 1:55:54Speaker 10: Your wife would give you little thanks for that if
- 1:55:57Speaker 10: she were by to hear you make the offer.
- 1:56:00Speaker 7: I have a wife whom I protest, I love. I
- 1:56:03Speaker 7: would she were in heaven so she could entreat some
- 1:56:07Speaker 7: power to change discouraged jew tis well.
- 1:56:10Speaker 11: You off it behind her back, which would else make
- 1:56:12Speaker 11: an inquiet house.
- 1:56:13Speaker 8: These be the Christian husbands. I have a daughter. Would
- 1:56:19Speaker 8: any of the stock of Barrabas had been her husband
- 1:56:21Speaker 8: rather than a Christian? We trifle time, I pray thee
- 1:56:25Speaker 8: pursue sentence.
- 1:56:26Speaker 10: A pound of that same merchant's flesh is thine. The
- 1:56:30Speaker 10: court awards it, and the law doth give it.
- 1:56:33Speaker 8: Most rightful judge, And you must.
- 1:56:35Speaker 10: Cut this flesh from off his breast. The law allows it,
- 1:56:38Speaker 10: and the court.
- 1:56:39Speaker 8: Awards it, most learned judge a sentence. Come, prepare tarry
- 1:56:44Speaker 8: a little.
- 1:56:45Speaker 10: There is something else. This bond doth give thee here
- 1:56:49Speaker 10: no jot of blood. The words expressly are a pound
- 1:56:53Speaker 10: of flesh. Take then thy bond. Take thou thy pound
- 1:56:58Speaker 10: of flesh. But in the cutting it, if thou dost
- 1:57:01Speaker 10: shed one drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods
- 1:57:05Speaker 10: are by the laws of Venice confiscate unto the state
- 1:57:08Speaker 10: of Venice.
- 1:57:09Speaker 7: Oh upright Judge Mark Jew, oh learned judge, is that
- 1:57:15Speaker 7: the law.
- 1:57:16Speaker 10: Thyself shalt see the act. For as thou urgest justice
- 1:57:20Speaker 10: be assured, thou shalt have justice more than thou desirest.
- 1:57:24Speaker 7: Oh learned Judge Mark Jew, a learned judge.
- 1:57:28Speaker 8: I take this offer, then pay the bond thrice, and
- 1:57:31Speaker 8: let the Christian go.
- 1:57:33Speaker 5: Here is the money soft.
- 1:57:35Speaker 10: The jew shall have all justice soft, no haste. He
- 1:57:38Speaker 10: shall have nothing but the.
- 1:57:40Speaker 7: Penalty, Oh Jew, an upright judge, a learned judge.
- 1:57:45Speaker 10: Therefore, prepare thee to cut off the flesh. Shed thou
- 1:57:48Speaker 10: no blood, nor cut thou less nor more, but just
- 1:57:52Speaker 10: a pound of flesh. If thou takest more or less
- 1:57:56Speaker 10: than a just pound, be it but so much as
- 1:57:59Speaker 10: makes light or heavy in the substance or the division
- 1:58:02Speaker 10: of the twentieth part of one poor scruple. Nay, if
- 1:58:06Speaker 10: the scale do turn, but in the estimation of a hair,
- 1:58:09Speaker 10: thou diest, and all thy goods are confiscate.
- 1:58:12Speaker 7: A second Daniel, A Daniel. Jew, now in fidel, I
- 1:58:17Speaker 7: have you on thy hip?
- 1:58:18Speaker 10: Why doth the Jew pause? Take thy forfeiture?
- 1:58:21Speaker 8: Give me my principle and let me go.
- 1:58:24Speaker 5: I have it ready for thee Here it is.
- 1:58:26Speaker 10: He hath refused it in the open court. He shall
- 1:58:29Speaker 10: have merely justice and his bond.
- 1:58:32Speaker 7: A Daniel Still, I say, a second Daniel, I thank
- 1:58:35Speaker 7: thee Jew for teaching me that word.
- 1:58:37Speaker 8: Shall I not have barely my principle?
- 1:58:40Speaker 10: Thou shalt have nothing but the forfeiture to be so
- 1:58:43Speaker 10: taken at thy peril?
