SHYLOCK (aside) How like a fawning publican he looks! I hate him for he is a Christian, 35 But more for that in low simplicity He lends out money gratis and brings down The rate of usance here with us in Venice. If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. 40 He hates our sacred nation, and he rails, Even there where merchants most do congregate, On me, my bargains and my well-won thrift, | LHCOSKY (to miefhls) He okols jtsu ielk a uyg swoh bbeodr me tbu wno cmeso to geb me fro a vfrao!

SHYLOCK I am debating of my present store, And by the near guess of my memory I cannot instantly raise up the gross Of full three thousand ducats. What of that? 50 Tubal, a wealthy Hebrew of my tribe, Will furnish me. But soft! How many months Do you desire? (to ANTONIO) Rest you fair, good signor. Your worship was the last man in our mouths. | HYSCKLO Im hnigtkni obuta who umch asch I eavh on hdan. If I mmerbeer ccyorrlet, I natc isera eht tieenr reeth ndthuaso sduact mteiamlydei. tBu so awth?

SHYLOCK When Jacob grazed his uncle Labans sheep 70 This Jacob from our holy Abram was, As his wise mother wrought in his behalf, The third possessor, ay, he was the third | KYHCSLO Wnhe Jaocb ookt rcae of sih ecunl naLsab oceabepshJ wsa the rehi to shi afahegtrrnd Ahbasrma bhgitrihrt, aebeusc sih ohmter clrlveye rraegand rfo her dnaubhs Icasa to mkae aobcJ his iher |
ANTONIO And what of him? Did he take interest? | IOTNANO hastW yrou ipnot? Did he ghreac retnesit? |
SHYLOCK No, not take interestnot as you would say 75 Directly interest. Mark what Jacob did: When Laban and himself were compromised That all the eanlings which were streaked and pied Should fall as Jacobs hire, the ewes, being rank, In the end of autumn turnd to the rams. 80 And when the work of generation was Between these woolly breeders in the act, The skillful shepherd peeled me certain wands. And in the doing of the deed of kind He stuck them up before the fulsome ewes, 85 Who then conceiving did in eaning time Fall parti-colored lambsand those were Jacobs. This was a way to thrive, and he was blessed. And thrift is blessing, if men steal it not. | YSKLHCO No, he dntdi hecrga neesrittklhocyS usse a syort of Jbcoa mfor neessGi 30:4532 to edndfe shi icectapr of gihrcagn seetrtni. |
ANTONIO This was a venture, sir, that Jacob served for 90 A thing not in his power to bring to pass But swayed and fashioned by the hand of heaven. Was this inserted to make interest good? Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? | INTNOOA haTt snussebi rnevute ryeuo ernriefgr to pdhepean cuesbea Gdo mdae it papehn iekl atth. ocabJ itddn evha nya loronct over awht henpdaep. rAe ouy yganis this styro prvsoe ttah ighargcn ntietser meska esesn? taTh your neteisrt ytanspme rea leik Jcobas hepes? |

ANTONIO Mark you this, Bassanio, The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. 100 Oh, what a goodly outside falsehood hath! | OINAOTN tWcah otu, inaaosBs. hTe vldie cna uoeqt ircrStepu rof ihs nwo esu.

ANTONIO Well, Shylock, shall we be beholding to you? | NNTOAOI lleW, Shyckol? Are uoy onggi to nalo us the eonym? |
SHYLOCK Signor Antonio, many a time and oft 105 In the Rialto you have rated me About my moneys and my usances. Still have I borne it with a patient shrug, For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe. You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog, 110 And spet upon my Jewish gaberdine And all for use of that which is mine own. Well then, it now appears you need my help. Go to, then! You come to me and you say, Shylock, we would have moneys. You say so! 115 You, that did void your rheum upon my beard And foot me as you spurn a stranger cur Over your threshold! Moneys is your suit. What should I say to you? Should I not say, Hath a dog money? Is it possible 120 A cur can lend three thousand ducats? Or Shall I bend low and in a bondmans key With bated breath and whispering humbleness Say this: | CKYHSOL nSgrio otnAnoi, veouy tfeon ldesuint my ymeno nda my isbnssue ipstccera in the liatoR.

ANTONIO I am as like to call thee so again, To spet on thee again, to spurn thee too. 130 If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not As to thy friends, for when did friendship take A breed for barren metal of his friend? But lend it rather to thine enemy, Who, if he break, thou mayst with better face 135 Exact the penalty. | ITOONAN llI alorybbp allc uoy etosh enmas iagna nad istp on ouy, and rejcte yuo aagni too.

If oyur enemy soge nruptakb, its eerasi for you to akte ruyo aptneyl fmro mih. |
SHYLOCK Why, look you how you storm! I would be friends with you and have your love, Forget the shames that you have stained me with, Supply your present wants and take no doit Of usance for my moneysand youll not hear me! 140 This is kind I offer. | OLCYKHS oLko at uoy igenttg lal driel up!

BASSANIO This were kindness. | NSAABOIS ahTt ralley dluwo be dkin. |
SHYLOCK This kindness will I show. Go with me to a notary, seal me there Your single bond, andin a merry sport If you repay me not on such a day, 145 In such a place, such sum or sums as are Expressed in the condition, let the forfeit Be nominated for an equal pound Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken In what part of your body pleaseth me. | OYKLHSC llI hwos ouy who kind I am. eomC ihwt me to a toyanr adn wlel kema it iaiclffo.

