Shy.
Goaler, look to him: tell not me of mercy.
This is the fool that lent out mony gratis.
Goaler, look to him.

Ant.
Hear me yet, good Shylock.

Shy.
I'll have my bond; speak not against my bond:
I've sworn an oath that I will have my bond.
Thou call'dst me dog before thou hadst a cause;
But since I am a dog, beware my fangs:
The Duke shall grant me justice. I do wonder,
Thou naughty goaler, that thou art so fond
To come abroad with him at his request.

Ant.
I pray thee hear me speak.

Shy.
I'll have my bond: I will not hear thee speak:
I'll have my bond; and therefore speak no more;
I'll not be made a soft and dull-ey'd fool,
To shake the head, relent, and sigh and yield
To christian intercessors. Follow not;
I'll have no speaking; I will have my bond. [Exit Shylock.

Sola.
It is the most impenetrable cur

That ever kept with men.

Ant.
Let him alone,
I'll follow him no more with bootless pray'rs:
He seeks my life; his reason well I know;
I oft deliver'd from his forfeitures
Many that have at times made moan to me;
Therefore he hates me.

Sola.
I am sure the Duke
Will never grant this forfeiture to hold.

Ant.
The Duke cannot deny the course of law;
For the commodity that strangers have
With us in Venice, if it be deny'd,
Will much impeach the justice of the state,
Since that the trade and profit of the city
Consisteth of all nations. Therefore go,
These griefs and losses have so bated me,
That I shall hardly spare a pound of flesh
To-morrow to my bloody creditor.
Well, goaler, on; pray God Bassanio come
To see me pay his debt, and then I care not! [Exeunt.