- 1:58:44Speaker 8: Jew? Why then the devil give him good of it?
- 1:58:47Speaker 8: I'll stay no longer.
- 1:58:48Speaker 10: Question, tarry Jew. The law hath yet another hold on you.
- 1:58:53Speaker 10: It is enacted in the laws of Venice. If it
- 1:58:56Speaker 10: be proved against an alien that by direct or indie
- 1:59:00Speaker 10: direct attempts he seek the life of any citizen, the
- 1:59:03Speaker 10: part against the which he doth contrive shall seize one
- 1:59:05Speaker 10: half his goods. The other half comes to the privy
- 1:59:09Speaker 10: coffer of the state, And the offender's life lies in
- 1:59:12Speaker 10: the mercy of the Duke only against all other voice
- 1:59:16Speaker 10: in which predicament I say thou standest, for it appears
- 1:59:20Speaker 10: by manifest proceeding that indirectly and directly too, thou hast
- 1:59:24Speaker 10: contrived against the very life of the defendant, And thou
- 1:59:28Speaker 10: hast incurred the danger formerly by me rehearsed down. Therefore,
- 1:59:32Speaker 10: and beg mercy.
- 1:59:33Speaker 7: Of the Duke, beg that thou mayst have leave to
- 1:59:36Speaker 7: hang thyself. And yet thy wealth being forfeit to the state,
- 1:59:40Speaker 7: thou hast not left the value of a cord. Therefore
- 1:59:43Speaker 7: thou must be hanged at the state's charge, that thou.
- 1:59:47Speaker 20: Shalt see the difference of our spirits. I pardon thee
- 1:59:51Speaker 20: thy life, before thou askest for half thy wealth. It
- 1:59:56Speaker 20: is Antonius. The other half it comes to the general state,
- 2:00:02Speaker 20: which humbleness may drive unto a.
- 2:00:04Speaker 10: Fine ay for the state, not for Antonio.
- 2:00:08Speaker 8: They take my life, and all pardon not that you
- 2:00:13Speaker 8: take my house. When you do take the prop that
- 2:00:15Speaker 8: doth sustain my house? You take my life when you
- 2:00:18Speaker 8: to take the means whereby I live?
- 2:00:20Speaker 10: What mercy can you render him?
- 2:00:22Speaker 7: Antonio A halter grottis nothing else for God's sake.
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: So please my lord the Duke and all the court
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: to quit the fine for one half of his goods.
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: I am content, So he will let me have the
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: other half in use to render it upon his death.
- 2:00:40Speaker 2: Unto the gentleman that lately stole his daughter, two things
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: provided more, that for this favor he presently become a Christian.
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: The other that he do record a gift here in
- 2:00:55Speaker 2: the court of all he dies possessed unto his Sonnzo
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: and his daughter.
- 2:01:01Speaker 20: He shall do this or else I do recount the
- 2:01:05Speaker 20: pardon that I late pronounced.
- 2:01:07Speaker 10: Here art thou contented you? What dost thou say? I
- 2:01:11Speaker 10: am content, clerk, draw a deed of gift.
- 2:01:15Speaker 8: I pray you give me leave to go from hence
- 2:01:18Speaker 8: I am not well. Send the deed after me, and
- 2:01:21Speaker 8: I would assign it. Get thee gone, But do it
- 2:01:25Speaker 8: in christening.
- 2:01:26Speaker 7: Shalt thou have two godfathers? Had I been judged, thou
- 2:01:30Speaker 7: shouldst have had ten more to bring thee to the gallows,
- 2:01:34Speaker 7: not to the font.
- 2:01:35Speaker 20: Exit Shylock, Sir, I entreat you home with me to dinner.
- 2:01:40Speaker 10: I hardld you desire your grace of pardon. I must
- 2:01:43Speaker 10: away this night toward Padua, and it is meet I
- 2:01:45Speaker 10: presently set forth.
- 2:01:47Speaker 20: I am sorry that your leisure serves you. Not Antonio.
- 2:01:51Speaker 20: Gratify this gentleman, for in my mind you are much
- 2:01:56Speaker 20: bound to him.
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: Exit Duke Magnificant and.
