18 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE [ACT L he hath an argosy bound to Tripolis, another to the Indies; I understand, moreover, upon the Rialto,® he hath a third at Mexico, a fourth for England, and2v other ventures he hath, squandered® abroad. But ships are but boards, sailors but men: there be landrats and water-rats, water-thieves and land-thieves, I mean pirates; and then there is the peril of waters, winds, and rocks. The man is, notwithstanding, sufficient. Three thousand ducats; I think I may take his bond. Bass. Be assured you may. Shy. I will be assured® I may; and, that I may be assured, I will bethink me. May I speak with Antonio ? 3
SCENE 3.] THE MERCHANT OF VENICE 19 But more for that in low simplicity He lends out money gratis and brings down The rate of usance® here with us in Venice. If I can catch him once upon the hip,® I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. He hates our sacred nation; and he rails,® Even there where merchants most do congregate, On me, my bargains, and my well-won thrift,® Which he calls interest. Cursed be my tribe. If I forgive him! Bass. Shylock, do you hear ? 50 Shy. I am debating of my present store; And, by the near guess of my memory, I cannot instantly raise up the gross Of full three thousand ducats. What of that ? Tubal, a wealthy Hebrew of my tribe. Will furnish me. But soft! how many months Do you desire? [To ANT.] Rest you fair, good signior; Your worship was the last man in our mouths.® Ant. Shylock, although I neither lend nor borrow. By taking nor by giving of excess, 60 Yet, to supply the ripe wants® of my friend, I'll break a custom. Is he yet possessed® How much ye would ?
