LORENZO

Beshrew me but I love her heartily,
For she is wise, if I can judge of her,
And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,

And true she is, as she hath proved herself; [55]
And therefore, like herself, wise, fair, and true,
Shall she be placèd in my constant soul.

Enter Jessica below.

What, art thou come? On, gentleman, away!
Our masquing mates by this time for us stay.

Exit with Jessica and Salerio.

Enter Antonio.

ANTONIO
Who’s there? [60]

GRATIANO
Signor Antonio?

ANTONIO
Fie, fie, Gratiano! Where are all the rest?
’Tis nine o’clock; our friends all stay for you.

No masque tonight. The wind is come about;
Bassanio presently will go aboard. [65]
I have sent twenty out to seek for you.

GRATIANO
I am glad on’t. I desire no more delight

Than to be under sail and gone tonight.
Exeunt.
