Question

That thou but lead’s this fashion of thy malice

To the last hour of act: and then ‘tis thought

Thou’lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange

Than is thy strange apparent cruelty;

And where thou now exact’st the penalty

Which is a pound of this poor man’s flesh,

Thou wil’t not only lose the forfeiture

But touch’d with human gentleness and love,

Forgive a moiety of the principal;

Glancing an eye of pity on his losses. who speak these line​
