10101006Sal. Why man I saw Bassanio vnder sayle,

10111007with him is Gratiano gone along;

10121008and in theyr ship I am sure Lorenzo is not.

10131009Sola. The villaine Iew with outcries raisd the Duke,

10141010who went with him to search Bassanios ship.

10151011Sal. He came too late, the ship was vndersaile,

10161012But there the Duke was giuen to vnderstand

10171013that in a Gondylo were seene together

10181014Lorenzo and his amorous Iessica.

10191015Besides, Anthonio certified the Duke

10201016they were not with Bassanio in his ship.

10211017Sol. I neuer heard a passion so confusd,

10221018So strange, outragious, and so variable

10231019as the dogge Iew did vtter in the streets,

10241020My daughter, ô my ducats, ô my daughter,

10251021Fled with a Christian, ô my Christian ducats.

10261022Iustice, the law, my ducats, and my daughter,

10271023A sealed bag, two sealed bags of ducats

10281024of double ducats, stolne from me by my daughter,

10291025and Iewels, two stones, two rich and precious stones,

10301026Stolne by my daughter: iustice, find the girle,

10311027shee hath the stones vpon her, and the ducats.

10321028Sal. Why all the boyes in Venice follow him,

10331029crying his stones, his daughter, and his ducats.

10341030Sola. Let good Anthonio looke he keepe his day

10351031or he shall pay for this.

10361032Sal. Marry well remembred,

10371033I reasond with a Frenchman yesterday,

10381034who told me, in the narrow seas that part

10391035the French and English, there miscaried

10401036a vessell of our country richly fraught:

10411037I thought vpon Anthonio when he told me,

10421038and wisht in silence that it were not his.

10431039Sol. You were best to tell Anthonio what you heare,

10441040Yet doe not suddainely, for it may greeue him.

10451041Sal. A kinder gentleman treades not the earth,

10461042I saw Bassanio and Anthonio part,

10471043Bassanio told him he would make some speede

10481044of his returne: he aunswered, doe not so,

10491045slumber not busines for my sake Bassanio,

10501046but stay the very riping of the time,

10511047and for the Iewes bond which he hath of me

10521048let it not enter in your minde of loue:

10531049be merry, and imploy your cheefest thoughts

10541050to courtship, and such faire ostents of loue

10551051as shall conueniently become you there,

10561052And euen there his eye being big with teares,

10571053turning his face, he put his hand behind him,

10581054and with affection wondrous sencible

10591055He wrung Bassanios hand, and so they parted.

10601056Sol. I thinke hee onely loues the world for him,

10611057I pray thee let vs goe and finde him out

10621058and quicken his embraced heauines

10631059with some delight or other.

10641060Sal. Doe we so. Exeunt.
