<strong>SHYLOCK</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Merchant</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Venice</strong> <strong>By</strong> <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Vigny</strong><br />
Alone, I would blush for having been able to forget myself,<br />
To the point <strong>of</strong> wearing the clothes <strong>of</strong> a cavalier for you.<br />
Watch this box, it's worth the trouble.<br />
LORENZO: (passing it to Gratiano) What's it matter! come! let's leave!<br />
JESSICA: No, It isn't full.<br />
And I want to add a diamond to it.<br />
LORENZO: No, Jessica, come.<br />
JESSICA: Wait a moment.<br />
(Jessica goes back in.)<br />
GRATIANO: Eh! by my chaperon! that charming girl<br />
Is Jewish if you like, as for me, I say she is genteel!<br />
LORENZO: Friend, I believe her good, and see she's beautiful.<br />
I'm testing her sincerity and adore her three times as much.<br />
(to Jessica who returns)<br />
Ah! there you are! Let's leave quick.<br />
JESSICA: I am trembling!<br />
GRATIANO: (shouting) <strong>The</strong> maskers are coming, you have only a moment.<br />
LORENZO: Come! <strong>The</strong> street's <strong>de</strong>serted and the gondola is waiting.<br />
