SHYLOCK I’ll have my bond. Speak not against my bond.
5 I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond.
Thou calledst me dog before thou hadst a cause.
But since I am a dog, beware my fangs.
The duke shall grant me justice.—I do wonder,
Thou naughty jailer, that thou art so fond
10 To come abroad with him at his request.

To Christian intercessors. Follow not.
I’ll have no speaking. I will have my bond.

Many that have at times made moan to me.

ANTONIO The duke cannot deny the course of law.
For the commodity that strangers have
With us in Venice, if it be denied,
Will much impeach the justice of his state,
30 Since that the trade and profit of the city
Consisteth of all nations. Therefore go.
These griefs and losses have so bated me,
That I shall hardly spare a pound of flesh
Tomorrow to my bloody creditor.—
35 Well, jailer, on.—Pray God Bassanio come
To see me pay his debt, and then I care not.
