Your wife would give you little thanks for that,

54

55
Q

57
Q

Antonio

A

So please my lord the duke and all the court

58
Q

(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 35)

A

I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, and so following; but I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray wit you.

59
Q

(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 41)

A

I hate him for he is a Christian

60
Q

(Act 1, Scene 3, Line 180)

A

Come on: in this there can be no dismay; My ships come home a month before the day.

61
Q

(Act 2, Scene 1, Line 32)

A

If Hercules and Lichas play at dice, Which is the better man, he greater throw/ May turn by fortune from the weaker hand:

62
Q

(Act 2, Scene 2, Line 26)

A

Certainly, the Jew is the very devil incarnation, and, in my conscience, my conscience is but a kind of hard conscience to offer to counsel me to stay with the Jew. The fiend gives the more friendly counsel:

63
Q

(Act 2, Scene 2, Line 143)

A

The old proverb is very well parted between my master Shylock and you, sir: you have the grace of God, sir, and he hath enough.

64
Q

(Act 2, Scene 8, Line 15)

A

My daughter! -O my ducats! -O my daughter! Fled with a Christian! -O my christian ducats! Justice! the law! my ducats, and my daughter!
Shylock If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. He hates our sacred nation, and he rails, even there where merchants most do congregate, on me, my bargains, and my well-won thrift, which he calls interest. Cursed be my tribe if I forgive him.
Shylock Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?- fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.
Portia There’s something tells me (but it is not love) I would not lose you; and you know yourself hate counsels not in such a quality. But lest you should not understand me well-And yet a maiden hath no tongue but thought-I would detain you here some month or two before you venture for me. I could teach you how to choose right, but then I am forsworn.
Portia Beshrow your eyes! They have o’erlooked me and divided me; one half of me is yours, the other half yours-mine own I would say; but if mine then yours, and so all yours! O these naughty times puts bars between the owners and their rights! And so, though yours, not yours. Prove it so, let fortune go to hell for it, not I.
Shylock I’ll have my bond! Speak not against my bond! I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond. Thou call’dst me dog before thou hadst a cause, but since I am a dog, beware my fangs.
Shylock You have among you many a purchased slave, which like your asses and your dogs and mules you use in abject and in slavish parts, because you bought them. Shall I say to you, Let them be free! Marry them to hour heirs! Why sweat they under burdens? Let their beds be made as soft as yours, and let their palates be seasoned with such viands”? You will answer, “The slaves are ours.”

65
Q

Portia

A

The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest; it blesseth him that gives and him that takes. ‘Tis mightiest in the mightiest ; it becomes the throned monarch better than his crown. His scepter shows the force of temporal power, the attribute to awe and majesty, wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; but mercy is above the scept’red sway; it is enthroned in the hearts of kings, it is an attribute to God himself, and earthly power doth then show likest God’s when mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, through justice by thy plea, consider this: that, in the course of justice, note of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.

66
Q

Portia

A

Tarry a little; there is something else. This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood; the words expressly are “a pound of flesh,” take then thy bond, take thou thy pound of flesh; but in the cutting it, if thou dost shed on drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods are by the laws of Venice confiscate unto the state of Venice.

67
Q

Shylock

A

Nay, take my life and all! Pardon not that! You take my house, when you do take the prop that doth sustain my house. You take my life when you do take the means whereby I live.

68
Q

Portia

A

He is well paid that is well satisfied, and I, delivering you, am satisfied, and therein do account myself well paid; my mind was never yet more mercenary. I pray you know me when we meet again.

69
Q

Antonio

A

Therefore go forth; try what my credit can in Venice do
