28 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE [ACT H. ^^away !^^ says the fiend; ^^for the heavens, rouse up a brave mind," says the fiend, ^^and run. ^^ Well, my conscience, hanging about the neck of my heart, says very wisely to me,^^ My honest friend Launcelot, being an honest man's son,^' — or rather an honest woman's son; — for, indeed, my father did something smack,® something grow to,® he had a kind of taste; — well, my conscience says, "Launcelot, budge not." "Budge,-' says the fiend. "Budge not," says my conscience. "Conscience," say I, "you counsel well;"2c " Fiend," say I, " you counsel well:" to be ruled by my conscience, I should stay with the Jew my master, who, God bless the mark,® is a kind of devil; and, to run away from the Jew, I should be ruled by the fiend, who, saving your reverence,® is the devil himself. Certainly the Jew is the very devil incarnal®; and, in my conscience, my conscience is but a kind of hard conscience,® to offer to counsel me to stay with the Jew. The fiend gives the more friendly counsel: I will run, fiend; my heels are at your command; I?c will run.® Enter OLD GOBBO, with a basket. Gob. Master® young man, you, I pray you, which is the way to master Jew's ?

Turn up on your right hand at the next turning, but, at the next turning of all, on your left; 4° marry,® at the very next turning, turn of no hand, but turn down indirectly to the Jew's house. Qob. By God's sonties,® 'twill be a hard way to hit. Can you tell me whether one Launcelot, that dwells with him, dwell with him or no ? Laun. Talk you of young Master Launcelot ? [J.st(ie] Mark me now; now will I raise the waters. Talk you of young Master Launcelot ? Gob. No master, sir, but a poor man's son: his father, though I say it, is an honest exceeding® poor s^ man, and, God be thanked, well to live.® Laun. Well, let his father be what a'® will, we talk of young Master Launcelot. Gob. Your worship's friend, and Launcelot, sir. Laun. But I pray you, ergo,® old man, ergo, I beseech you, talk you of young Master Launcelot ? Gob. Of Launcelot, an't® please your mastership. Laun. Ergo, Master Launcelot. Talk not of Mas-
