ICSE WORKBOOK ON THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
the
ICE
107
3. Shylock
Why, there, there, there, there! a diamond gone, cost me two thousand ducats
in Frankfort! The curse never fell upon our nation till now; I never felt it till
now: two thousand ducats in that; and other precious, precious jewels. I would
my daughter were dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear! would she were
hearsed at my foot, and the ducats in her coffin! No news of them? Why, so: and
I know not what's spent in the search: why, thou loss upon loss! the thief gone
with so much, and so much to find the thief; and no satisfaction, no revenge:
nor no in luck stirring but what lights on my shoulders; no sighs but of my
breathing; no tears but of my shedding.
