:19:01
Still, I have borne it with a patient shrug,
:19:06
for sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
:19:10
You call me misbeliever,
:19:13
cut-throat dog,
:19:15
and spit upon my Jewish gaberdine.
:19:18
And all for use of that which is my own.
:19:22
Well, it now appears you need my help.
:19:28
You come to me and you say,
"Shylock, we would have money. "
:19:33
You say so. You, that did void
your rheum upon my beard
:19:39
and kick me as you spurn a stranger cur
over your threshold.
:19:43
Money is your suit.
What should I say to you?
:19:48
Should I not say, "Hath a dog money?
:19:53
"Is it possible a cur can lend
three thousand ducats?"
:19:57
Or shall I bend low
:19:59
and, in a slavish voice, with bated breath
and whispering humbleness say this -
:20:04
"Fair sir, you spat on me
on Wednesday last,
:20:08
"you spurned me such a day,
another time you called me dog.
:20:11
"For these courtesies,
I"ll lend you thus much moneys. "
:20:14
I"m as like to call you so again,
to spit on you again, to spurn you too.
:20:18
If you would lend this money,
lend it not unto your friends.
:20:22
For when did friendship take
a breed for barren metal from his friends?
:20:25
Lend it rather to your enemy who,
if he break,
:20:28
you may with better face exact the penalty.
:20:30
Why, look how you storm.
I would be friends with you
:20:34
and have your love.
:20:36
Forget the stains
that you have shamed me with.
:20:42
Supply your present wants, and take not
a drop of interest for my moneys...
:20:49
...and you"ll not hear me.
:20:52
This is kind I offer.
:20:56
- This is kindness.
- No...
:20:59
This kindness I will show.