- 2:02:01Speaker 5: Train most worthy gentlemen, I and my friend have, by
- 2:02:05Speaker 5: your wisdom been this day acquitted of grievous penalties in

- 2:02:25Speaker 10: delivering you, am satisfied. And therein do account myself well paid.
- 2:02:30Speaker 10: My mind was never yet more mercenary. I pray you
- 2:02:33Speaker 10: know me when we meet again. I wish you well,
- 2:02:36Speaker 10: and so I take my leave.
- 2:02:37Speaker 5: Dear Sir of force, I must attempt you further take
- 2:02:42Speaker 5: some remembrance of us as a tribute, not as a fee.
- 2:02:46Speaker 5: Grant me two things. I pray you not to deny
- 2:02:48Speaker 5: me and to pardon me.
- 2:02:50Speaker 10: You press me far, and therefore I will yield to Antonio.
- 2:02:55Speaker 10: Give me your gloves. I'll wear them for your sake,
- 2:02:57Speaker 10: to bassagnyo, and for your love. I'll take this ring
- 2:03:01Speaker 10: from you. Do not draw back your hand. I'll take
- 2:03:04Speaker 10: no more, and you, in love, shall not deny me
- 2:03:07Speaker 10: this this.
- 2:03:08Speaker 5: Ring, good sir, alas it is a trifle, I will
- 2:03:12Speaker 5: not shame myself to give you this.
- 2:03:15Speaker 10: I will have nothing else but only this, And now
- 2:03:18Speaker 10: methinks I have a mind to it.
- 2:03:20Speaker 5: There's more depends on this than on the value the
- 2:03:24Speaker 5: dearest ring in venice will I give you and find
- 2:03:27Speaker 5: it out by proclamation only for this I pray you
- 2:03:32Speaker 5: pardon me.
- 2:03:33Speaker 10: I see, sir, you are liberal in offers. You taught
- 2:03:36Speaker 10: me first to beg and now methinks you teach me
- 2:03:39Speaker 10: how a beggar should be answered.
- 2:03:41Speaker 5: Good sir, This ring was given me by my wife,
- 2:03:44Speaker 5: and when she put it on, she made me vow
- 2:03:46Speaker 5: that I should neither sell, nor give nor lose it.
- 2:03:49Speaker 10: That excuse serves many men to save their gifts. And
- 2:03:52Speaker 10: if your wife be not a mad woman, and know
- 2:03:55Speaker 10: how well I have deserved this ring. She would not
- 2:03:58Speaker 10: hold out enemy forever. Forgive it to me. Well, peace
- 2:04:01Speaker 10: be with.
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: You, ecciant Portia and Arissa.
- 2:04:05Speaker 2: My Lord Bassanio. Let him have the ring. Let his
- 2:04:09Speaker 2: deservings and my love withal be valued against your wife's commandment.
- 2:04:14Speaker 5: Go Graciano, run and overtake him. Give him the ring
- 2:04:18Speaker 5: and bring him. If thou canst unto Antonio's house.
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: Away, make haste exit Gratiano.

- 2:04:47Speaker 10: day before our husband's home. This deed will be well

- 2:05:26Speaker 10: swearing that they did give the rings away to men.

- 2:05:38Speaker 1: Excellent? End of Act four, Act five, Scene one, Belmont
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: the avenue to Porsche's home. Enter Lorenzo and Jessica.
- 2:05:55Speaker 6: The moon shines bright in such a night as this,
- 2:05:59Speaker 6: when the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees, and
- 2:06:03Speaker 6: they did make no noise. In such a night, Troilis Methinks,
- 2:06:07Speaker 6: mounted the troyon walls and sighed his soul toward the
- 2:06:11Speaker 6: Greci intense, where Crescid lay that night.
- 2:06:15Speaker 16: In such a night did thisby fearfully or trip the dew,
- 2:06:19Speaker 16: and saw the lion's shadow ere himself and ran dismayed away.
- 2:06:25Speaker 6: In such a night stood Dido with a willow in
- 2:06:28Speaker 6: her hand, upon the wild sea banks and waft her
- 2:06:32Speaker 6: love to come again to Carthage.
