1:46:00
in love and service to you ever more.
1:46:04
He is well paid that is well satisfied
1:46:06
and I, delivering you, am satisfied
1:46:09
and therein do account myself well paid -
fare you well.

1:46:12
Dear sir, of force
I must attempt you further.

1:46:15
Take some remembrance of us,
as a tribute, not as a fee.

1:46:20
Run me two things, I pray you.
1:46:22
Not to deny me and to pardon me.
1:46:28
You press me far, therefore I will yield.
1:46:35
Give me your gloves.
L"ll wear them for your sake.

1:46:41
And for your love,
I"ll take this ring from you.

1:46:45
Do not draw back your hand,
I"ll take no more,

1:46:49
and you, in love, shall not deny me this.
1:46:52
This ring... Good sir, alas, it is a trifle,
I would not shame myself to give you this.

1:46:57
I will have nothing else but only this.
1:46:59
There"s more depends on this
than on the value.

1:47:03
The dearest ring in all of Venice will I give
to you, and find it out by proclamation,

1:47:08
only for this, I pray you, pardon me.
1:47:12
Oh, I see, sir.
1:47:14
You are liberal in offers,
you taught me first to beg,

1:47:18
and now methinks you teach me
how a beggar should be answered.

1:47:21
This ring was given me by my wife.
1:47:24
Oh!
1:47:26
And when she put it on she made me vow
that I should neither sell nor give

1:47:32
nor lose it.
1:47:33
That "scuse serves many men
to save their gifts

1:47:36
and if your wife be not a madwoman,
1:47:38
then know her well
I have deserved this ring.

1:47:41
She would not hold out enemy forever
for giving it to me.

1:47:45
My lord Bassanio, let him have the ring.
1:47:48
Let not his deserving and my love as well
1:47:51
be valued "gainst
your wife"s commandment.
