Venice. A Room in Shylock's House.
Enter JESSICA and LAUNCELOT.
Jessica I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so.
Our house is hell, and thou,a merry devil,
Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness.
But fare thee well; there is a ducat for thee;
And Launcelot, soon at supper shalt thou see
Lorenzo, who is thy new master's guest.
Give him this letter - do it secretly.
And so farewell; I would not have my father
See me in talk with thee.
Launcelot Adieu! Tears exhibit my tongue, most beautiful pagan, most
sweet Jew! If a Christian do not play the knave and get
thee, I am much deceived. But, adieu! These foolish drops do
something drown my manly spirit. Adieu!
[Exit.
Jessica Farewell, good Launcelot.
Alack, what heinous sin is it in me
To be ashamed to be my father's child!
But though I am a daughter to his blood,
I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo,
If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,
Become a Christian, and thy loving wife.
[Exit.