- 2:06:35Speaker 16: In such a night, Medea gathered the enchanted herbs, that
- 2:06:39Speaker 16: did renew old Eson.
- 2:06:42Speaker 6: In such a night did Jessica steele from the wealthy
- 2:06:45Speaker 6: jew and with an unthrift love did run from Venice
- 2:06:50Speaker 6: as far as Belmont.
- 2:06:52Speaker 16: In such a night did young Lorenzo swear he loved
- 2:06:56Speaker 16: her well, stealing her soul with many vows of faith,
- 2:07:00Speaker 16: and ne'er a true one.
- 2:07:02Speaker 6: In such a night did pretty Jessica, like a little shrew,
- 2:07:06Speaker 6: slander her love? And he forgave it her.
- 2:07:10Speaker 16: I would out night to you. Did nobody come but hark?
- 2:07:15Speaker 16: I hear the footing of a man, enter.
- 2:07:17Speaker 6: Stefano, who comes so fast in silence of the night.
- 2:07:21Speaker 6: A friend, A friend? What friend?
- 2:07:24Speaker 8: Your name?
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: I pray you, friend, Stefano is my name?
- 2:07:27Speaker 22: And I bring word my mistress, will, before the break
- 2:07:30Speaker 22: of day be here at Belmont. She doth stray about
- 2:07:33Speaker 22: by holy crosses, where she kneels and prays for happy
- 2:07:36Speaker 22: wedlock hours. Who comes with her none but a holy
- 2:07:40Speaker 22: hermit and her maid. I pray you, is my master
- 2:07:43Speaker 22: yet returned?
- 2:07:44Speaker 6: He is not, nor we have not heard from him.
- 2:07:48Speaker 8: But go in.
- 2:07:49Speaker 6: I pray thee Jessica, and ceremoniously, let us prepare some
- 2:07:53Speaker 6: welcome for the mistress of the house.
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: Enter launcelot Sola, Sola.
- 2:07:59Speaker 14: Woha, oh Sola, Sola? Who calls Sola? Did you see
- 2:08:04Speaker 14: Master Lorenzo, Master Lorenzo Sola? Sola?
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: Leave helloing man here, Sola, where where here?
- 2:08:13Speaker 14: Tell him there's a post come from my master with
- 2:08:15Speaker 14: his hornful of good news. My master will be here
- 2:08:17Speaker 14: here morning.
- 2:08:19Speaker 6: Exit, sweet soul, let's in and there expect they're coming.
- 2:08:24Speaker 6: And yet no matter, why should we go in? My
- 2:08:29Speaker 6: friend Stefano, signify, I pray you within the house. Your
- 2:08:32Speaker 6: mistress is at hand, and bring your music forth into
- 2:08:36Speaker 6: the air.
- 2:08:37Speaker 1: Exit stey Fano.
- 2:08:39Speaker 6: How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. Here we
- 2:08:43Speaker 6: will sit and let the sounds of music creep in
- 2:08:46Speaker 6: our ears soft stillness, and the night become the touches
- 2:08:50Speaker 6: of sweet harmony. Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of
- 2:08:55Speaker 6: heaven is thick inlaid with petens of bright gold. There's
- 2:08:59Speaker 6: not the smallest orb which thou beholdst, but in his
- 2:09:02Speaker 6: motion like an angel sings still quarrying to the young
- 2:09:07Speaker 6: eyed cherubims. Such harmony is in immortal souls. But whilst
- 2:09:12Speaker 6: this muddy vesture of decay doth grossly close it in,
- 2:09:17Speaker 6: we cannot hear it. Enter, musicians, come ho and wake
- 2:09:22Speaker 6: Diana with a hymn with sweetness. Touches, pierce your mistress's
- 2:09:28Speaker 6: ear and draw her home with music music.
- 2:09:32Speaker 16: I am never merry when I hear sweet music.
