Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect

The thoughts of others! Pray you, tell me this

If he should break his day, what should I gain

By the exaction of the forfeiture?

A pound of man's flesh, taken from a man,

Is not so estimable, profitable neither,

As flesh of muttons, beefs, or goats. I say,

To buy his favour I extend this friendship;

If he will take it, so; if not, adieu;

And, for my love, I pray you wrong me not.
