hath ta'en great pains to qualify His rigorous course�察�but since he stands
obdurate�察�And that no lawful means can carry me Out of his envy's reach�察�I
do oppose My patience to his fury�察 �and am arm'd To suffer with a
quietness of spirit The very tyranny and rage of his。 DUKE OF VENICE。
Go one�察�and call the Jew into the court。 SALERIO。 He is ready at the door�察�
he comes�察�my lord。
Enter SHYLOCK
DUKE OF VENICE。 Make room�察�and let him stand before our face。
Shylock�察�the world thinks�察 �and I think so too�察�That thou but leadest this
fashion of thy malice To the last hour of act�察�and then�察�'tis thought�察�Thou'lt
show thy mercy and remorse�察�more strange Than is thy strange apparent
cruelty�察�And where thou now exacts the penalty�察�Which is a pound of this
poor merchant's flesh�察�Thou wilt not only loose the forfeiture�察�But�察�touch'd
with human gentleness and love�察 �Forgive a moiety of the principal�察�
Glancing an eye of pity on his losses�察�That have of late so huddled on his
back´ Enow to press a royal merchant down�察�And pluck commiseration of
his state From brassy bosoms and rough hearts of flint�察 �From stubborn
Turks and Tartars�察 �never train'd To offices of tender courtesy。 We all
expect a gentle answer�察�Jew。 SHYLOCK。 I have possess'd your Grace of
what I purpose�察�And by our holy Sabbath have I sworn To have the due
and forfeit of my bond。 If you deny it�察 �let the danger light Upon your
charter and your city's freedom。 You'll ask me why I rather choose to have
A weight of carrion flesh than to receive Three thousand ducats。 I'll not
answer that�察�But say it is my humour´ is it answer'd�拭�What if my house be
troubled with a rat�察�And I be pleas'd to give ten thousand ducats To have it
ban'd�拭�What�察�are you answer'd yet�拭�Some men there are love not a gaping

pig�察�Some that are mad if they behold a cat�察�And others�察�when the bagpipe
sings i' th' nose�察 �Cannot contain their urine�察 �for affection�察 �Mistress of
passion�察�sways it to the mood Of what it likes or loathes。 Now�察�for your
answer�此�As there is no firm reason to be rend'red Why he cannot abide a
gaping pig�察�Why he�察�a harmless necessary cat�察�Why he�察�a woollen bagpipe�察�
but of force Must yield to such inevitable shame As to offend�察 �himself
being offended�察�So can I give no reason�察�nor I will not�察�More than a lodg'd
hate and a certain loathing I bear Antonio�察�that I follow thus A losing suit
against him。 Are you answered�拭 �BASSANIO。 This is no answer�察 �thou
unfeeling man�察�To excuse the current of thy cruelty。 SHYLOCK。 I am not
bound to please thee with my answers。 BASSANIO。 Do all men kill the
things they do not love�拭�SHYLOCK。 Hates any man the thing he would
not kill�拭 �BASSANIO。 Every offence is not a hate at first。 SHYLOCK。
What�察 �wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice�拭�ANTONIO。 I pray
you�察�think you question with the Jew。 You may as well go stand upon the
beach And bid the main flood bate his usual height�察�You may as well use
question with the wolf�察�Why he hath made the ewe bleat for the lamb�察�You
may as well forbid the mountain pines To wag their high tops and to make
no noise When they are fretten with the gusts of heaven�察�You may as well
do anything most hard As seek to soften that´ than which what's harder�拭�
His jewish heart。 Therefore�察�I do beseech you�察�Make no moe offers�察�use no
farther means�察 �But with all brief and plain conveniency Let me have
judgment�察 �and the Jew his will。 BASSANIO。 For thy three thousand
ducats here is six。 SHYLOCK。 If every ducat in six thousand ducats Were
in six parts�察�and every part a ducat�察�I would not draw them�察�I would have
my bond。 DUKE OF VENICE。 How shalt thou hope for mercy�察�rend'ring
none�拭 �SHYLOCK。 What judgment shall I dread�察 �doing no wrong�拭 �You
have among you many a purchas'd slave�察�Which�察�fike your asses and your
dogs and mules�察 �You use in abject and in slavish parts�察 �Because you
bought them�察 �shall I say to you 'Let them be free�察 �marry them to your
heirs´ Why sweat they under burdens�拭� let their beds Be made as soft as
yours�察�and let their palates Be season'd with such viands'�拭�You will answer
'The slaves are ours。' So do I answer you�此 �The pound of flesh which I
demand of him Is dearly bought�察�'tis mine�察�and I will have it。 If you deny

for judgment�察 �answer�察 �shall I have it�拭 �DUKE OF VENICE。 Upon my
power I may dismiss this court�察�Unless Bellario�察�a learned doctor�察�Whom I
have sent for to determine this�察 �Come here to´day。 SALERIO。 My lord�察�
here stays without A messenger with letters from the doctor�察 �New come
from Padua。 DUKE OF VENICE。 Bring us the letters�察�call the messenger。
BASSANIO。 Good cheer�察�Antonio� �What�察�man�察�courage yet� �The Jew shall
have my flesh�察�blood�察�bones�察�and all�察�Ere thou shalt lose for me one drop
of blood。 ANTONIO。 I am a tainted wether of the flock�察�Meetest for death�察�
the weakest kind of fruit Drops earliest to the ground�察�and so let me。 You
cannot better be employ'd�察 �Bassanio�察 �Than to live still�察 �and write mine
epitaph。
Enter NERISSA dressed like a lawyer's clerk
DUKE OF VENICE。 Came you from Padua�察 �from Bellario�拭�
NERISSA。 From both�察 �my lord。 Bellario greets your Grace。 ��Presents a
letter�А �BASSANIO。 Why dost thou whet thy knife so earnestly�拭�
SHYLOCK。 To cut the forfeiture from that bankrupt there。 GRATIANO。
Not on thy sole�察�but on thy soul�察�harsh Jew�察�Thou mak'st thy knife keen�察�
but no metal can�察�No�察�not the hangman's axe�察�bear half the keenness Of thy
sharp envy。 Can no prayers pierce thee�拭�SHYLOCK。 No�察�none that thou
hast wit enough to make。 GRATIANO。 O�察 �be thou damn'd�察 �inexecrable
dog� �And for thy life let justice be accus'd。 Thou almost mak'st me waver
in my faith�察�To hold opinion with Pythagoras That souls of animals infuse
themselves Into the trunks of men。 Thy currish spirit Govern'd a wolf who�察�
hang'd for human slaughter�察�Even from the gallows did his fell soul fleet�察�
And�察�whilst thou layest in thy unhallowed dam�察�Infus'd itself in thee�察�for
thy desires Are wolfish�察 �bloody�察 �starv'd and ravenous。 SHYLOCK。 Till
thou canst rail the seal from off my bond�察�Thou but offend'st thy lungs to
speak so loud�察�Repair thy wit�察�good youth�察�or it will fall To cureless ruin。 I
stand here for law。 DUKE OF VENICE。 This letter from Bellario doth
commend A young and learned doctor to our court。 Where is he�拭�
NERISSA。 He attendeth here hard by To know your answer�察 �whether
you'll admit him。 DUKE OF VENICE。 With all my heart。 Some three or
four of you Go give him courteous conduct to this place。 Meantime�察�the