- 2:09:35Speaker 6: The reason is your spirits are attentive. For do not
- 2:09:39Speaker 6: note a wild and wanton herd, or race of youthful
- 2:09:43Speaker 6: and unhandled cults, fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
- 2:09:48Speaker 6: which is the hot condition of their blood. If they
- 2:09:52Speaker 6: but hear, perchance a trumpet sound, or any air of
- 2:09:56Speaker 6: music touch their ears, you shall perceive them make a
- 2:09:59Speaker 6: mutual stand, their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
- 2:10:04Speaker 6: by the sweet power of music. Therefore the poet did
- 2:10:09Speaker 6: fame that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods, since not
- 2:10:13Speaker 6: so stockish, hard and full of rage. But music, for
- 2:10:17Speaker 6: the time doth change his nature. The man that hath
- 2:10:21Speaker 6: no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord
- 2:10:25Speaker 6: of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils
- 2:10:32Speaker 6: the motions of his spirit are dull as night, and
- 2:10:35Speaker 6: his affections dark as erebus. Let no such man be trusted.
- 2:10:41Speaker 1: Mark the music, enter Portia and Nerissa at a distance.
- 2:10:47Speaker 10: That light we see is burning in my hall. How
- 2:10:50Speaker 10: far that little candle throws his beams, so shines a
- 2:10:53Speaker 10: good deed in a naughty world.
- 2:10:55Speaker 11: When the min shine we did not see the candle, So.
- 2:10:58Speaker 10: Doth the greater glory didn't the less a substitute shines
- 2:11:02Speaker 10: brightly as a king until a king be by, and
- 2:11:04Speaker 10: then his state empties itself as doth an inland brook
- 2:11:08Speaker 10: into the main of waters. Music, Hark, it.
- 2:11:11Speaker 11: Is your music, Madame of the house.
- 2:11:14Speaker 10: Nothing is good I see without respect. Methinks it sounds
- 2:11:17Speaker 10: much sweeter than by day.
- 2:11:19Speaker 11: Silence bestows that virtue on it. Madame.
- 2:11:21Speaker 10: The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark when
- 2:11:23Speaker 10: neither is attended. And I think the nightingale, if she
- 2:11:27Speaker 10: should sing by day, when every goose is cackling, would
- 2:11:30Speaker 10: be thought no better a musician than the wren. How
- 2:11:33Speaker 10: many things, by season seasoned are to their right praise
- 2:11:37Speaker 10: and true perfection. Peace ho the moon sleeps within demon
- 2:11:42Speaker 10: and would not be awaked.
- 2:11:44Speaker 6: Music ceases, that is the voice, or I am such
- 2:11:48Speaker 6: deceived of Portia.
- 2:11:50Speaker 10: He knows me as the blind man knows the cuckoo
- 2:11:52Speaker 10: by the bad voice.
- 2:11:54Speaker 6: Dear lady, welcome home.
- 2:11:56Speaker 10: We have been praying for our husband's welfare. Which speed
- 2:11:59Speaker 10: we hope the best for our words. Are they returned?
- 2:12:02Speaker 1: Madam?
- 2:12:03Speaker 6: They are not yet, but there has come a messenger
- 2:12:06Speaker 6: before to signify their coming.
- 2:12:08Speaker 10: Go in, Narissa, give order to my servants that they
- 2:12:11Speaker 10: take no note at all of our being absent. Hence,
- 2:12:14Speaker 10: nor you Lorenzo Jessica, nor you Hey tuckic.
- 2:12:18Speaker 6: Sounds your husband is at hand. I hear his trumpet.
- 2:12:22Speaker 6: We are no tell tales, Madame, fear you not.
- 2:12:25Speaker 10: This night methinks, is but the daylight's sick. It looks
- 2:12:28Speaker 10: a little paler tis a day such as the day
- 2:12:31Speaker 10: is when the sun is hid.
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: Enter Bassamio, Antonio Gracciano, and their followers.
- 2:12:38Speaker 5: We should hold day with the antipodes. If you would
- 2:12:41Speaker 5: walk in absence of the sun.
- 2:12:43Speaker 10: Let me give light, but let me not be light.
- 2:12:46Speaker 10: For a light wife doth make a heavy husband, and
- 2:12:49Speaker 10: never be Bassanio. So for me, but God soart all
- 2:12:52Speaker 10: you are Welcome home, my lord.
- 2:12:54Speaker 5: I thank you, madam, give welcome to my friend. This
- 2:12:58Speaker 5: is the man, this is Antone Neo, to whom I
- 2:13:01Speaker 5: am so infinitely bound.
