Antonio�察�How much I have disabled mine estate By something showing a 

more swelling port Than my faint means would grant continuance�察�Nor do 

I now make moan to be abridg'd From such a noble rate�察�but my chief care 

Is to come fairly off from the great debts Wherein my time�察�something too 

prodigal�察�Hath left me gag'd。 To you�察�Antonio�察�I owe the most�察�in money 

and   in   love�察�And   from  your   love   I have   a   warranty To   unburden   all   my 

plots and purposes How to get clear of all the debts I owe。 ANTONIO。 I 

pray you�察�good Bassanio�察�let me know it�察�And if it stand�察�as you yourself 

still   do�察 �Within   the   eye   of   honour�察  �be   assur'd   My   purse�察  �my   person�察  �my 

extremest means�察�Lie all unlock'd to your occasions。 BASSANIO。 In my 

school´days�察�when I had lost one shaft�察�I shot his fellow of the self´same 

flight The self´same way�察�with more advised watch�察�To find the other forth�察�

and   by   adventuring   both   I   oft   found   both。   I   urge   this   childhood   proof�察�

Because   what   follows   is   pure   innocence。   I   owe   you   much�察  �and�察  �like   a 

wilful youth�察�That which I owe is lost�察�but if you please To shoot another 

arrow that self way Which you did shoot the first�察�I do not doubt�察�As I will 

watch the aim�察�or to find both�察�Or bring your latter hazard back again And 

thankfully   rest   debtor   for   the   first。 ANTONIO。 You   know   me   well�察  �and 

herein spend but time To wind about my love with circumstance�察�And out 

of doubt you do me now more wrong In making question of my uttermost 

Than if you had made waste of all I have。 Then do but say to me what I

should do That in   your knowledge may  by  me be   done�察�And I   am  prest 

unto it�察�therefore�察�speak。 BASSANIO。 In Belmont is a lady richly left�察�And 

she   is   fair   and�察  �fairer   than   that   word�察  �Of   wondrous   virtues。   Sometimes 

from her eyes I did receive fair speechless messages。 Her name is Portia´ 

nothing   undervalu'd   To   Cato's   daughter�察  �Brutus'   Portia。   Nor   is   the   wide 

world ignorant of her worth�察�For the four winds blow in from every coast 

Renowned suitors�察�and her sunny locks Hang on her temples like a golden 

fleece�察  �Which   makes   her   seat   of   Belmont   Colchos'   strond�察  �And   many 

Jasons come in quest of her。 O my Antonio�察�had I but the means To hold a 

rival place with one of them�察�I have a mind presages me such thrift That I 

should   questionless   be   fortunate。   ANTONIO。   Thou   know'st   that   all   my 

fortunes   are   at   sea�察  �Neither   have   I   money   nor   commodity   To   raise        a 

present sum�察�therefore go forth�察�Try what my credit can in Venice do�察�That 

shall be rack'd�察�even to the uttermost�察�To furnish thee to Belmont to fair 

Portia。   Go   presently   inquire�察  �and   so   will   I�察  �Where   money   is�察  �and   I   no 

question make To have it of my trust or for my sake。 Exeunt

                SCENE II。 Belmont。 PORTIA'S house 



     Enter PORTIA with her waiting´woman�察�NERISSA 

       PORTIA。 By my troth�察�Nerissa�察�my little body is aweary of this great 

world。 NERISSA。 You would be�察�sweet madam�察�if your miseries were in 

the same abundance as your good fortunes are�察�and   yet�察�for aught I   see�察�

they are as sick that surfeit with too much as they that starve with nothing。 

It is   no   mean happiness�察�therefore�察 �to be   seated   in the  mean�此�superfluity 

come sooner by white hairs�察�but competency lives longer。 PORTIA。 Good 

sentences�察�and well pronounc'd。 NERISSA。 They would be better�察�if well 

followed。 PORTIA。 If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do�察�

chapels had been churches�察�and poor men's cottages princes' palaces。 It is a 

good   divine   that   follows   his   own   instructions�察  �I   can   easier   teach   twenty 

