you�察 �Lorenzo�察 �Jessica�察 �nor you。 ��A tucket sounds�А �LORENZO。 Your
husband is at hand�察�I hear his trumpet。 We are no tell´tales�察�madam�察�fear
you not。 PORTIA。 This night methinks is but the daylight sick�察�It looks a
little paler�察�'tis a day Such as the day is when the sun is hid。
Enter BASSANIO�察�ANTONIO�察�GRATIANO�察�and their followers
BASSANIO。 We should hold day with the Antipodes�察�If you would
walk in absence of the sun。 PORTIA。 Let me give light�察�but let me not be
light�察�For a light wife doth make a heavy husband�察�And never be Bassanio
so for me�察�But God sort all� �You are welcome home�察�my lord。 BASSANIO。
I thank you�察�madam�察�give welcome to my friend。 This is the man�察�this is
Antonio�察�To whom I am so infinitely bound。 PORTIA。 You should in all
sense be much bound to him�察�For�察�as I hear�察�he was much bound for you。
ANTONIO。 No more than I am well acquitted of。 PORTIA。 Sir�察�you are
very welcome to our house。 It must appear in other ways than words�察�
Therefore I scant this breathing courtesy。 GRATIANO。 ��To NERISSA�А�By
yonder moon I swear you do me wrong�察�In faith�察�I gave it to the judge's
66

clerk。 Would he were gelt that had it�察�for my part�察�Since you do take it�察�
love�察�so much at heart。 PORTIA。 A quarrel�察�ho�察�already� �What's the matter�拭�
GRATIANO。 About a hoop of gold�察 �a paltry ring That she did give me�察�
whose posy was For all the world like cutler's poetry Upon a knife�察�'Love
me�察�and leave me not。' NERISSA。 What talk you of the posy or the value�拭�
You swore to me�察�when I did give it you�察�That you would wear it till your
hour of death�察�And that it should lie with you in your grave�察�Though not
for me�察�yet for your vehement oaths�察�You should have been respective and
have kept it。 Gave it a judge's clerk� �No�察�God's my judge�察�The clerk will
ne'er wear hair on's face that had it。 GRATIANO。 He will�察�an if he live to
be a man。 NERISSA。 Ay�察�if a woman live to be a man。 GRATIANO。 Now
by this hand I gave it to a youth�察�A kind of boy�察�a little scrubbed boy No
higher than thyself�察�the judge's clerk�察�A prating boy that begg'd it as a fee�察�
I could not for my heart deny it him。 PORTIA。 You were to blame�察�I must
be plain with you�察�To part so slightly with your wife's first gift�察�A thing
stuck on with oaths upon your finger And so riveted with faith unto your
flesh。 I gave my love a ring�察�and made him swear Never to part with it�察�
and here he stands�察 �I dare be sworn for him he would not leave it Nor
pluck it from his finger for the wealth That the world masters。 Now�察 �in
faith�察�Gratiano�察�You give your wife too unkind a cause of grief�察�An 'twere
to me�察�I should be mad at it。 BASSANIO。 ��Aside�А�Why�察�I were best to cut
my left hand off�察�And swear I lost the ring defending it。 GRATIANO。 My
Lord Bassanio gave his ring away Unto the judge that begg'd it�察 �and
indeed Deserv'd it too�察�and then the boy�察�his clerk�察�That took some pains in
writing�察�he begg'd mine�察�And neither man nor master would take aught But
the two rings。 PORTIA。 What ring gave you�察�my lord�拭�Not that�察�I hope�察�
which you receiv'd of me。 BASSANIO。 If I could add a lie unto a fault�察�I
would deny it�察�but you see my finger Hath not the ring upon it�察�it is gone。
PORTIA。 Even so void is your false heart of truth�察�By heaven�察�I will ne'er
come in your bed Until I see the ring。 NERISSA。 Nor I in yours Till I
again see mine。 BASSANIO。 Sweet Portia�察 �If you did know to whom I
gave the ring�察 �If you did know for whom I gave the ring�察 �And would
conceive for what I gave the ring�察�And how unwillingly I left the ring�察�
When nought would be accepted but the ring�察 �You would abate the
67

