=SCENE VIII. =

//Venice. A street//
===//Enter SALERIO and SALARINO// Salario and Salarino talk about the news they heard. Lorenzo appears to have run away with Jessica, who has stolen money from her father, and one of Antonio's ships appears to have wrecked. ===

 With him is Gratiano gone along; And in their ship I am sure Lorenzo is not.
 * SALARINO.** Why, man, I saw Bassanio under sail,

Who went with him to search Bassanio's ship. //**5**//
 * SOLANIO.** The villain Jew with outcries rais'd the Duke,

But there the Duke was given to understand That in a gondola were seen together Lorenzo and his amorous Jessica; Besides, Antonio certified the Duke //**10**// They were not with Bassanio in his ship.
 * SALARINO.** He came too late, the ship was under sail;

So strange, outrageous, and so variable, As the dog Jew did utter in the streets. 'My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter! //**15**// Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats! Justice! the law! My ducats and my daughter! A sealed bag, two sealed bags of ducats, Of double ducats, stol'n from me by my daughter! And jewels- two stones, two rich and precious stones, //**20**// Stol'n by my daughter! Justice! Find the girl; She hath the stones upon her and the ducats.'
 * SOLANIO.** I never heard a passion so confus'd;

Crying, his stones, his daughter, and his ducats SOLANIO.** Let good Antonio look he keep his day, //**25**// Or he shall pay for this.
 * SALARINO.** Why, all the boys in Venice follow him,

I reason'd with a Frenchman yesterday, Who told me, in the Narrow Seas that part The French and English, there miscarried //**30**// A vessel of our country richly fraught. I thought upon Antonio when he told me, And wish'd in silence that it were not his.
 * SALARINO.** Marry, well rememb'red;

Yet do not suddenly, for it may grieve him. //**35**//
 * SOLANIO.** You were best to tell Antonio what you hear;

I saw Bassanio and Antonio part. Bassanio told him he would make some speed Of his return. He answered 'Do not so; Slubber not business for my sake, Bassanio, //**40**// But stay the very riping of the time; And for the Jew's bond which he hath of me, Let it not enter in your mind of love; Be merry, and employ your chiefest thoughts To courtship, and such fair ostents of love //**45**// As shall conveniently become you there.' And even there, his eye being big with tears, Turning his face, he put his hand behind him, And with affection wondrous sensible He wrung Bassanio's hand; and so they parted. **//50//**
 * SALARINO.** A kinder gentleman treads not the earth.

I pray thee, let us go and find him out, And quicken his embraced heaviness With some delight or other.
 * SOLANIO.** I think he only loves the world for him.


 * SALARINO.** Do we so. //Exeunt//
