328324and other ventures he hath squandred abroade, but ships are but

329325boordes, Saylers but men, there be land rats, and water rats, water

330326theeues, and land theeues, I meane Pyrats, and then there is the

331327perrill of waters, windes, and rockes: the man is notwithstanding

332328sufficient, three thousand ducats, I thinke I may take his bond.

333329Bas. Be assurd you may.

334330Iew. I will be assurd I may: and that I may bee assured, I will

335331bethinke mee, may I speake with Anthonio?

336332Bass. Yf it please you to dine with vs.

337333Iew. Yes, to smell porke, to eate of the habitation which your

338334Prophet the Nazarit coniured the deuill into: I wil buy with you,

339335sell with you, talke with you, walke with you, and so following:

340336but I will not eate with you, drinke with you, nor pray with you.

341337What newes on the Ryalto, who is he comes heere?

343339Bass. This is signior Anthonio.

344340Jew. How like a fawning publican he lookes.

345341I hate him for he is a Christian:

346342But more, for that in low simplicitie

347343He lends out money gratis, and brings downe

348344The rate of vsance heere with vs in Venice.

349345Yf I can catch him once vpon the hip,

350346I will feede fat the auncient grudge I beare him.

351347He hates our sacred Nation, and he rayles

352348Euen there where Merchants most doe congregate

353349On me, my bargaines, and my well-wone thrift,

354350which hee calls interrest: Cursed be my Trybe

355351if I forgiue him.

356352Bass. Shyloch, doe you heare.

357353Shyl. J am debating of my present store,

358354And by the neere gesse of my memorie

359355I cannot instantly raise vp the grosse

360356Of full three thousand ducats: what of that,

361357Tuball a wealthy Hebrew of my Tribe

362358Will furnish me; but soft, how many months

363359Doe you desire? Rest you faire good signior,

364360Your worship was the last man in our mouthes.
