SCENE: Partly at Venice, and partly at Belmont, the seat of

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad; It wearies me; you say it wearies you;

But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,

What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn;

And such a want-wit sadness makes of me That I have much ado to know myself.

Your mind is tossing on the ocean; There where your argosies, with portly sail--

Like signiors and rich burghers on the flood, Or as it were the pageants of the sea--

Do overpeer the petty traffickers, That curtsy to them, do them reverence,

As they fly by them with their woven wings.

Believe me, sir, had I such venture forth, The better part of my affections would

I should be still Plucking the grass to know where sits the

wind, Peering in maps for ports, and piers, and

roads; And every object that might make me fear

Misfortune to my ventures, out of doubt Would make me sad.

My wind, cooling my broth Would blow me to an ague, when I thought

What harm a wind too great might do at sea.

I should not see the sandy hour-glass run But I should think of shallows and of flats,

And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand, Vailing her high top lower than her ribs

Should I go to church And see the holy edifice of stone,

And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks, Which, touching but my gentle vessel's side,

Would scatter all her spices on the stream, Enrobe the roaring waters with my silks,

And, in a word, but even now worth this, And now worth nothing?

Shall I have the thought To think on this, and shall I lack the thought

That such a thing bechanc'd would make me sad?

But tell not me; I know Antonio Is sad to think upon his merchandise.

Believe me, no; I thank my fortune for it, My ventures are not in one bottom trusted,

Nor to one place; nor is my whole estate Upon the fortune of this present year;

Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad.

Then let us say you are sad Because you are not merry; and 'twere as easy

For you to laugh and leap and say you are merry,

Now, by two-headed Janus, Nature hath fram'd strange fellows in her

time: Some that will evermore peep through their

eyes, And laugh like parrots at a bag-piper;

And other of such vinegar aspect That they'll not show their teeth in way of

smile Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable.

Here comes Bassanio, your most noble kinsman, Gratiano, and Lorenzo.

Fare ye well; We leave you now with better company.

I would have stay'd till I had made you merry, If worthier friends had not prevented me.

I take it your own business calls on you, And you embrace th' occasion to depart.

You grow exceeding strange; must it be so?

We'll make our leisures to attend on yours.

My Lord Bassanio, since you have found Antonio, We two will leave you; but at dinner-time,

I pray you, have in mind where we must meet.

You look not well, Signior Antonio; You have too much respect upon the world;

They lose it that do buy it with much care.

Believe me, you are marvellously chang'd.

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage, where every man must play a part,
