Lorenzo
In such a night
Did Jessica steal from the wealthy Jew
And with an unthrift love did run from Venice
As far as Belmont.
Jessica
In such a night
Did young Lorenzo swear he loved her well,
Stealing her soul with many vows of faith
And ne’er a true one.
Lorenzo
In such a night
Did pretty Jessica, like a little shrew,
Slander her love, and he forgave it her.
