                          SCENE I。 Venice。 A street 



     Enter ANTONIO�察�SALERIO�察�and SOLANIO 

       ANTONIO。 In sooth�察�I know not why I am so sad。 It wearies me�察�you 

say it wearies you�察�But how I caught it�察�found it�察�or came by it�察�What stuff 

'tis made of�察�whereof it is born�察�I am to learn�察�And such a want´wit sadness 

makes of me That I have much ado to know myself。 SALERIO。 Your mind 

is tossing on the ocean�察�There where your argosies�察�with portly sail´ Like 

signiors and rich burghers on the flood�察�Or as it were the pageants of the 

sea´    Do   overpeer    the  petty   traffickers�察 �That   curtsy   to  them�察  �do   them 

reverence�察    �As   they   fly  by  them    with   their  woven    wings。    SOLANIO。 

Believe me�察�sir�察�had I such venture forth�察�The better part of my affections 

would   Be   with   my  hopes   abroad。   I   should   be   still   Plucking   the   grass   to 

know where sits the wind�察�Peering in maps for ports�察�and piers�察�and roads�察�

And every object that might make me fear Misfortune to my ventures�察�out 

of   doubt�察�Would   make   me   sad。   SALERIO。   My   wind�察  �cooling   my   broth�察�

Would blow me to an ague when I thought What harm a wind too great 

might   do   at sea。   I should   not   see the   sandy  hour´glass   run   But   I   should 

think of shallows and of flats�察�And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand�察�

Vailing her high top lower than her ribs To kiss her burial。 Should I go to 

church And see the holy edifice of stone�察�And not bethink me straight of 

dangerous   rocks�察  �Which�察      �touching    but  my   gentle   vessel's   side�察 �Would 

scatter   all   her   spices   on   the   stream�察  �Enrobe   the   roaring   waters   with   my 

silks�察�And�察�in a word�察�but even now worth this�察�And now worth nothing�拭�

Shall I have the thought To think on this�察�and shall I lack the thought That 

such   a   thing   bechanc'd   would   make   me   sad�拭  �But   tell   not   me�察  �I   know 

Antonio Is sad to think upon his merchandise。 ANTONIO。 Believe me�察�no�察�

I thank my fortune for it�察�My ventures are not in one bottom trusted�察�Nor 

to one place�察�nor is my whole estate Upon the fortune of this present year�察�

Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad。 SOLANIO。 Why then you 

are in love。 ANTONIO。 Fie�察�fie� �SOLANIO。 Not in love neither�拭�Then let 

us say you are sad Because you are not merry�察�and 'twere as easy For you 

to laugh and leap and say you are merry�察�Because you are not sad。 Now�察�by 

two´headed Janus�察�Nature hath fram'd strange fellows in her time�此�Some

that   will   evermore   peep   through   their   eyes�察�And   laugh   like   parrots   at   a 

bag´piper�察�And   other   of   such   vinegar   aspect   That   they'll   not   show   their 

teeth in way of smile Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable。 

       Enter BASSANIO�察�LORENZO�察�and GRATIANO 

       Here    comes     Bassanio�察    �your   most    noble    kinsman�察    �Gratiano    and 

Lorenzo。 Fare ye well�察�We leave you now with better company。 SALERIO。 

I would have stay'd till I had made you merry�察�If worthier friends had not 

prevented me。 ANTONIO。 Your worth is very dear in my regard。 I take it 

your own business calls on you�察�And you embrace th' occasion to depart。 

SALERIO。   Good   morrow�察  �my   good   lords。   BASSANIO。   Good   signiors 

both�察�when shall we laugh�拭�Say when。 You grow exceeding strange�察�must 

it be   so�拭  �SALERIO。 We'll   make   our   leisures to   attend on   yours。   Exeunt 

SALERIO and SOLANIO LORENZO。 My Lord Bassanio�察�since you have 

found Antonio�察�We two will leave you�察�but at dinner´time�察�I pray you�察�have 

in    mind    where     we    must    meet。    BASSANIO。         I  will   not   fail   you。 

GRATIANO。   You   look   not   well�察  �Signior   Antonio�察  �You   have   too   much 

respect upon the world�察�They lose it that do buy it with much care。 Believe 

me�察�you are marvellously chang'd。 ANTONIO。 I hold the world but as the 

world�察�Gratiano´ A stage�察�where every man must play a part�察�And mine a 

sad one。 GRATIANO。 Let me play the fool。 With mirth and laughter let 

old wrinkles come�察�And let my liver rather heat with wine Than my heart 

cool   with   mortifying   groans。   Why   should   a   man   whose   blood   is   warm 

within   Sit   like   his   grandsire   cut   in   alabaster�察  �Sleep   when   he   wakes�察  �and 

creep into the jaundice By being peevish�拭�I tell thee what�察�Antonio´ I love 

thee�察�and 'tis my love that speaks´ There are a sort of men whose visages 

Do   cream   and   mantle   like   a   standing   pond�察  �And   do   a   wilful   stillness 

entertain�察 �With   purpose   to   be   dress'd   in   an   opinion   Of   wisdom�察  �gravity�察�

profound conceit�察�As who should say 'I am Sir Oracle�察�And when I ope my 

lips   let   no   dog   bark。'   O   my Antonio�察  �I   do   know   of   these   That   therefore 

only are reputed wise For saying nothing�察�when�察�I am very sure�察�If they 

should speak�察�would almost damn those ears Which�察�hearing them�察�would 

call their brothers fools。 I'll tell thee more of this another time。 But fish not 

with this melancholy bait For this fool gudgeon�察�this opinion。 Come�察�good 

Lorenzo。      Fare   ye   well   awhile�察   �I'll  end  my    exhortation     after  dinner。

LORENZO。 Well�察�we will leave you then till dinner´time。 I must be one of 

these     same    dumb     wise    men�察    �For   Gratiano     never    lets   me    speak。 

GRATIANO。 Well�察�keep me company but two years moe�察�Thou shalt not 

know the sound of thine own tongue。 ANTONIO。 Fare you well�察�I'll grow 

a   talker   for   this   gear。   GRATIANO。   Thanks�察  �i'   faith�察  �for   silence   is   only 

commendable In   a neat's tongue dried�察�and   a   maid   not   vendible。  Exeunt 

GRATIANO           and    LORENZO          ANTONIO。          Is  that    anything     now�拭�

BASSANIO。 Gratiano speaks an   infinite deal of nothing�察�more than   any 

man   in   all   Venice。   His   reasons   are   as   two   grains   of   wheat   hid   in�察  �two 

bushels of chaff�此�you shall seek all day ere you find them�察�and when you 

have them they are not worth the search。 ANTONIO。 Well�察�tell me   now 

what lady is the same To whom you swore a secret pilgrimage�察�That you 

to´day   promis'd   to   tell   me   of�拭  �BASSANIO。   'Tis   not   unknown   to   you�察�
