GRATIANO. And I must to Lorenzo and the rest; But we will visit you at supper-time.
[ Exeunt.] SCENE 3. The same. A room in SHYLOCK ' s house. [ Enter JESSICA and LAUNCELOT.]
JESSICA. I am sorry thou wilt leave my father so: Our house is hell, and thou, a merry devil, Didst rob it of some taste of tediousness. But fare thee well; there is a ducat for thee; And, Launcelot, soon at supper shalt thou see Lorenzo, who is thy new master ' s guest: Give him this letter; do it secretly. And so farewell. I would not have my father See me in talk with thee.
LAUNCELOT. Adieu! tears exhibit my tongue. Most beautiful pagan, most sweet Jew! If a Christian do not play the knave and get thee, I am much deceived. But, adieu! these foolish drops do something drown my manly spirit; adieu!
JESSICA. Farewell, good Launcelot.
[ Exit LAUNCELOT ]
