You may as well question with the wolf
1:24:07
why he has made
the ewe bleat for the lamb.

1:24:12
You may as well do anything most hard
1:24:15
as seek to soften that
1:24:19
than which what"s harder, his Jewish heart.
1:24:24
Therefore I do beseech you, make
no more offers, use no farther means,

1:24:29
but with all just and plain conveniency
let me have judgment

1:24:32
and the Jew his will.
1:24:34
No! No!
1:24:37
You loaned three thousand ducats.
1:24:43
Here is six.
1:25:06
If every ducat in six thousand ducats
1:25:11
were in six parts and every part a ducat
1:25:17
I would not draw them,
I would have my bond.

1:25:22
How shall you hope for mercy,
giving none?

1:25:25
What judgment should I fear,
doing no wrong?

1:25:28
You have among you
many a purchased slave,

1:25:31
which like your asses
and your dogs and mules,

1:25:34
you use in abject and in slavish parts
because you bought them.

1:25:39
Shall I say to you, let them be free?
1:25:42
Marry them to your heirs.
1:25:44
Why sweat they under burdens?
1:25:47
Let their beds be made as soft as yours.
1:25:51
Their palates seasoned with your food.
1:25:55
You will answer, "The slaves are ours. "
1:25:59
So do I answer you.
