1:05:01
Giddy in spirit, still gazing in a doubt
1:05:04
As doubtful whether what I see be true
1:05:08
Until confirmed, signed, ratified
1:05:13
by you
1:05:22
You see me, lord Bassanio,
where I stand, such as I am.
1:05:27
Though for myself alone
1:05:29
I would not be ambitious in my wish
to wish myself much better,
1:05:34
yet for you,
1:05:36
I would be treble twenty times myself.
1:05:42
A thousand times more fair,
1:05:45
ten thousand times more rich,
1:05:47
that only to stand high in your account,
I might in virtues, beauties,
1:05:53
livings, friends,
1:05:58
exceed account.
1:06:01
But the full sum of me
1:06:04
is sum of something
which, to term in gross,
1:06:09
is an unlessoned girl,
1:06:12
unschooled, unpractised.
1:06:18
Happy in this,
she is not yet so old that she may learn.
1:06:22
Happier than this,
she is not bred so dull that she may learn.
1:06:28
Happiest of all,
1:06:31
is that her gentle spirit
commits itself to yours to be directed
1:06:37
as by her governor,
1:06:39
her lord,
1:06:43
her king.
1:06:49
This house, these servants,
1:06:54
and this same myself
1:06:57
are yours,
1:06:59
my lord"s.
