This is the | penthouse / under | which Lo|renzo

Desired | us to / make stand.
SALARINO

His hour | is al|most past. (tri with prev)
GRATIANO

And it | is marv|el he | out^dwells | his hour,
,
, , ,
,
For lov|ers ev|er run | before | the clock.
SALARINO

,
O ten | times faster Ven|us' pige|ons fly
. T T
T , ,
,
To seal love's bonds | new-made,/ than they | are
wont
,
, , ,
,
To keep | oblig|ed faith | unfor|feited.
GRATIANO
,
, , ,
,
That ev|er holds,| who ris/eth from | a feast
, ,
,
, ,
With that / keen ap|petite | that he / sits down?
,
, ,

Where is | the horse | that doth | untread |
again

His ted|ious meas|ures with | the unbat|ed fire,

That he | did pace | them first:| All things
that^are,

T Tx T
, ,
Are with | more spirit chas|ed than | enjoyed.
,
, , ,
,
How like | a younk|er or | a prod|igal
,
, ,
, ,
The scarf|ed bark | puts from | her nat|ive bay,
,
, , ,
,
Hugged and | embrac|ed by | the strump|et wind:
T T .

How like the prod|igal | doth she | return

With ov|er-weath|ered ribs | and rag|ged sails,

Lean, rent, and beg|gared by | the strump|et

Here comes | Loren|zo, more | of this |
hereaft||er.
LORENZO
,
, ,

Sweet* friends,| your pat|ience for | my long |
abode,
,
, , ,
,
Not^I,| but my | affairs | have made | you wait:
,
, , ,
,
When you | shall please | to play | the thieves |
for wives
,
, ,
,
I'll watch | as long | for you | then: ap/proach

Here || dwells my | father | Jew. Ho, who's | within?

Albeit | I'll swear | that I | do know | your
tongue.
LORENZO

Loren|zo cert|ain, and | my love | indeed,

For who | love^I | so much?| And now | who knows

But you | Loren|zo, wheth|er I | am yours?
LORENZO

Here, catch this | casket,| it is worth | the
pains,
2 ,
, , ,
,
I am glad |'tis night,| you do | not look | on
me,
,
, , ,
,
For I | am much | ashamed | of my | exchange:
,
, , ,
,
But love | is blind,| and lov|ers can|not see
,
, ,
, ,
The pret|ty fol|lies that | themselves | commit,
,
, ,
, ,
For if | they could,| Cupid | himself | would
blush
,
, , , ,
To see | me thus | transform|ed to | a boy.
LORENZO
,
, ,
, ,
Descend,| for you | must be | my torch|bearer.
JESSICA

What, must I | hold a | candle to | my shames?
, 2
T T T
. T T T
They in them|selves good sooth | are too too
light.
,
, ,
, 2 ,
Why, 'tis | an of|fice of | discov|ery love,
, ,
,
And I | should be | obscured.
LORENZO
, ,
So are | you sweet,
,
, ,
, ,
,
Even in the lovely garnish of a boy: but come at
once, ????
,
, , ,
,
For the / close night | doth play | the run|away,
,

And we | are stayed | for at | Bassan|io's feast.
JESSICA
,
, , ,
,
I will / make fast | the doors | and gild |
myself
, ,
, , ,
With some / more duc|ats, and | be with | you
straight.
[Exit above]
GRATIANO

Now* by | my hood,| a Gent|ile, and | no Jew.
LORENZO
,
, , ,
,
Beshrew | me but | I love | her heart|ily,
,
, , ,
,
For she | is wise,| if I | can judge | of her,
,
, , ,
,
And fair | she is,| if that | mine eyes | be
true,
,
, , ,
,
And true | she is,| as she | hath proved |
herself:

And there|fore like | herself,| wise, fair, and
true,

Shall she | be plac|ed in | my const|ant soul.
