1:52:04
And then the boy, his clerk, that took
some pain in writing, he begged mine
1:52:09
and neither man nor master
would take aught but the two rings.
1:52:14
If I could add a lie onto a fault
I would deny it
1:52:17
but you see my finger
has not the ring upon it, it is... gone.
1:52:22
Even so void is your false heart of truth.
1:52:30
By heaven, I will ne"er come into your bed
until I see the ring.
1:52:34
Nor I in yours till I again see mine.
1:52:37
Sweet Portia, if you did know
to whom I gave the ring,
1:52:43
if you did know for whom I gave the ring,
1:52:45
and would conceive
for what I gave the ring
1:52:47
and how unwillingly I left the ring when
nought would be accepted but the ring,
1:52:53
you would abate the strength
of your displeasure.
1:52:57
If you had known the virtue of the ring
1:53:03
or half her worthiness
who did give the ring,
1:53:07
or your own honour to contain the ring,
1:53:10
you would not then
have parted with the ring.
1:53:14
Nerissa teaches me what to believe.
1:53:16
L"ll die for it but some woman has that ring.
1:53:19
No, by honour, madam,
by my soul, no woman had it
1:53:23
but a civil doctor,
1:53:25
which did refuse three thousand ducats
of me and begged the ring
1:53:28
the which I did refuse him,
and suffered him, displeased, to go away,
1:53:31
even he that had held up
the very life of my dear friend.
1:53:36
What should I say, sweet lady?
1:53:42
I was enforced to send it after him.
1:53:44
Let not that doctor come near my house.
1:53:46
Since he has got the jewel that I loved and
that which you did swear to keep for me,
1:53:53
I will become as liberal as you -
1:53:57
I"ll not deny him anything I have.
