: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,
:25:02
return in haste, for I do feast tonight
my best esteemed acquaintance.
:25:08
Let supper be ready
at the latest by nine o"clock.
:25:13
See that these letters are delivered.
:25:17
And put the livery to the making.
:25:29
Certainly my conscience would forbid me
to run from this Jew, my master.
:25:34
Ho!
:25:38
I pray you, which way to the master Jew"s?
:25:41
Do you not know me, Father?
:25:44
Lord, how art thou changed!
:25:48
How dost thou and thy master agree?
I brought him a present.
:25:55
Famished in his service, Father.
L"m glad you"ve come.
:25:58
Give your present to one master Bassanio,
