Madam, if you knew
to whom you show this honour,
1:17:09
how true a gentleman you send relief,
1:17:12
how dear a lover of my lord your husband,
1:17:14
I know you would be prouder of the work
than customary kindness would allow you.
1:17:19
I never did repent for doing good,
I shall not now.
1:17:22
For in companions that do
converse and waste the time together
1:17:25
there needs must be a like proportion
of lineaments, of manners and of spirit.
1:17:32
Which makes me think that this Antonio,
being the bosom lover of my lord,
1:17:38
must needs be like my lord.
1:17:40
If it be so, how little
is the cost I have bestowed
1:17:43
in purchasing the semblance of my soul
from out of this state of hellish cruelty.
1:17:49
This comes too near
the praising of myself.
1:17:51
Therefore, no more of it. Hear other things.
1:17:54
Lorenzo, I commit into your hands
the husbandry and manage of my house
1:17:58
until my lord"s return.
1:17:59
For my own part, I have towards heaven
breathed a secret vow
1:18:03
to live in prayer and contemplation,
only attended by Nerissa here,
1:18:06
- until my husband and her lord"s return.
- Madam, with all my heart,
1:18:10
I shall obey you in all fair commands.
1:18:12
Fair thoughts and happy hours
attend on you.
1:18:15
Go, speed to Padua, render this
into my cousin"s hands, old Bellario.
1:18:19
Go!
1:18:28
Is it not so, cousin Bellario?
1:18:45
How sweet the rose...
1:18:50
See, Jessica.
1:18:53
Look how the floor of heaven is
thick inlaid with patterns of bright gold.