what were good to be done than to be one of the twenty to follow mine 

own teaching。 The brain may devise laws for the blood�察�but a hot temper 

leaps o'er a cold decree�察�such a hare is madness the youth�察�to skip o'er the 

meshes of good counsel the cripple。 But this reasoning is not in the fashion 

to choose me a husband。 O me�察�the word 'choose'� �I may neither choose 

who I would nor refuse who I dislike�察�so is the will of a living daughter 

curb'd by  the   will of   a   dead   father。   Is   it   not   hard�察  �Nerissa�察  �that   I   cannot 

choose   one�察 �nor   refuse   none�拭  �NERISSA。 Your   father   was   ever   virtuous�察�

and   holy   men   at   their   death   have   good   inspirations�察  �therefore   the   lott'ry 

that   he   hath   devised    in  these   three  chests�察  �of  gold�察  �silver�察 �and    lead´ 

whereof  who   chooses his   meaning   chooses   you´   will   no   doubt   never  be 

chosen     by   any   rightly   but  one   who    you   shall  rightly   love。   But   what 

warmth is there in your affection towards any of these princely suitors that 

are   already   come�拭  �PORTIA。   I   pray   thee   over´name   them�察  �and   as   thou 

namest them�察�I will describe them�察�and according to my description�察�level 

at my affection。 NERISSA。 First�察�there is the Neapolitan prince。 PORTIA。 

Ay�察�that's a colt indeed�察�for he doth nothing but talk of his horse�察�and he 

makes it a great appropriation to his own good parts that he can shoe him 

himself�察�I am much afear'd my lady his mother play'd false with a smith。 

NERISSA。 Then is there the County Palatine。 PORTIA。 He doth nothing 

but frown�察�as who should say 'An you will not have me�察�choose。' He hears

merry tales and smiles not。 I fear he will prove the weeping philosopher 

when he grows old�察�being so full of unmannerly sadness in his youth。 I had 

rather be married to a death's´head with a bone in his mouth than to either 

of these。 God defend me from these two� �NERISSA。 How say you by the 

French lord�察�Monsieur Le Bon�拭�PORTIA。 God made him�察�and therefore let 

him pass for a man。 In truth�察�I know it is a sin to be a mocker�察�but he´ why�察�

he hath a horse better than the Neapolitan's�察�a better bad habit of frowning 

than the Count Palatine�察�he is every man in no man。 If a throstle sing he 

falls   straight   a´cap'ring�察  �he   will   fence   with   his   own   shadow�察  �if   I   should 

marry   him�察  �I   should   marry   twenty   husbands。   If   he   would   despise   me�察  �I 

would forgive him�察�for if he love me to madness�察�I shall never requite him。 

NERISSA。        What     say  you    then   to  Falconbridge�察     �the  young     baron   of 

England�拭�PORTIA。 You know I say nothing to him�察�for he understands not 

me�察  �nor   I   him�此  �he   hath   neither   Latin�察  �French�察  �nor   Italian�察  �and   you   will 

come   into   the   court   and   swear   that   I   have   a   poor   pennyworth   in   the 

English。 He is a proper man's picture�察�but alas�察�who can converse with a 

dumb´show�拭�How oddly he is suited� �I think he bought his doublet in Italy�察�

his   round    hose   in  France�察   �his  bonnet    in  Germany�察    �and   his   behaviour 

everywhere。 NERISSA。 What think you of the Scottish lord�察�his neighbour�拭�

PORTIA。 That   he   hath   a   neighbourly   charity  in   him�察  �for   he   borrowed   a 

box of the ear of the Englishman�察�and swore he would pay him again when 

he was able�察�I think the Frenchman became his surety�察�and seal'd under for 

another。     NERISSA。       How     like  you    the  young     German�察    �the   Duke    of 

Saxony's nephew�拭�PORTIA。 Very vilely in the morning when he is sober�察�

and most vilely in the afternoon when he is drunk。 When he is best�察�he is a 

little worse than a man�察�and when he is worst�察�he is little better than
