Irving as Shylewk 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 " )IGNOR ANTONIO, many a time and oft, 
 k)   On the Rialto, you have rated me 
      About my moneys and my usances, 
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug;, 
For suff'rance is the badge of all our tribe. 
You call me misbeliever, cut-throat, dog, 
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine, 
And all for use of that which is mine own. 
Well then, it now appears, you need my help; 
Go to then ; you come to me, and you say 
'Shylock, we would have moneys  You say so; 
              Should I not say, 
'Hath a dog money ? Is it possible 
A cur should lend three thousand ducats ? " or 
Shall I bend low, and in a bondsman's key, 
With bated breath, and whispering humbleness, 
Say this: 
'Fair Sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last; 
You spurned me such a day; another time 
You called me "dog; - and for these courtesies 
I'll lend You thus much moneys /' "
