1 Inquire the Jew's house out, give him this deed 2 And let him sign it: we'll away to-night 3 And be a day before our husbands home: 4 This deed will be well welcome to Lorenzo.
Enter GRATIANO
GRATIANO
5 Fair sir, you are well o'erta'en 6 My Lord Bassanio upon more advice 7 Hath sent you here this ring, and doth entreat 8 Your company at dinner.
PORTIA
9 That cannot be: 10 His ring I do accept most thankfully: 11 And so, I pray you, tell him: furthermore, 12 I pray you, show my youth old Shylock's house.
GRATIANO
13 That will I do.
NERISSA
14 Sir, I would speak with you. Aside to PORTIA 15 I'll see if I can get my husband's ring, 16 Which I did make him swear to keep for ever.
PORTIA
Aside to NERISSA 17 Thou mayst, I warrant. 18 We shall have old swearing 19 That they did give the rings away to men; 20 But we'll outface them, and outswear them too. Aloud 21 Away! make haste: thou knowist where I will tarry.
NERISSA
22 Come, good sir, will you show me to this house?
