"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.
:21:05
Go with me to a notary
:21:08
and seal me there your single bond.
:21:12
And in a merry sport,
:21:14
if you repay me not on such a day
:21:17
in such a place, such a sum or sums
as are expressed in the condition,
:21:22
let the forfeit be nominated...
:21:25
for an equal pound of your fair flesh
:21:31
to be cut off and taken
:21:35
in what part of your body pleaseth me.
:21:50
Content, i"faith.
:21:54
L"ll seal to such a bond,
:21:56
and say there is much kindness in the Jew.
