3031Vayling her high top lower then her ribs

3132To kisse her buriall; should I goe to Church

3233And see the holy edifice of stone

3334And not bethinke me straight of dangerous rocks,

3435which touching but my gentle vessels side

3536would scatter all her spices on the streame,

3637Enrobe the roring waters with my silkes,

3738And in a word, but euen now worth this,

3839And now worth nothing. Shall I haue the thought

3940To thinke on this, and shall I lack the thought

4041That such a thing bechaunc'd would make me sad?

4142But tell not me, I know Anthonio

4243Is sad to thinke vpon his merchandize.

4344Anth. Beleeue me no, I thanke my fortune for it

4445My ventures are not in one bottome trusted,

4546Nor to one place; nor is my whole estate

4647Vpon the fortune of this present yeere:

4748Therefore my merchandize makes me not sad.

4849Sola. Why then you are in loue.

4950Anth. Fie, fie.

5051Sola. Not in loue neither: then let vs say you are sad

5152Because you are not merry; and twere as easie

5253For you to laugh and leape, and say you are merry

5354Because you are not sad. Now by two-headed Ianus,

5455Nature hath framd strange fellowes in her time:

5556Some that will euermore peepe through their eyes,

5657And laugh like Parrats at a bagpyper.

5758And other of such vinigar aspect,

5859That theyle not shew theyr teeth in way of smile

5960Though Nestor sweare the iest be laughable.

6162Sola. Here comes Bassanio your most noble kinsman,

6263Gratiano, and Lorenso. Faryewell,

6364We leaue you now with better company.

6465Sala. I would haue staid till I had made you merry,

6566If worthier friends had not preuented me.

6667Anth. Your worth is very deere in my regard.