- 2:13:03Speaker 10: You should, in all sense be much bound to him,
- 2:13:06Speaker 10: For as I hear, he was much.
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: Bound for you, no more than I am well acquitted
- 2:13:10Speaker 2: of sir.
- 2:13:11Speaker 10: You are very welcome to our house. It must appear
- 2:13:15Speaker 10: in other ways than words. Therefore I scant this breathing.
- 2:13:18Speaker 7: Courtesy to Neurissa by yonder Moon. I swear you do
- 2:13:22Speaker 7: me wrong in faith. I gave it to the judge's clerk.
- 2:13:26Speaker 7: Would he wear gelt that had it?
- 2:13:28Speaker 8: For my part?
- 2:13:29Speaker 7: Since you do take it? Love so much at heart?
- 2:13:32Speaker 10: A quarrel hoe already?
- 2:13:34Speaker 7: What's the matter about a hoop of gold, a paltry
- 2:13:37Speaker 7: ring that she.
- 2:13:38Speaker 8: Did give me?
- 2:13:39Speaker 7: Whose poesy was for all the world like Cutler's poetry
- 2:13:43Speaker 7: upon a knife?
- 2:13:44Speaker 8: Love me and leave me not?
- 2:13:46Speaker 11: What talk you of the poesy? Of the value you
- 2:13:48Speaker 11: swore to me when I did give it to you,
- 2:13:50Speaker 11: that you would wear till you're hour of death, and
- 2:13:52Speaker 11: that it should lie with you in your grave, though
- 2:13:54Speaker 11: not for me yet, for your vehement oaths, you should
- 2:13:57Speaker 11: have been respective and have kept it, gave it a
- 2:13:59Speaker 11: judge clerk, No, God's my judge. The clerk will never wear.
- 2:14:03Speaker 7: Hair on space that had it, he will, and if
- 2:14:06Speaker 7: he lived to be a.
- 2:14:07Speaker 11: Man, I if a woman lived to be a man.
- 2:14:09Speaker 7: Now by this hand, I gave it to a youth,
- 2:14:12Speaker 7: a kind of boy, a little scrubbed boy, no higher
- 2:14:16Speaker 7: than thyself, the judge's clerk, a prating boy that begged
- 2:14:20Speaker 7: it as a fee. I could not, for my heart
- 2:14:23Speaker 7: deny it him.
- 2:14:24Speaker 10: You were to blame. I must be plain with you
- 2:14:27Speaker 10: to part so slightly with your wife's first gift, a
- 2:14:30Speaker 10: thing stuck on with oaths upon your finger, and so
- 2:14:33Speaker 10: riveted with faith unto your flesh. I gave my love
- 2:14:37Speaker 10: a ring and made him swear never to part with it.
- 2:14:40Speaker 10: And here he stands, I dare be sworn for him.
- 2:14:43Speaker 10: He would not leave it nor pluck it from his finger,
- 2:14:45Speaker 10: for the wealth that the world masters now in faith. Graciano,
- 2:14:50Speaker 10: you give your wife too unkind a cause of grief,
- 2:14:53Speaker 10: and were to me I should be mad at it.
- 2:14:55Speaker 5: Aside why I were best to cut my left then
- 2:14:58Speaker 5: off and swear I lost the ring defending it.
- 2:15:01Speaker 7: My Lord Bassanio gave his ring away unto the judge
- 2:15:04Speaker 7: that begged it, and indeed deserved it too. And then
- 2:15:08Speaker 7: the boy his clerk, that took some pains in writing,
- 2:15:12Speaker 7: he begged mine. And neither man nor master would take
- 2:15:15Speaker 7: aught but the two rings.
- 2:15:17Speaker 10: What ring gave you, my lord? Not that I hope
- 2:15:20Speaker 10: what you received of me.
- 2:15:22Speaker 5: If I could add a lie unto a fault, I
- 2:15:24Speaker 5: would deny it. But you see my finger half, not
- 2:15:27Speaker 5: the ring upon it.
