42 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE [ACT IL Fast bind, fast find, A proverb never stale in thrifty mind. \JExit Jes. Farewell; and if my fortune be not crost,° I have a father, you a daughter, lost. [Exit SCENE VI. The same. Enter GRATIANO and SALARINO, masqued. Gra. This is the pent-house° under which Lorenzo Desired us to make stand. Salar. His hour° is almost past. Gra. And it is marvel he out-dwells his hour, For lovers ever run before the clock. Salar. 0, ten times faster Venus' pigeons^ fly To seal love's bonds new-made, than they are wont To keep obliged^ faith unforfeited! Gra. That ever holds: who riseth from a feast With that keen appetite that he sits 9.own ? Where is the horse that doth untread again ic His tedious measures with the i;inbated fire That he did pace them first ? All things that are, Are with more spirit chased^ than enjoy'd.\ How like a younker^ or a prodigal
SCENE 6.] THE MERCHANT OF VENICE 43 The scarfed" bark puts from her native bay, Hugg'd and embraced by the strumpet wind I How like the prodigal doth she return, With over-weather'd ribs and ragged sails. Lean, rent, and beggar'd by the strumpet wind! Salar. Here comes Lorenzo: more of this hereafter. 20 Enter LORENZO. Lor. Sweet friends, your patience for my long abode; Not I, but my affairs, have made you wait: When you shall please to play the thieves for wives, I'll watch as long for you then. Approach; Here dwells my father Jew. Ho! who's within ? Enter JESSICA, above, in boy's clothes. Jes. Who are you ? Tell me, for more certainty. Albeit I'll swear that I do know your tongue. Lor. Lorenzo, and thy love. Jes. Lorenzo, certain; and my love, indeed. For who love I so much ? And now who knows" 30 But you, Lorenzo, whether I am yours ? Lor. Heaven and thy thoughts are witness that thou art.
