Стр. 61 - And so I was, which plainly signified That I should snarl, and bite, and play the dog. Then, since the heavens have shap'd my body so, Let hell make crook'd my mind to answer it. I have no brother, I am like no brother; And this word 'love,' which greybeards call divine, Be resident in men like one another, And not in me!
Стр. 82 - Signior Antonio, many a time and oft In the Rialto you have rated me About my moneys and my usances : Still have I borne it with a patient shrug, For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe. You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog, And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine, And all for use of that which is mine own.

Стр. 39 - Albeit the world think Machiavel is dead, Yet was his soul but flown beyond the Alps ; And, now the Guise* is dead, is come from France, To view this land, and frolic with his friends. To some perhaps my name is odious ; But such as love me, guard me from their tongues, And let them know that I am Machiavel, And weigh not men, and therefore not men's words.
Стр. 40 - But whither am I bound? I come not, I, To read a lecture here in Britain, But to present the tragedy of a Jew, 30 Who smiles to see how full his bags are crammed, Which money was not got without my means.
Стр. 45 - Maintain it bravely by firm policy; At least, unprofitably lose it not; For he that liveth in authority, And neither gets him friends nor fills his bags, Lives like the ass that ^Esop speaketh of.
Стр. 151 - That ({raw the subtile and more piercing air, In that sublimed region of a court, Know all is good, we make so; and go on Secured by the prosperity of our crimes.
