More from The Merchant of Venice
- All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told; Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold.
- And I beseech you, Wrest once the law to your authority, To do a great right, do a little wrong, And curb this cruel devil of his will.
- But mercy is above this sceptered sway; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute of God himself.
- If every ducat in six thousand ducats Were in six parts, and every part a ducat I would not draw them. I would have my bond.
- If you repay not on such a day let the forfeit be an equal pound of your fair flesh.
- I’ll not be made a soft and dull eyed fool!
