THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
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�
Antonio�察�How much I have di
