SCENE II. _The same. A street._
_Enter_ PORTIA _and_ NERISSA.
_Por._ Inquire the Jew’s house out, give him this deed
And let him sign it: we’ll away to-night
And be a day before our husbands home:
This deed will be well welcome to Lorenzo.
_Enter_ GRATIANO.
_Gra._ Fair sir, you are well o’erta’en: 5
My Lord Bassanio upon more advice
Hath sent you here this ring, and doth entreat
Your company at dinner.
_Por._ That cannot be:
His ring I do accept most thankfully:
And so, I pray you, tell him: furthermore, 10
I pray you, show my youth old Shylock’s house.
_Gra._ That will I do.
_Ner._ Sir, I would speak with you.
I’ll see if I can get my husband’s ring, [_Aside to Portia._
Which I did make him swear to keep for ever.
_Por._ [_Aside to Ner._] Thou mayst, I warrant. We shall
have old swearing 15
That they did give the rings away to men;
But we’ll outface them, and outswear them too.
[_Aloud_] Away! make haste: thou know’st where I will tarry.
_Ner._ Come, good sir, will you show me to this house?
[_Exeunt._

ACT V.
_Scene I._ _Belmont. Avenue to_ PORTIA’S _house_.
_Enter_ LORENZO _and_ JESSICA.
_Lor._ The moon shines bright: in such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
And sigh’d his soul toward the Grecian tents, 5
Where Cressid lay that night.
_Jes._ In such a night
Did Thisbe fearfully o’ertrip the dew,
And saw the lion’s shadow ere himself.
And ran dismay’d away.
_Lor._ In such a night
Stood Dido with a willow in her hand 10
Upon the wild sea-banks, and waft her love
To come again to Carthage.
_Jes._ In such a night
Medea gather’d the enchanted herbs
That did renew old Æson.
