[068] Shy. How now, Tubal! what news from Genoa? hast thou found my daughter?
070 Tub. I often came where I did hear of her, but cannot find her.
Shy. 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 075 thousand ducats in that; and other precious, precious jewels. I would my daughter were dead at my foot, and the [077] jewels in her ear! would she were hearsed at my foot, and [078] the ducats in her coffin! No news of them? Why, so:— [079] and I know not what’s spent in the search: why, thou loss 080 upon loss! the thief gone with so much, and so much to find the thief; and no satisfaction, no revenge: nor no ill [082] luck stirring but what lights on my shoulders; no sighs but of my breathing; no tears but of my shedding.
Tub. Yes, other men have ill luck too: Antonio, as I [085] heard in Genoa,—
[086] Shy. What, what, what? ill luck, ill luck?
Tub. Hath an argosy cast away, coming from Tripolis.
[088] Shy. I thank God, I thank God! Is’t true, is’t true?
Tub. I spoke with some of the sailors that escaped the 090 wreck.
[091] Shy. I thank thee, good Tubal: good news, good [092] news! ha, ha! where? in Genoa?
[093] Tub. Your daughter spent in Genoa, as I heard, in one night fourscore ducats.