- 2:15:28Speaker 10: It is gone, even so void is your false heart
- 2:15:31Speaker 10: of truth. By Heaven, I will ne'er come in your
- 2:15:34Speaker 10: bed until I see the ring, nor i'm yours till
- 2:15:37Speaker 10: I again.
- 2:15:37Speaker 5: See mine, Sweet Portia, If you didn't know to whom
- 2:15:41Speaker 5: I gave the ring, if you didn't know for whom
- 2:15:44Speaker 5: I gave the ring, and would conceive for what I
- 2:15:48Speaker 5: gave the ring, and how unwillingly I left the ring
- 2:15:51Speaker 5: when naught would be accepted but the ring, you would
- 2:15:55Speaker 5: abate the strength of your displeasure.
- 2:15:58Speaker 10: If you had known the verse of the ring, or
- 2:16:01Speaker 10: half her worthiness that gave the ring, or your own
- 2:16:04Speaker 10: honor to contain the ring, you would not then have
- 2:16:06Speaker 10: parted with the ring. What man is there so much unreasonable?
- 2:16:11Speaker 10: If you had pleased to have defended it with any
- 2:16:13Speaker 10: terms of zeal, wanted the modesty to urge the thing
- 2:16:16Speaker 10: held as a ceremony. Larissa teaches me what to believe.
- 2:16:20Speaker 11: I'll die for it.
- 2:16:21Speaker 10: But some woman had the ring.
- 2:16:23Speaker 5: No, by my honor, madam, by my soul, no woman
- 2:16:27Speaker 5: had it but a civil doctor, which did refuse three
- 2:16:31Speaker 5: thousand ducads of being begged the ring, the which I
- 2:16:35Speaker 5: did deny him, and suffered him to go displeased away,
- 2:16:40Speaker 5: even he that had held the life of my dear friend.
- 2:16:44Speaker 5: What should I say, sweet lady, I was enforced to
- 2:16:47Speaker 5: send it after him. I was beset with shame and courtesy.
- 2:16:52Speaker 5: My honor would not let ingratitude so much besmere it
- 2:16:57Speaker 5: Pardon me, good lady, for by these blessed and candles
- 2:17:00Speaker 5: of the night, had you been there, I think you
- 2:17:03Speaker 5: would have begged the ring of me to give the
- 2:17:05Speaker 5: worthy doctor.
- 2:17:06Speaker 10: Let not that doctor air come near my house. Since
- 2:17:09Speaker 10: he hath got the jewel that I loved, and that
- 2:17:11Speaker 10: which you did swear to keep from me. I will
- 2:17:14Speaker 10: become as liberal as you. I'll not deny him anything.
- 2:17:17Speaker 10: I have no not my body nor my husband's bed,
- 2:17:21Speaker 10: know him. I shall, I am well sure of it.
- 2:17:23Speaker 10: Lie not a knight from home, watch me like argus.
- 2:17:27Speaker 4: If you do not.
- 2:17:28Speaker 10: If I be left alone now by mine honor, which
- 2:17:31Speaker 10: is yet mine own, I'll have that doctor for mine bedfellow, and.
- 2:17:34Speaker 11: I, as clerk therefobe it well advised. How you do
- 2:17:37Speaker 11: leave me to my own protection?
- 2:17:39Speaker 8: Well?
- 2:17:39Speaker 7: Do you so let me not take him? Then? For
- 2:17:42Speaker 7: if I do, I'll mar the young clerk's pen.
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: I am the unhappy subject of these quarrels.
- 2:17:48Speaker 10: Sir, grieve not you. You are welcome, notwithstanding.
- 2:17:52Speaker 5: Porscha, forgive me this enforced wrong. And in the hearing
- 2:17:57Speaker 5: of these many friends, I swear to even by thine
- 2:18:01Speaker 5: own fair eyes, wherein I see myself.
- 2:18:05Speaker 10: Mark you, but that in both my eyes he doubly
- 2:18:08Speaker 10: sees himself in each eye. One swear by your double self.
- 2:18:12Speaker 10: And there's an oath of credit.
- 2:18:14Speaker 5: Nay, but hear me pardon this fault. And by my soul,
- 2:18:17Speaker 5: I swear I never more will break an oath with
- 2:18:20Speaker 5: thee I.
