I am sorry thou wilt leave my Father so, Our house is hell, and thou a merry devil Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness, But far thee well, there is a ducat for thee, And Lancelet, soon at supper shalt thou see Lorenso, who is thy new Masters guest, Give him this Letter, do it secretly, And so farewell: I would not have my Father See me in talk with thee. Farewell good Lancelet. Alack, what heinous sin is it in me To be ashamed to be my Father's child, But though I am a daughter to his blood I am not to his manners: o Lorenso If thou keep promise I shall end this strife, Become a Christian and thy loving wife. That were a kind of bastard hope in deed, so the sins of my mother should be visited upon me. Nay, you need not fear us Lorenzo, Lancelet and I are out, he tells me flatly there's no mercy for me in heaven, because I am a Jews daughter: and he says you are no good member of the commonwealth, for in converting Jews to Christians, you raise the price of pork. Call you? what is your will? His words were farewell mistress, nothing else. Lorenzo certain, and my love indeed, for who love I so much? and now who knows but you Lorenzo whither I am yours? And what hope is that I pray thee? I shall be saved by my husband, he hath made me a Chri stian? Farewell, and if my fortune be not crossed, I have a Father, you a daughter lost. Here catch this casket, it is worth the pains, I am glad us night you do not look on me, for I am much ashamed of my exchange: But love is blind, and lovers cannot see The prerty follies that themselves commit, for if they could. Cupid himself would blush to see me thus transformed to a boy. Who are you? tell me for more certainty, Albeit I'll swear that I do know your tongue. When I was with him, I have herd him swear to Tuball and to Chus, his countrymen, that he would rather have Anthonios flesh then twenty times the valve of the sum that he did owe him: and I know my lord, if law, authority, and power deny not, it will go hard with poor Anthonio. In such a night did Thisbe fearfully ore-trip the dew, and saw the Lyons shadow ere him self, and ran dismayed away. I wish your Ladyship all hearts content. I'll tell my husband Lancelet what you say, here he come? In such a night Medea gathered the enchanted herbs that did renew old Eson. In such a night did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well, stealing her soul with many vows of faith, and never a true one. I would out-night you did no body come: But hark, I hear the footing of a man. I am never merry when I hear sweet music. What, must I hold a candle to my shames, they in themselves goodsooth are too too light. Why, 'tis and office of discovery love, and I should be obscured. I will make fast the doors & guild my self with some more ducats, and be with you straight.
Plot summary
Plot — The Merchant of Venice (The Jew of Venice)
Bassanio plans to woo the heiress Portia, hoping that, if successful, her wealth will get him out of debt. His friend and principal creditor, the melancholy merchant Antonio, agrees to finance the venture, but all his money is tied up in commercial activity. He seeks a loan from the Jew Shylock, who himself raises the money by borrowing from his co-religionist Tubal. ===== PAGE 342 ===== 342 |. 1047.
