ACT II - SCENE III. The same. A room in SHYLOCK'S house.
Enter JESSICA and LAUNCELOT

JESSICA
1    I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so:
2    Our house is hell, and thou, a merry devil,
3    Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness.
4    But fare thee well, there is a ducat for thee:
5    And, Launcelot, soon at supper shalt thou see
6    Lorenzo, who is thy new master's guest:
7    Give him this letter; do it secretly;
8    And so farewell: I would not have my father
9    See me in talk with thee.
LAUNCELOT
10   Adieu! tears exhibit my tongue. Most beautiful
11   pagan, most sweet Jew! if a Christian did not play
12   the knave and get thee, I am much deceived. But,
13   adieu: these foolish drops do something drown my
14   manly spirit: adieu.
JESSICA
15   Farewell, good Launcelot.
Exit Launcelot
16   Alack, what heinous sin is it in me
17   To be ashamed to be my father's child!
18   But though I am a daughter to his blood,
19   I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo,
20   If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,
21   Become a Christian and thy loving wife.
Exit
