Ready, so please your Grace.
Duke. I am sorry for thee ; thou art come to answer A stony adversary, an inhuman wretch Uncapable of pity, void and empty 5 From any dram of mercy.
Ant. I have heard Your Grace hath ta'en great pains to qualify His rigorous course ; but since he stands obdurate, And that no lawful means can carry me Out of his envy's reach, I do oppose 10 My patience to his fury, and am armed To suffer with a quietness of spirit The very tyranny and rage of his.
Duke. Go one, and c...all the Jew into the court.
Salerio. He is ready at the door; he comes, my lord. 15 Enter Shylock.
Duke. Make room, and let him stand before our face.
Shylock, the world thinks, and I think so too, That thou but lead'st this fashion of thy malice 68 act iv. sci.] MERCHANT OF VENICE 69 To the last hour of act ; and then 'tis thought Thou'lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange 20 Than is thy strange apparent cruelty ; And where thou now exact'st the penalty, Which is a pound of this poor merchant's flesh, Thou wilt not only loose the forfeiture, But touched with human gentleness and love, 25 Forgive a moiety of the principal ; Glancing an eye of pity on his losses That have of late so huddled on his back, Enow to press a royal merchant down, And pluck commiseration of his state 30 From brassy bosoms and rough hearts of flint, From stubborn Turks and Tartars, never trained To offices of tender courtesy.
