When, in Act II, Scene V, of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, the Jewish money-lender Shylock says to his insolent daughter Jessica "fast bind, fast find, a proverb never stale in thrifty mind," he is instructing her to secure herself within their home lest she fall victim to the temptations of the outside world, namely, the romantic attentions of Lorenzo. Shylock's point is that a daughter locked up is a daughter that will be there when he returns from his errand . I hope this is the answer u were searching for

Answer: Shylock is convinced that Launcelot's tendency to waste money will forthwith come at Bassanio's expense instead of his own. The phrase “fast bind, fast find,” uttered in the context of Shylock's bidding his daughter goodnight, simply means “secure your possessions or they surely will be stolen.”