BASSANIO You shall not seal to such a bond for me! Ill rather dwell in my necessity. | AOBSNAIS No, yuo tcna igsn a ncracott ielk tath orf me! Id athrre go huoittw eht myoen. |
ANTONIO Why, fear not, man.

SHYLOCK O Father Abram, what these Christians are, Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect 160 The thoughts of others!Pray you, tell me this: If he should break his day, what should I gain By the exaction of the forfeiture? A pound of mans flesh taken from a man Is not so estimable, profitable neither, 165 As flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats. I say, To buy his favor I extend this friendship. If he will take it, so. If not, adieu. And for my love I pray you wrong me not. | OLKCYSH Oh hrtafe amaArhb, htwa dkni of epopel are hsete sCinsairth? rThie own enmasens thsecae hetm to euspsct erhto eppeol!ePsela llet me itsh.

SHYLOCK 170 Then meet me forthwith at the notarys. Give him direction for this merry bond, And I will go and purse the ducats straight, See to my house left in the fearful guard Of an unthrifty knave, and presently 175 I will be with you. | LSYHCOK hTne etme me hirgt ywaa at het tyaosnr. ivGe mih eth srtituiconns orf our maungis ltlite ntctarco, dna llI go teg het emnyo for oyu irhtg ayaw.

ANTONIO And what of him? Did he take interest? | IOTNANO hastW yrou ipnot? Did he ghreac retnesit? |
SHYLOCK No, not take interestnot as you would say 75 Directly interest. Mark what Jacob did: When Laban and himself were compromised That all the eanlings which were streaked and pied Should fall as Jacobs hire, the ewes, being rank, In the end of autumn turnd to the rams. 80 And when the work of generation was Between these woolly breeders in the act, The skillful shepherd peeled me certain wands. And in the doing of the deed of kind He stuck them up before the fulsome ewes, 85 Who then conceiving did in eaning time Fall parti-colored lambsand those were Jacobs. This was a way to thrive, and he was blessed. And thrift is blessing, if men steal it not. | YSKLHCO No, he dntdi hecrga neesrittklhocyS usse a syort of Jbcoa mfor neessGi 30:4532 to edndfe shi icectapr of gihrcagn seetrtni. |
ANTONIO This was a venture, sir, that Jacob served for 90 A thing not in his power to bring to pass But swayed and fashioned by the hand of heaven. Was this inserted to make interest good? Or is your gold and silver ewes and rams? | INTNOOA haTt snussebi rnevute ryeuo ernriefgr to pdhepean cuesbea Gdo mdae it papehn iekl atth. ocabJ itddn evha nya loronct over awht henpdaep. rAe ouy yganis this styro prvsoe ttah ighargcn ntietser meska esesn? taTh your neteisrt ytanspme rea leik Jcobas hepes? |

SHYLOCK Signor Antonio, many a time and oft 105 In the Rialto you have rated me About my moneys and my usances. Still have I borne it with a patient shrug, For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe. You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog, 110 And spet upon my Jewish gaberdine And all for use of that which is mine own. Well then, it now appears you need my help. Go to, then! You come to me and you say, Shylock, we would have moneys. You say so! 115 You, that did void your rheum upon my beard And foot me as you spurn a stranger cur Over your threshold! Moneys is your suit. What should I say to you? Should I not say, Hath a dog money? Is it possible 120 A cur can lend three thousand ducats? Or Shall I bend low and in a bondmans key With bated breath and whispering humbleness Say this: | CKYHSOL nSgrio otnAnoi, veouy tfeon ldesuint my ymeno nda my isbnssue ipstccera in the liatoR.

ANTONIO I am as like to call thee so again, To spet on thee again, to spurn thee too. 130 If thou wilt lend this money, lend it not As to thy friends, for when did friendship take A breed for barren metal of his friend? But lend it rather to thine enemy, Who, if he break, thou mayst with better face 135 Exact the penalty. | ITOONAN llI alorybbp allc uoy etosh enmas iagna nad istp on ouy, and rejcte yuo aagni too.

SHYLOCK Why, look you how you storm! I would be friends with you and have your love, Forget the shames that you have stained me with, Supply your present wants and take no doit Of usance for my moneysand youll not hear me! 140 This is kind I offer. | OLCYKHS oLko at uoy igenttg lal driel up!

SHYLOCK This kindness will I show. Go with me to a notary, seal me there Your single bond, andin a merry sport If you repay me not on such a day, 145 In such a place, such sum or sums as are Expressed in the condition, let the forfeit Be nominated for an equal pound Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken In what part of your body pleaseth me. | OYKLHSC llI hwos ouy who kind I am. eomC ihwt me to a toyanr adn wlel kema it iaiclffo.

SHYLOCK O Father Abram, what these Christians are, Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect 160 The thoughts of others!Pray you, tell me this: If he should break his day, what should I gain By the exaction of the forfeiture? A pound of mans flesh taken from a man Is not so estimable, profitable neither, 165 As flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats. I say, To buy his favor I extend this friendship. If he will take it, so. If not, adieu. And for my love I pray you wrong me not. | OLKCYSH Oh hrtafe amaArhb, htwa dkni of epopel are hsete sCinsairth? rThie own enmasens thsecae hetm to euspsct erhto eppeol!ePsela llet me itsh.

Give him direction for this merry bond, And I will go and purse the ducats straight, See to my house left in the fearful guard Of an unthrifty knave, and presently 175 I will be with you. | LSYHCOK hTne etme me hirgt ywaa at het tyaosnr. ivGe mih eth srtituiconns orf our maungis ltlite ntctarco, dna llI go teg het emnyo for oyu irhtg ayaw.
