and that same prayer doth teach us all
to render the deeds of mercy.

1:31:12
I have spoke thus much
to mitigate the justice of your plea,

1:31:16
which if you follow
this strict course of Venice

1:31:20
must needs give sentence
against the merchant there.

1:31:25
My deeds upon my head.
1:31:29
I crave the law,

- Yes, here I tender it for him in court,

1:31:41

1:32:18
O wise young judge, how I do honour you.
1:32:21
I pray you, let me look upon the bond.
1:32:25
Most reverend doctor, here it is.
1:32:49
Shylock, there is twice the money
offered you.

1:32:54
An oath, an oath.
1:32:58
I have an oath in heaven.
