[321] But just a pound of flesh: if thou cut’st more

[322] Or less than a just pound, be it but so much

[323] As makes it light or heavy in the substance,

[324] Or the division of the twentieth part

[325] Of one poor scruple, nay, if the scale do turn

But in the estimation of a hair,

Thou diest and all thy goods are confiscate.

Gra. A second Daniel, a Daniel, Jew!

[329] Now, infidel, I have you on the hip.

[330] Por. Why doth the Jew pause? take thy forfeiture.
