12791273Tuball, at our Sinagogue Tuball. Exeunt.

12821276Portia. I pray you tarry, pause a day or two

12831277Before you hazard, for in choosing wrong

12841278I loose your companie; therefore forbeare a while,

12851279Theres something tells me (but it is not loue)

12861280I would not loose you, and you know your selfe,

12871281Hate counsailes not in such a quallity;

12881282But least you should not vnderstand me well,

12891283And yet a mayden hath no tongue, but thought,

12901284I would detaine you heere some moneth or two

12911285before you venture for me. I could teach you

12921286how to choose right, but then I am forsworne,

12931287So will I neuer be, so may you misse me,

12941288But if you doe, youle make me wish a sinne,

12951289That I had beene forsworne: Beshrow your eyes,

12961290They haue ore-lookt me and deuided me,

12971291One halfe of me is yours, the other halfe yours,

12981292Mine owne I would say: but if mine then yours,

12991293And so all yours; ô these naughty times

13001294puts barres betweene the owners and their rights,

13011295And so though yours, not yours, (proue it so)

13021296Let Fortune goe to hell for it, not I.

13031297I speake too long, but tis to peize the time,

13041298To ech it, and to draw it out in length,

13051299To stay you from election.

13061300Bass. Let me choose,

13071301For as I am, I liue vpon the racke.

13081302Por. Vpon the racke Bassanio, then confesse

13091303what treason there is mingled with your loue.

13101304Bass. None but that vgly treason of mistrust,

13111305which makes me feare th'inioying of my Loue,

13121306There may as well be amity and life

13131307Tweene snow and fire, as treason and my loue.

13141308Por. I but I feare you speake vpon the racke

13151309where men enforced doe speake any thing.