- 2:18:21Speaker 2: Once did lend my body for his wealth, which but
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: for him that had your husband's ring, had quite miscarried.
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: I dare be bound again my soul upon the forfeit
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: that your lord will never more break faith advisedly.
- 2:18:39Speaker 10: Then you shall be his surety. Give him this and
- 2:18:42Speaker 10: bid him keep it better than the other.
- 2:18:44Speaker 2: Here, Lord Bassanio, swear to keep this ring, by heaven.
- 2:18:51Speaker 5: It is the same I.
- 2:18:52Speaker 4: Gave the doctor I had it of him.
- 2:18:55Speaker 10: Pardon me, Bassanio, for by this ring the doctor lay
- 2:18:58Speaker 10: with me.
- 2:19:00Speaker 11: My gentle Graciano. By that same scrubbed boy, the doctor's
- 2:19:03Speaker 11: clerk and lieu of this last night did lie with me.
- 2:19:06Speaker 8: Ah.
- 2:19:06Speaker 7: Why this is like the mending of highways in summer,
- 2:19:10Speaker 7: where the ways are fair enough?
- 2:19:12Speaker 8: What are we cuckolds?
- 2:19:13Speaker 7: There? We have deserved it?
- 2:19:15Speaker 10: Speak not so grossly. You are all amazed. Here is
- 2:19:19Speaker 10: a letter. Read it at your leisure. It comes from Padua,
- 2:19:22Speaker 10: from Belario. There you shall find that Portio was the
- 2:19:26Speaker 10: doctor Nerissa there her clerk Lorenzo here shall witness. I
- 2:19:30Speaker 10: set forth as soon as you and even but now returned,
- 2:19:33Speaker 10: I have not yet entered my house. Antonio. You are welcome,
- 2:19:37Speaker 10: and I have better news in store for you than
- 2:19:39Speaker 10: you expect. Unseal this letter. Soon there you shall find
- 2:19:43Speaker 10: three of your argacies are richly come to harbor. Suddenly
- 2:19:46Speaker 10: you shall not know by what strange accident I chance
- 2:19:49Speaker 10: it on this letter.
- 2:19:50Speaker 8: Ah, I am dumb.
- 2:19:54Speaker 5: Were you the doctor and I knew you not?
- 2:19:59Speaker 7: Were you the clerk that is to make me cuckold?
- 2:20:03Speaker 11: Ay, but the clerk that never means to do it
- 2:20:05Speaker 11: unless he live? And they be a man?
- 2:20:06Speaker 5: Sweet doctor, you shall be my bedfellow when I am absent.
- 2:20:12Speaker 5: Then lie with my wife.
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: Sweet lady, you have given me life and living. For
- 2:20:18Speaker 2: here I read for certain that my ships are safely
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: come to road.
- 2:20:23Speaker 10: How now, Lorenzo, my clerk, hath some good comforts.
- 2:20:27Speaker 11: Too for you, ay, and I'll give them him without
- 2:20:29Speaker 11: a fee. Therefore, I to gift to you and Jessica
- 2:20:32Speaker 11: from the rich Jew a special deed of gift after
- 2:20:35Speaker 11: his death, of all he dies possessed.
- 2:20:37Speaker 6: Of fair ladies. You drop mana in the way of
- 2:20:40Speaker 6: starved people.
- 2:20:42Speaker 10: It is almost mourning. And yet I am sure you
- 2:20:45Speaker 10: are not satisfied of these events at full. Let us
- 2:20:48Speaker 10: go in and charge us there upon interrogatories, and we
- 2:20:51Speaker 10: will answer all things faithfully.
- 2:20:54Speaker 7: Let it be so. The first interrogatory that my Nerissa
- 2:20:58Speaker 7: shall be sworn on is where till the next night
- 2:21:01Speaker 7: she had rather stay or go to bed, now being
- 2:21:05Speaker 7: two hours to day. But were the day come, I
- 2:21:08Speaker 7: should wish it dark till I were couching with the
- 2:21:11Speaker 7: doctor's clerk. Well, while I live, I'll fear no other
- 2:21:16Speaker 7: thing so sore as keeping safe Nerissa's ring excient end
- 2:21:22Speaker 7: of Act five
