The quality of mercy is not strained.
I would not have given it for a wilderness of sweetmeats. All that glitters is not gold. I am a Jew. I am a daughter to his blood. I am not bound to please thee with my answer. If you prick us, do we not bleed? In sooth, I know not why I am so sad. The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. The man that hath no music in himself. The pound of flesh. The world is still deceived by ornament. What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. You may as well go stand upon the beach. The rest is silence. A stage where every man must play a part. Hath not a Jew eyes? I will have my bond. The Jew shall have my flesh. The best of the bond is, the flesh of me. You take my house when you do take the prop that doth sustain my house. Bassanio, my lord. You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog. I am glad of it. I have a great mind to see you. I would have you sing. I’ll hold thee any wager. A pound of flesh. The Jew shall have his bond. |
