"Chances fair and chooses true
1:04:04
"Since this fortune falls on you
1:04:06
"Be content and seek no new
1:04:09
"If you be well pleased with this
1:04:11
"Then hold your fortune for your bliss
1:04:16
"Turn you where your lady is
1:04:20
"And claim her with a loving kiss"
1:04:26
A gentle scroll!
1:04:30
Fair lady,
1:04:33
by your leave, I come by note
1:04:37
to give.
1:04:44
And to receive.
1:04:54
Like one of two contending in a prize
1:04:56
That thinks he has done well
in people"s eyes

1:04:59
Hearing applause and universal shout
1:05:01
Giddy in spirit, still gazing in a doubt
1:05:04
As doubtful whether what I see be true
1:05:08
Until confirmed, signed, ratified
1:05:13
by you
1:05:22
You see me, lord Bassanio,
where I stand, such as I am.

1:05:27
Though for myself alone
1:05:29
I would not be ambitious in my wish
to wish myself much better,

1:05:34
yet for you,
1:05:36
I would be treble twenty times myself.
1:05:42
A thousand times more fair,
1:05:45
ten thousand times more rich,
1:05:47
that only to stand high in your account,
I might in virtues, beauties,

1:05:53
livings, friends,
1:05:58
exceed account.
