common ferry Which trades to Venice。 Waste no time in words�察�But get
thee gone�察�I shall be there before thee。 BALTHASAR。 Madam�察�I go with
all convenient speed。 Exit PORTIA。 Come on�察 �Nerissa�察 �I have work in
hand That you yet know not of�察�we'll see our husbands Before they think
of us。 NERISSA。 Shall they see us�拭�PORTIA。 They shall�察�Nerissa�察�but in
such a habit That they shall think we are accomplished With that we lack。
I'll hold thee any wager�察�When we are both accoutred like young men�察�I'll
prove the prettier fellow of the two�察�And wear my dagger with the braver
grace�察�And speak between the change of man and boy With a reed voice�察�
and turn two mincing steps Into a manly stride�察�and speak of frays Like a
fine bragging youth�察�and tell quaint lies�察�How honourable ladies sought my
love�察�Which I denying�察�they fell sick and died´ I could not do withal。 Then
I'll repent�察�And wish for all that�察�that I had not kill'd them。 And twenty of
these puny lies I'll tell�察�That men shall swear I have discontinued school
About a twelvemonth。 I have within my mind A thousand raw tricks of
these bragging Jacks�察�Which I will practise。 NERISSA。 Why�察�shall we turn
to men�拭 �PORTIA。 Fie�察 �what a question's that�察 �If thou wert near a lewd
interpreter� �But come�察�I'll tell thee all my whole device When I am in my
coach�察�which stays for us At the park gate�察�and therefore haste away�察�For
we must measure twenty miles to´day。 Exeunt

SCENE V。 Belmont。 The garden
Enter LAUNCELOT and JESSICA
LAUNCELOT。 Yes�察�truly�察�for�察�look you�察�the sins of the father are to
be laid upon the children�察 �therefore�察 �I promise you�察 �I fear you。 I was
always plain with you�察 �and so now I speak my agitation of the matter�察�
therefore be o' good cheer�察�for truly I think you are damn'd。 There is but
one hope in it that can do you any good�察�and that is but a kind of bastard
hope�察 �neither。 JESSICA。 And what hope is that�察 �I pray thee�拭�
LAUNCELOT。 Marry�察�you may partly hope that your father got you not´
that you are not the Jew's daughter。 JESSICA。 That were a kind of bastard
hope indeed�察 �so the sins of my mother should be visited upon me。
LAUNCELOT。 Truly then I fear you are damn'd both by father and mother�察�
thus when I shun Scylla�察�your father�察�I fall into Charybdis�察�your mother�察�
well�察�you are gone both ways。 JESSICA。 I shall be sav'd by my husband�察�
he hath made me a Christian。 LAUNCELOT。 Truly�察�the more to blame he�察�
we were Christians enow
before�察�e'en as many as could well live one by another。 This making
of Christians will raise the price of hogs�察�if we grow all to be pork´eaters�察�
we shall not shortly have a rasher on the coals for money。
Enter LORENZO JESSICA。 I'll tell my husband�察 �Launcelot�察 �what
you say�察�here he comes。 LORENZO。 I shall grow jealous of you shortly�察�
Launcelot�察�if you thus get my wife into corners。 JESSICA。 Nay�察�you need
nor fear us�察�Lorenzo�察�Launcelot and I are out�察�he tells me flatly there's no
mercy for me in heaven�察�because I am a Jew's daughter�察�and he says you
are no good member of the commonwealth�察 �for in converting Jews to
Christians you raise the price of pork。 LORENZO。 I shall answer that
better to the commonwealth than you can the getting up of the negro's
belly�察�the Moor is with child by you�察�Launcelot。 LAUNCELOT。 It is much
that the Moor should be more than reason�察�but if she be less than an honest
woman�察�she is indeed more than I took her for。 LORENZO。 How every
fool can play upon the word� �I think the best grace of wit will shortly turn
into silence�察�and discourse grow commendable in none only but parrots。
Go in�察�sirrah�察�bid them prepare for dinner。 LAUNCELOT。 That is done�察�sir�察�

they have all stomachs。 LORENZO。 Goodly Lord�察�what a wit´snapper are
you� �Then bid them prepare dinner。 LAUNCELOT。 That is done too�察�sir�察�
only 'cover' is the word。 LORENZO。 Will you cover�察 �then�察 �sir�拭�
LAUNCELOT。 Not so�察�sir�察�neither�察�I know my duty。 LORENZO。 Yet more
quarrelling with occasion� �Wilt thou show the whole wealth of thy wit in
an instant�拭�I pray thee understand a plain man in his plain meaning�此�go to
thy fellows�察�bid them cover the table�察�serve in the meat�察�and we will come
in to dinner。 LAUNCELOT。 For the table�察�sir�察�it shall be serv'd in�察�for the
meat�察�sir�察�it shall be cover'd�察�for your coming in to dinner�察�sir�察�why�察�let it be
as humours and conceits shall govern。 Exit LORENZO。 O dear discretion�察�
how his words are suited� �The fool hath planted in his memory An army of
good words�察 �and I do know A many fools that stand in better place�察�
Garnish'd like him�察�that for a tricksy word Defy the matter。 How cheer'st
thou�察�Jessica�拭�And now�察�good sweet�察�say thy opinion�察�How dost thou like
the Lord Bassanio's wife�拭�JESSICA。 Past all expressing。 It is very meet
The Lord Bassanio live an upright life�察�For�察�having such a blessing in his
lady�察�He finds the joys of heaven here on earth�察�And if on earth he do not
merit it�察 �In reason he should never come to heaven。 Why�察 �if two gods
should play some heavenly match�察 �And on the wager lay two earthly
women�察�And Portia one�察 �there must be something else Pawn'd with the
other�察�for the poor rude world Hath not her fellow。 LORENZO。 Even such
a husband Hast thou of me as she is for a wife。 JESSICA。 Nay�察�but ask my
opinion too of that。 LORENZO。 I will anon�察 �first let us go to dinner。
JESSICA。 Nay�察�let me praise you while I have a stomach。 LORENZO。 No�察�
pray thee�察�let it serve for table´talk�察�Then howsome'er thou speak'st�察�'mong
other things I shall digest it。 JESSICA。 Well�察�I'll set you forth。 Exeunt
