Answer:
Nestor is an allusion used in the Merchant of Venice. He is an old and wise Greek general, who fought in the Trojan War; a joke had to be extremely funny if Nestor laughed at it.
He is referred in the context to show the second type of people who do not laugh at a joke even when Nestor laughs at it. He is referred in the context to describe the sad and grave people.
