Venice. A Room in Shylock's House.
 Enter JESSICA and LAUNCELOT.

Jessica	I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so.
	Our house is hell, and thou,a merry devil,
	Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness.
	But fare thee well; there is a ducat for thee;
	And Launcelot, soon at supper shalt thou see
	Lorenzo, who is thy new master's guest.
	Give him this letter - do it secretly.
	And so farewell; I would not have my father
	See me in talk with thee.

Launcelot	Adieu! Tears exhibit my tongue, most beautiful pagan, most 
	sweet Jew! If a Christian do not play the knave and get 
	thee, I am much deceived. But, adieu! These foolish drops do 
	something drown my manly spirit. Adieu!
														[Exit.
Jessica	Farewell, good Launcelot.
	Alack, what heinous sin is it in me
	To be ashamed to be my father's child!
	But though I am a daughter to his blood,
	I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo,
	If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,
	Become a Christian, and thy loving wife.
														[Exit.
