This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Critical Comments. I. Argument. I. Antonio, a merchant of Venice, has many dear friends who are beholden to him for his good qualities; but most of all he loves Bassanio, for whom he would make any sacrifice. Bassanio is in love with Portia, a wise and wealthy lady, but since he lacks worldly means wherewith to press his suit, he is constrained to borrow of his friend Antonio three thousand ducats ere he can visit her. Antonio's wealth is entirely represented, just then, by various ships at sea. However, he bethinks himself of a Jewish money-lender named Shylock, who lends him the money, under agreement that Antonio shall forfeit a pound of his flesh in default of payment on the day his bond falls due. II. Although the Jew stipulates this forfeiture in seeming jest, he is nevertheless deeply in earnest, for he has long held a grudge against Antonio; and his rancour is strengthened at this juncture by the elopement of his only daughter, Jessica, with Lorenzo, another of Antonio's friends. Before Portia's father died he made a curious provision in his will concerning her marriage, whereby her hand was to be given to the suitor who should choose that one of three caskets?respectively of gold, silver, and lead?containing her portrait. The choice of caskets baffles more than one. III. Bassanio arrives at Portia's house, and, much to her delight, rightly chooses the leaden casket. They plighttheir troth. But Bassanio's joy is overcast by the receipt of a letter from Antonio, advising him of the loss of the merchant's cargoes by shipwreck; and that the Jew is insistent upon the letter of his bond. Bassanio hastens back to his friend's succour. Portia privately resolves to be at the trial of Antonio. IV. Portia obtains from a kinsman the costume of a doctor of laws, inv..., 14021187011, Geral, 7882711011, História, 7882627011, Inglês e Outras Línguas, 7841278011, Categorias, 6740748011, Livros, 14025377011, Shakespeare, 14025375011, Britânica, 14025374011, Literatura Mundial, 7882715011, Literatura e Ficção, 7882627011, Inglês e Outras Línguas, 7841278011, Categorias, 6740748011, Livros, 14025426011, Britânicos e Irlandeses, 14025425011, Autores Individuais, 14025414011, Poesia, 7882715011, Literatura e Ficção, 7882627011, Inglês e Outras Línguas, 7841278011, Categorias, 6740748011, Livros, 12008779011, História, 12008774011, Humanas, 12008752011, Inglês e Outras Línguas, 12008582011, Volta às Aulas, 8169562011, Custom Stores, 8169561011, Specialty Stores, 6740748011, Livros, 12008782011, Literatura, 12008774011, Humanas, 12008752011, Inglês e Outras Línguas, 12008582011, Volta às Aulas, 8169562011, Custom Stores, 8169561011, Specialty Stores, 6740748011, Livros<

If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o''er my ear like the sweet sound, That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more: ''Tis not so sweet now as it was before. O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou! That, notwithstanding thy capacity 10 Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Of what validity and pitch soe''er, But falls into abatement and low price, Even in a minute! so full of shapes is fancy, That it alone is high fantastical. Cur. Will you go hunt, my lord? Duke. What, Curio? Cur. The hart. Duke. Why, so I do. the noblest that I have: O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first. Methought she purged the air of pestilence! 20 That instant was I turn''d into a hart; And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds, E''er since pursue me. Enter Valentine. How now? what news from her? Val. So please my lord, I might not be admitted; But from her handmaid do return this answer; The element itself, till seven years'' heat, Shall not behold her face at ample view; But, like a cloistress, she will veiled walk And water once a day her chamber round With eye-offending brine: all this to season 30 A brother''s dead love, which she would keep fresh And lasting in her sad remembrance. Duke. O, she that hath a heart of that fine frame To pay this debt of love but to a brother, How will she love, when the rich golden shaft Hath kill''d the flock of all affections else That live in her; when liver, brain and heart, These sovereign thrones, are...
