So do I, my lord: They are entirely welcome.

I thank your honour. For my part, my lord, My purpose was not to have seen you here; But meeting with Salerio by the way, He did entreat me, past all saying nay, To come with him along.

I did, my lord; And I have reason for it. Signior Antonio Commends him to you. Gives Bassanio a letter.

Ere I ope his letter, I pray you, tell me how my good friend doth.

Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind; Nor well, unless in mind: his letter there Will show you his estate.
