82 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE [ACT III. When I am in my coach, which stays for us At the park-gate; and therefore haste away. For we must measure twenty miles® to-day. [Exeunt. SCENE V. The same. A garden. Enter LAUNCELOT and JESSICA. Laun. Yes, truly; for, look you, the sins of the father are to be laid upon the children: therefore, I promise ye, I fear you.® I was always plain with you, and so now I speak my agitation® of the matter: therefore be of good cheer; for, truly, I think you are damned. There is but one hope in it that can do you any good: and that is but a kind of bastard® hope neither. Jes. And what hope is that, I pray thee? Laun. Marry, you may partly hope that your lo father got® you not, that you are not the Jew's daughter. Jes. That were a kind of bastard hope, indeed; so the sins of my mother should be visited upon me. Laun. Truly then I fear you are damned both by father and mother: thus when I shun Scylla,® your
SCENE 5.] THE MERCHANT OF VENICE 83 father, I fall into Charybdis,®your mother: well, you are gone both ways. Jes. I shall be saved by my husband; he hath made me a Christian. Laun. Truly, the more to blame he: we were Christians enow before; e'en as many as could well live, one by another. This making of Christians will raise the price of hogs: if we grow all to be pork-eaters, we shall not shortly have a rasher on the coals for money. Enter LORENZO. Jes. I'll tell my husband, Launcelot, what you say: here he comes. Lor. I shall grow jealous of you shortly, Launcelot, if you thus get my wife into corners. Jes. Nay, you need not fear us, Lorenzo: Launcelot and I are out. He tells me flatly, there is no mercy for me in heaven, because I am a Jew's daughter: and he says, you are no good member of the commonwealth; for, in converting Jews to Christians, you raise the price of pork. Lor. I think the best grace of wit will shortly turn into silence; and discourse grow commendable® in none only but parrots. Go in, sirrah; bid them prepare for dinner.
