I have sworn | an oath | that I | will have | my
bond:
, ,
, ,
,
Thou calldst | me dog | before | thou hadst | a
cause,
,
, ,
, ,
But since | I am | a dog,| beware | my fangs,
,
, ,
, , 2->
The duke | shall grant | me just|ice, I | do
wond||er
,
, , ,
,
Thou naught|y jail|er, that | thou art | so fond

To come | abroad | with him | at his | request.

speak,

I'll not | be made | a soft | and^dull-eyed fool,
,
, , , ,
To shake | the head,| relent,| and sigh,| and
yield
,
, , ,
,
To Christ|ian int|erces|sors: Fol|low not,
,
, , ,
,
I'll have | no speak|ing, I | will have | my
bond.
[Exit]
SALARINO
,
, , ,
,
It is | the most | impen|etra|ble cur
,
, ,
That ev|er kept | with men.
ANTONIO
, ,
Let him | alone,
,
, ,
, x
I'll fol|low him | no more | with boot|less
prayers:
,
, , ,
,
He seeks | my life,| his reas|on well | I know;
,
, , ,
,
I oft | deliv|ered from | his for|feitures
, ,
, T T .
T
Many | that have | at times | made moan to me,
,
,
Therefore | he hates | me.
SALARINO
<- , ,
, ,
, , ,
,
I | am sure | the duke || will nev|er grant |
this for|feiture | to hold.
ANTONIO
,
, , ,
,
The duke | cannot | deny | the course | of law:
,
, , ,
,
For the | commod|ity | that strang|ers have
,
, ,
, ,
With us | in Ven|ice, if | it be | denied,
,
, , ,
,
Will much | impeach | the just|ice of | his
state,
,
, x ,
,
Since that | the trade | and profit | of the |
city
, ,
, , ,
Consis|teth of / all na|tions. There|fore go,
, , ,
, ,
These griefs | and los|ses have / so bat|ed me,
,
, ,
, ,
That I | shall hard|ly spare | a pound | of flesh
, ,
, , ,
Tomor|row, to | my blood|y cred|itor.
,
, ,
, 2 ,
Well jail|er, on,| pray* God | Bassan|io come
, ,
, 2 ,
,
To see | me pay | his debt,| and then I | care*
not. ??
