| Enter SALARINO and SOLANIO | IANOLRSA adn SNLOIAO nrtee |
| SALARINO Why, man, I saw Bassanio under sail. With him is Gratiano gone along. And in their ship I am sure Lorenzo is not. | NALRIOSA I swa ssnBoiaa isla waay, adn raiaotGn ntwe wtih imh. Im rues norLoez itns on hirte phis. |
| SOLANIO The villain Jew with outcries raised the Duke, 5 Who went with him to search Bassanios ship. | OOINLSA tahT kdeciw weJ tgo het kedu to netlis to sih noatclmpsi. eTh udke twne hitw hmi to ehascr inasssBoa ishp. |
| SALARINO He came too late. The ship was under sail. But there the Duke was given to understand That in a gondola were seen together Lorenzo and his amorous Jessica. 10 Besides, Antonio certified the Duke They were not with Bassanio in his ship. | NSRIAALO He ogt herte oot alet. hTe pshi saw adlyear laisngi. tBu ocne he tog teher, eht ukde nredlae htat ooLzner adn hsi vlroe sJisaec ewre rgheotte in a daoognl. In nya seac, toAnnoi erasusd the eudk eyht rwtnee htiw inassoBa on hsi pihs. |
| SOLANIO I never heard a passion so confused, So strange, outrageous, and so variable, As the dog Jew did utter in the streets. 15 My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter, Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats! Justice, the law, my ducats, and my daughter! A seald bag, two seald bags of ducats, Of double ducats, stoln from me by my daughter! 20 And jewelstwo stones, two rich and precious stones Stoln by my daughter! Justice, find the girl! She hath the stones upon her, and the ducats. | ILOANSO evI erevn aehrd uhcs dosfcnue tnosiemo as hwta atht eJw gdo saw hnosguti in eht stertse. My thragued, oh my udscta, oh my gurhtdea! Rna off ithw a ihCsairnt!

Seh hsa the snsote on reh, nda the sactud. |
| SALARINO Why, all the boys in Venice follow him, Crying, His stones, his daughter, and his ducats! | ALSANROI I nkwo, lal eth ybso in Vcneie are ilgwolfno mih, enlygil, sHi ontses, shi hegratdu, and shi cutads! |
| SOLANIO 25 Let good Antonio look he keep his day, Or he shall pay for this. | LSOONIA I epoh ntinAoo epyars hsi aoln on eimt, or elhl euffrs fro tihs. |
| SALARINO Marry, well remembered. I reasoned with a Frenchman yesterday, Who told me, in the narrow seas that part The French and English, there miscarried 30 A vessel of our country richly fraught. I thought upon Antonio when he told me, And wished in silence that it were not his. | AROSAINL sthaT a odgo tnpoi. I pesko ihtw a raFnmhnec tayderesy woh aids taht a neteaVni pihs dladeo hitw arstreeu swa dkeecrw in eth gElinhs lennCah. I otuthgh uobat toinAon nweh he dtol me. I lltyisne hoped it wntas his pish. |
| SOLANIO You were best to tell Antonio what you hear Yet do not suddenly, for it may grieve him. | NOOLAIS uYo hulosd ltle oiAnont hwta uoy baruhet tnod do it ynudleds, cseueab it tgmih petus hmi. |
| SALARINO 35 A kinder gentleman treads not the earth. I saw Bassanio and Antonio part. Bassanio told him he would make some speed Of his return. He answered, Do not so. Slubber not business for my sake, Bassanio 40 But stay the very riping of the time. And for the Jews bond which he hath of me, Let it not enter in your mind of love. Be merry, and employ your chiefest thoughts To courtship and such fair ostents of love 45 As shall conveniently become you there. And even there, his eye being big with tears, Turning his face, he put his hand behind him, And with affection wondrous sensible He wrung Bassanios hand. And so they parted. | NLSRAOIA rTehse no incer uyg in eth loweh owrld.

| SOLANIO 50 I think he only loves the world for him. I pray thee, let us go and find him out And quicken his embracd heaviness With some delight or other. | ISOLAON I nkhti he lyon esvol eilf uscaeeb of nsoaiBas. setL go fdin mhi nda chree mhi up. |
| SALARINO Do we so. | OLRISAAN Yes, ltes do ttah. |
