"Tis not unknown to you, Antonio,
how much I have disabled mine estate,
:09:20
but my chief care is to come
squarely out of the great debts
:09:24

:10:36
Her name is Portia, no less a beauty
than Cato"s daughter, Brutus" Portia.
:10:40
Nor is the wide world
ignorant of her worth,
:10:43
for the four winds blow in from every coast
renowned suitors.
:10:50
O my Antonio,
:10:53
had I but the means
to hold a rival place with one of them
