In fact, Portia has nine suitors for her hand in marriage in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.

In act 1, scene 2, Portia describes six of the suitors to Nerissa, Portia's "waiting woman."

NERISSA. But what warmth is there in

your affection towards any of these princely suitors that

are already come?

PORTIA. I pray thee, over-name them; and as thou namest

them I will describe them; and according to my description

level at my affection. (1.2.30-35)

These six suitors don't appear in the play, but Portia paints a very clear picture of each of them.

Portia describes the Neapolitan prince as a man who "doth nothing but talk of his horse" and that "he can shoe him himself"
