Por.
Inquire the Jew's house out, give him this deed,
And let him sign it. We'll away to-night,
And be a day before our husbands home.
This deed will be well welcome to Lorenzo. Enter Gratiano.

Gra.
Fair sir, you are well o'erta'en.
My lord Bassanio, upon more advice,
Hath sent you here this ring, and doth entreat
Your company at dinner.

Por.
That cannot be.
His ring I do accept8 note most thankfully,
And so, I pray you, tell him: furthermore,
I pray you, show my youth old Shylock's house.

But we'll outface them, and outswear them too.
Away! make haste: thou know'st where I will tarry.

Ner.
Come, good sir; will you show me to this house? [Exeunt.
