salnio(路人甲）：Now what news on the Rialto?

Salerio(路人乙）：Why，yet it lives there uncheck'd that Sntonio hath a ship of rich lading wrack'd on the narrow seas.

Salerio(路人乙）；how now? Shylock! What news? Tell us . Do you hear whether Sntonio have had any loss at sea or no?

Sholock: A band- rout, a prodigal who dare scarce show his head on the Rialto.A gegger , that was us'd to come so smug upon the mart let him look to his bond. He was wont to call me usurer . Let him look to his bond.

Salernio(路人甲）：why? I am sure if he forteit thou will not take his flesh . What's that good for?

Shylock: To bait fish withal. If it will feed nothing else , it will feed my revenge. He hah disgrace'd me, and hind'red me half a million. Laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorn'd my nation, thwarted my bargains, dool'd my friends, heated mine enemies, and what's his reason?

I am a Jew. Hath not a jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions ,senses, affections, passions. Fed with the same food , hurt with the same weapons , subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? IF you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest , we wil resemble you in that. IF a Jew wrong a Christian. What is his humility? Revenge .IF a Christian wrong a Jew , what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, Revenge, The villainy you teach me , I will execute.... And it shal go hard, but I will better the instruction.

第五幕：The palace of justice

Antonio: HEar me yet, good Shylock

Shylock: I'll have my bond, speat not against my bond , I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond. Thou call'dst me dog before thou badst a cause. But since I am a dog, beware my fangs. The Duke shall grant me justice...

Antonio: I pray thee hear me speak

Shylock: I'll have y bond; I will not hear thee speak

Duke: Shylock, the world thinks, and I think so too. That thou but leadest this fashion on thy malcie. To the last hour of act and then 'tis thought, Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange than is thy strange apparent cruelty. Wel all expect a gentle answer,Jew?

Shylock: What judgment shall I dread doing no wrong? YOu have among you many a purchas'd slave which like your asses and your dogs and mules. You use in abject and in slavish parts .Because you bought them, Shall I say to you

Duck: HEar the learn'd Bellario, what he writes: Your Grace shall understand that I am very sick bu in loving visittion is a young doctor . HIs name is balthazar, He is furnish'd with my opinion which better'd with his own learing comes with him to fill up your Grace a request in my stead And here I take it is the doctor .Came you from old Bellario.

Balthazar: I did, my lord.

Duck: Antonio and old shylock, both stand forth.

Balthazar: IS your name Shylock?

Shylock: Shylock is my name!

Balthazar: OF a strange nature is the suit you follow. Yet in such rule that the venetian law cannot impugn you as you do proceed. You stand within his danger, do not?

Antonion: Ay, so he says

Balthazar: Do you confess the bond?

Antonio: I do

Balthzar: Then must the Jew be merciful

Shylock: ON what compulsion must I ? Tell me that

Balthazar: The qulity of mercy is not strain'd .It droppth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.This mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes The ghroned monarch better than his crown. His sceptre shows the force of temporal power. The attribute to awe and majesty where in doth sit the dread and fear of kings. But mercy is above all this sceptred sway. THe earthly power doth then show likest God's when mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew. Though justie be thy plea,consider this.That in the course of justice, none of us, none of us should see salvation. We do pra y for mercy

Shylock: My deds upon my head! I crave the law. The penalty and forfeit of my bond.

Balthazar: There is no power in Venice can alter a decree established.ANd lawfully by this the Jew may claim a pound of flesh, to be by him cut off nearest the merchant's heart. Antonio:Be merciful, Most heartily I do beseech the court to give th judement!

Balthzar:why then thus it is : Are there balance here to weighthe flesh?

Shylock: I have them ready.

Balthazar:Have by some surgeon, Shylock, on your charge , to stop his wounds lest he do bleed to death.

Shylock: Is it so nominated in the bond?

Balthzar: It is not so expressed but what of that?

Twere good you you do so much for charity.

SHylock: I cannot find it, 'tis not in the bond

Balthzar: you, merchant, have you any thing to say?

Antonio: But little, I am arm'd and well prepar'd

Balthzar: A pound of that, same merchat's flesh is thine. The court awards it and the law doth give it.

Shylock: Most learned judge, a sentence! Come prepare!

Balthzar: tarry! A little. There is somthing else. This bond doth give thee here no jot of blood. The words expressly are'a pound of flesh .Take then thy bond, take thou thy pound of flesh, But in the cutting it , if thou dost shed one drop of Christian blood thy lands and goods Are by the laws of Venice confiscate.

Shylock:Is that the law?

Balthzar:Thyself shalt see the act.Take thy forfeiture!

Shylock: Give me my principal,and let me go.

Balthzar: Thou shalt have nothing but the forfeiture tobe so taken at thy peril

Shylock: why then the devil give him food of it! I'll stay no longer question.

Balthzar: Tarry, Jew! The law hath yet another hold on you. It is enacted in the laws of Venice, IF it be proved against an alien that by direct or indirect attempt he seek the, life of any citizen The party' gainst the which he doth contrive shall seize one half his goods, the other half comes to the privy doffer of the state and the offender's life lies in the mercy of the Duke.DOwn, therefore and beg the mercy of the Duke.

Duke:That though salt see the difference of our spirit I pardon thee thy life before thou ask it. For half thy wealth, it is Antonio's the other half comes to the general state which humbleness may drive unto a fine.

Antonio:So please my lord the Duke and all the court to quit the fine for one half of his goods, I am content. Provided more, that for this favor, He presently become a Christian, Balzar: Art thou contented,Jew? What does you say?

Shylock: I am content. I pray you give me leave to go from hence. I am not well. Send the deed after to me ,and I will sign it.

Duke: Get thee gone, but do it!

Portia: Antonio. I have better news in store for you than you expect. Unseal this letter There you shall find three of your argosies are richly come to harbor suddenly. You shall not know by what strange accident I chanced on this letter.

Antiono: I am dumb. Were you the doctor, and I knew you not?

Portia:It is almost morning and yet I am sure you are not satisfied of these events at full. Let us go in. Then we will answer all things faithfully.
