                VENICE. A STREET.


   SHYLOCK SALARINO, ANTONIO, and GAOLER.


   ShyZock.-Gaoler, look to him: tell not me of mercy;
This is the fool that lent out money gratis:
Gaoler, look to him.
   Antonio.-    Hear me yet, good Shylock.
   Shylock.-I'll have my bond; speak not against my bond:
I have sworn an oath that I xviii have my bond.
Thou call'dst me dog before thou hadst a cause;
But since I am a dog, beware my fangs:
The duke shall grant me justice.  I do wonder,
Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond
To come abroad with him at his request.
   An/onio.-I pray thee, hear me speak.
   Sliylock.-I'll have my bond; I will not hear thee speak:
 I'll have my bond; and therefore speak no more.
 I'll not be made a soft and dull-eyed fool,
 To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield
 To Christian intercessors.  Follow not;
 I'll have no speaking: I will have my bond.
