Salanio
Here comes another of the tribe: a third cannot be matched, unless the devil himself turn Jew.

Shylock
How now, Tubal! what news from Genoa? hast thou found my daughter?
Tubal
I often came where I did hear of her, but cannot find her.
Shylock
Why, there, there, there, there! a diamond gone, cost me two thousand ducats in Frankfort! The curse never fell upon our nation till now; I never felt it till now: two thousand ducats in that; and other precious, precious jewels. I would my daughter were dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear! would she were hearsed at my foot, and the ducats in her coffin! No news of them? Why, so: and I know not what’s spent in the search: why, thou loss upon loss! the thief gone with so much, and so much to find the thief; and no satisfaction, no revenge: nor no in luck stirring but what lights on my shoulders; no sighs but of my breathing; no tears but of my shedding.
Tubal
Yes, other men have ill luck too: Antonio, as I heard in Genoa,—
Shylock
What, what, what? ill luck, ill luck?
Tubal
Hath an argosy cast away, coming from Tripolis.
Shylock
I thank God, I thank God. Is’t true, is’t true?
