1:50:00
You"re welcome home, my lord.
1:50:03
I thank you, madam.
Give welcome to my friend.
1:50:06
This is the man, this is Antonio
to whom I am so infinitely bound.
1:50:10
You should in all sense
be much bound to him,
1:50:12
for as I hear he was much bound for you.
1:50:15
No more than I am well acquitted of.
1:50:19
Sir, you are welcome to our house.
1:50:21
It must appear in other ways than words
so I cut short this breathing courtesy.
1:50:34
By yonder moon,
I swear you do me wrong.
1:50:38
In faith I gave it to the judge"s clerk.
1:50:41
Would he were gelded
that had it, for my part,
1:50:43
since you do take it, love,
so much at heart.
1:50:46
A quarrel, ho, already? What"s the matter?
1:50:48
About a hoop of gold,
a paltry ring that she did give me,
1:50:52
whose motto was for all the world
like cutler"s poetry upon a knife.
1:50:57
"Love me and leave me not. "
1:51:00
What talk you of the motto
or the value?
1:51:03
You swore to me when I did give it you
1:51:06
that you would wear it
till your hour of death
1:51:08
and that it should lie with you
in your grave.
1:51:12
Though not for me
yet for your vehement oaths
1:51:14
you should have been respective
and have kept it.
1:51:18
- Gave it to a judge"s clerk!
- I gave it to a youth,
1:51:22
a kind of boy, a little scrubbed boy,
no higher than thyself, the judge"s clerk.
1:51:27
You were to blame,
I must be plain with you,
1:51:30
to part so slightly with your wife"s first gift.
1:51:34
I gave my love a ring
and made him swear never to part with it.
1:51:39
And here he stands.
1:51:42
I dare be sworn for him,
he would not lose it
1:51:46
nor pluck it from his finger
for all the wealth that the world masters.
1:51:51
Why, I were best to cut my left hand off
and swear I lost the ring defending it.
1:51:56
- My lord Bassanio gave his ring away.
- Hm?
1:51:59
Unto the judge that begged it
and indeed deserved it, too.
