Act IV

Duke
He shall do this, or else I do recant
The pardon that I late pronounced here.
Portia
Art thou contented, Jew? what dost thou say?
Shylock
I am content.
Portia
Clerk, draw a deed of gift.
Shylock
I pray you, give me leave to go from hence;
I am not well: send the deed after me,
And I will sign it.
Duke
Get thee gone, but do it.
Gratiano
In christening shalt thou have two god-fathers:
Had I been judge, thou shouldst have had ten more,
To bring thee to the gallows, not the font.
Exit Shylock .
Duke
Sir, I entreat you home with me to dinner.
Portia
I humbly do desire your grace of pardon:
I must away this night toward Padua,
And it is meet I presently set forth.
