SCENE III. _Venice. A street._
_Enter_ SHYLOCK, SALARINO, ANTONIO, _and_ Gaoler.
_Shy._ Gaoler, look to him: tell not me of mercy;
This is the fool that lent out money gratis:
Gaoler, look to him.
_Ant._ Hear me yet, good Shylock.
_Shy._ I’ll have my bond; speak not against my bond:
I have sworn an oath that I will have my bond. 5
Thou call’dst me dog before thou hadst a cause;
But, since I am a dog, beware my fangs:
The Duke shall grant me justice. I do wonder,
Thou naughty gaoler, that thou art so fond
To come abroad with him at his request. 10
_Ant._ I pray thee, hear me speak.
_Shy._ I’ll have my bond; I will not hear thee speak:
I’ll have my bond; and therefore speak no more.
I’ll not be made a soft and dull-eyed fool,
To shake the head, relent, and sigh, and yield 15
To Christian intercessors. Follow not;
I’ll have no speaking: I will have my bond. [_Exit._
_Salar._ It is the most impenetrable cur
That ever kept with men.
_Ant._ Let him alone:
I’ll follow him no more with bootless prayers. 20
He seeks my life; his reason well I know:
I oft deliver’d from his forfeitures
Many that have at times made moan to me;
Therefore he hates me.
_Salar._ I am sure the Duke
Will never grant this forfeiture to hold. 25
