:23:00
Shylock...
:23:03
I will seal unto this bond.
:23:20
Dislike me not for my complexion,
:23:23
the shadowed livery of the burnished sun,
to whom I am a neighbour and near bred.
:23:29
Yallah! Yallah!
:23:32
Bring me the fairest creature
northward born,
:23:34
where the sun"s fire
scarce thaws the icicles,
:23:37
and let us make incision for your love
:23:40
to prove whose blood is reddest,
his or mine.
:23:44
I tell thee,
:23:46
lady, this aspect of mine
hath feared the valiant.
:23:50
Yea, by my love I swear, the most regarded
virgins of our clime have loved it too.
:23:58
I would not change this hue, except
to steal your thoughts, my gentle queen.
:24:05
In terms of choice, I am not solely led
by nice direction of a maiden"s eyes.
:24:10
Instead, the lottery of my destiny bars me
the right of voluntary choosing.
:24:15
But if my father had not restrained me,
:24:19
and hedged me by his wit
to yield myself as wife
:24:22
to him who wins me
by that means I told you,
:24:26
yourself, renowned prince,
:24:30
then stood as fair as... any comer
I have looked on yet for my affection.
:24:34
Even for that, I thank you.
:24:38
Therefore, I pray you, lead me
to the caskets to try my fortune.
:24:42
Yes?
:24:57
I pray you, Leonardo, these
things being bought and orderly bestowed,
