Enter Shylock.

Duke. Make room, and let him stand before our face

Shylock, the world thinks, and I think so too,

That thou but lead’st this fashion of thy malice

To the last hour of act; and then ’tis thought

020 Thou’lt show thy mercy and remorse more strange

Than is thy strange apparent cruelty;

[022] And where thou now exact’st the penalty,

Which is a pound of this poor merchant’s flesh,

[024] Thou wilt not only loose the forfeiture,
