Answer:
PORTIA : I never did regret doing good, And I won’t now; because in companions That talk and waste the time together, Whose souls bear an equal burden of love, There must be a sharing of things like proportion Of limbs, manners, and spirit, Which makes me think that this Antonio, Being the closest friend of my lord, Must be like my lord. If it’s true, How little is the cost I have paid In purchasing the image of my soul From out of the state of hellish cruelty! This sounds as if I am praising of myself; So, no more about it; listen to other things. Lorenzo, I am putting the farming And management of my house into your hands Until my lord’s return; as for me, I have taken a secret vow to heaven To live in prayer and contemplation, Only attended by Nerissa here, Until her husband and my lord’s return. There is a monastery two miles off, And we’ll stay there. I don’t want you To deny this imposition, Which my love and some necessity Now lays on you.