strength of your displeasure。 PORTIA。 If you had known the virtue of the
ring�察 �Or half her worthiness that gave the ring�察 �Or your own honour to
contain the ring�察�You would not then have parted with the ring。 What man
is there so much unreasonable�察�If you had pleas'd to have defended it With
any terms of zeal�察 �wanted the modesty To urge the thing held as a
ceremony�拭 �Nerissa teaches me what to believe�此 �I'll die for't but some
woman had the ring。 BASSANIO。 No�察�by my honour�察�madam�察�by my soul�察�
No woman had it�察 �but a civil doctor�察 �Which did refuse three thousand
ducats of me�察�And begg'd the ring�察�the which I did deny him�察�And suffer'd
him to go displeas'd away´ Even he that had held up the very life Of my
dear friend。 What should I say�察�sweet lady�拭�I was enforc'd to send it after
him�察 �I was beset with shame and courtesy�察 �My honour would not let
ingratitude So much besmear it。 Pardon me�察 �good lady�察 �For by these
blessed candles of the night�察�Had you been there�察�I think you would have
begg'd The ring of me to give the worthy doctor。 PORTIA。 Let not that
doctor e'er come near my house�察�Since he hath got the jewel that I loved�察�
And that which you did swear to keep for me�察�I will become as liberal as
you�察�I'll not deny him anything I have�察�No�察�not my body�察�nor my husband's
bed。 Know him I shall�察�I am well sure of it。 Lie not a night from home�察�
watch me like Argus�察 �If you do not�察 �if I be left alone�察 �Now�察 �by mine
honour which is yet mine own�察 �I'll have that doctor for mine bedfellow。
NERISSA。 And I his clerk�察�therefore be well advis'd How you do leave me
to mine own protection。 GRATIANO。 Well�察�do you so�察�let not me take him
then�察 �For�察 �if I do�察 �I'll mar the young clerk's pen。 ANTONIO。 I am th'
unhappy subject of these quarrels。 PORTIA。 Sir�察�grieve not you�察�you are
welcome not withstanding。 BASSANIO。 Portia�察�forgive me this enforced
wrong�察�And in the hearing of these many friends I swear to thee�察�even by
thine own fair eyes�察�Wherein I see myself´ PORTIA。 Mark you but that� �In
both my eyes he doubly sees himself�察 �In each eye one�察 �swear by your
double self�察�And there's an oath of credit。 BASSANIO。 Nay�察�but hear me。
Pardon this fault�察�and by my soul I swear I never more will break an oath
with thee。 ANTONIO。 I once did lend my body for his wealth�察�Which�察�but
for him that had your husband's ring�察 �Had quite miscarried�察 �I dare be
bound again�察 �My soul upon the forfeit�察 �that your lord Will never more

break faith advisedly。 PORTIA。 Then you shall be his surety。 Give him this�察�
And bid him keep it better than the other。 ANTONIO。 Here�察�Lord Bassanio�察�
swear to keep this ring。 BASSANIO。 By heaven�察�it is the same I gave the
doctor� �PORTIA。 I had it of him。 Pardon me�察�Bassanio�察�For�察�by this ring�察�
the doctor lay with me。 NERISSA。 And pardon me�察�my gentle Gratiano�察�
For that same scrubbed boy�察�the doctor's clerk�察�In lieu of this�察�last night did
lie with me。 GRATIANO。 Why�察�this is like the mending of highways In
summer�察�where the ways are fair enough。 What�察�are we cuckolds ere we
have deserv'd it�拭�PORTIA。 Speak not so grossly。 You are all amaz'd。 Here
is a letter�察 �read it at your leisure�察 �It comes from Padua�察 �from Bellario�察�
There you shall find that Portia was the doctor�察 �Nerissa there her clerk。
Lorenzo here Shall witness I set forth as soon as you�察�And even but now
