:10:02
be assured my purse, my person,
my extremest means
:10:08
lie all unlocked to your occasion.
:10:13
In Belmont is a lady richly left -
:10:17
and she is fair, and fairer than that word -
:10:24
of wondrous virtues.
:10:26
Sometimes, from her eyes
I did receive fair...
:10:32
speechless messages.
: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
:11:00
then I should questionless be fortunate.
:11:07
Thou knowest my fortunes are at sea.
:11:15
Neither have I money nor commodity
to raise a present sum.
:11:28
Therefore, go forth.
:11:30
Try what my credit can in Venice do.
:11:38
It shall be racked, even to the uttermost,
to furnish you to Belmont,
:11:44
and fair Portia.
