SCENE III. Venice. SHYLOCK'S house

(Enter JESSICA and LANCELOT)

JESSICA: I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so. 1 Our house is hell; and thou, a merry devil, Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness. But fare thee well; there is a ducat for thee; And, Lancelot, soon at supper shalt thou see 5 Lorenzo, who is thy new master's guest. Give him this letter; do it secretly. And so farewell. I would not have my father See me in talk with thee.

LANCELOT: Adieu! tears exhibit my tongue. Most beautiful pagan, 10 most sweet Jew! If a Christian do not play the knave and get thee, I am much deceived. But, adieu! these foolish drops do something drown my manly spirit; adieu!

JESSICA: Farewell, good Lancelot.

(Exit LANCELOT)

JESSICA: Alack, what heinous sin is it in me 15 To be asham'd to be my father's child! But though I am a daughter to his blood, I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo, If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife, Become a Christian and thy loving wife. 20

(Exit)
