THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
PORTIA dressed like a lawyer)
A pound of the merchant's flesh is yours.
The court awards it and the law authorises it.
SHYLOCK
What a righteous judge!
PORTIA
And you must cut this flesh from his chest.
The law allows it, and the court awards it.
SHYLOCK
What a wise judge! A sentence! Get ready!
PORTIA
Wait a moment, there is something else.
This contract does not give you any blood.
The exact words are 'a pound of flesh'.
So take your price of a pound of flesh.
But while you are cutting it, if you spill
One drop of blood, you will die and everything you own
According to the laws of Venice will be confiscated
By the state of Venice.
BASSANIO
What an upright judge! Pay attention! What a wise judge.
SHYLOCK
Is that the law?
PORTIA
You shall see for yourself.
For as you asked for justice, rest assured,
You shall have more justice than you want.
BASSANIO
What a wise judge! Pay attention to a wise judge!
SHYLOCK
I'll take their offer of two times the loan, then.
And let the merchant go.
BASSANIO
Here is the money.
PORTIA
Wait!
The man shall have justice. Wait! Don't rush!
He shall have nothing except the penalty.
BASSANIO
O! An upright judge, a wise judge!
PORTIA
So, get ready to cut off the flesh.
Don't spill any blood or cut any more or less
Than a pound of flesh. If you cut any more
Or less than exactly a pound, even as much
To make the weight lighter or heavier
By a fraction of a twentieth
of an ounce, no, even if the scale turns
By as much as a hair,
You will die and all your possessions will be confiscated.
