My ventures are not in one bottom trusted,...

4

I,1,66

To whom you swore a secret pilgrimage,...

A thing not in his power to bring to pass,...

I,3,432

Well, Shylock, shall we be beholding to you?

I,3,456

I am as like to call thee so again,
To spit on thee again, to spurn thee too....

20

I,3,480

Content, i' faith: I'll seal to such a bond
And say there is much kindness in the Jew.

Within these two months, that's a month before...

Your grace hath ta'en great pains to qualify...

You may as well go stand upon the beach...

I am a tainted wether of the flock,
Meetest for death: the weakest kind of fruit...
