Venice. A Street.
Enter PORTIA and NERISSA, still in disguise.
Portia Inquire the Jew's house out; give him this deed,
And let him sign it. We'll away tonight,
And be a day before our husbands home.
This deed will be well welcome to Lorenzo.
Enter GRATIANO.
Gratiano 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.
Portia That cannot be.
His ring I do accept most thankfully,
And so I pray you tell him. Furthermore,
I pray you show my youth old Shylock's house.
Gratiano That will I do.
Nerissa Sir, I would speak with you.
[Aside to PORTIA.] I'll see if I can get my husband's ring,
Which I did make him swear to keep for ever.
Portia Thou mayst, I warrant. We shall have old swearing
That they did give the rings away to men;
But we'll outface them, and outswear them too.
Away; make haste. Thou know'st where I will tarry.
Nerissa Come, good sir, will you show me to this house?
[Exeunt.
