All that glisters is not gold,<br />

Often have you heard that told:<br />

Many a man his life hath sold,<br />

But my outside to behold:<br />

Gilded tombs do worms enfold.(70)<br />

Had you been as wise as bold,<br />

Young in limbs, in judgment old,<br />

Your answer had not been inscroll'd:<br />

Fare you well; your suit is cold.<br />

Cold, indeed; and labour lost:(75)<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, farewell heat; and welcome frost.—<br />

Portia, adieu! I have too griev'd a heart<br />

To take a tedious leave. Thus losers part.<br />

Exit.<br />

PORTIA:<br />

A gentle riddance:—Draw the curtains, go;—<br />

Let all <strong>of</strong> his complexion choose me so.(80)<br />

Exeunt.<br />

Scene VIII<br />

[<strong>Venice</strong>]<br />

Enter Salerio and Solanio.<br />

SALERIO:<br />

Why, man, I saw Bassanio under sail;<br />

With him is Gratiano gone along;<br />

And in their ship, I am sure, Lorenzo is not.<br />

SOLANIO:<br />

<strong>The</strong> villain Jew with outcries rais'd the duke;<br />

Who went with him to search Bassanio's ship.(5)<br />

SALERIO:<br />

He came too late, the ship was under sail:<br />

But there the duke was given to understand,<br />

That in a gondola were seen together<br />

Lorenzo and his amorous Jessica;<br />

Besides, Antonio certified the duke,(10)<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were not with Bassanio in his ship.<br />

SOLANIO:<br />

I never heard a passion so confus'd,<br />

So strange, outrageous, and so variable,<br />

As the dog Jew did utter in the streets:<br />

My daughter!—O my ducats!—O my daughter!(15)<br />
