Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a
Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance
be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The 76
villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall
go hard but I will better the instruction.
Enter a man from Antonio.
Man. Gentlemen, my master Antonio is at his
house, and desires to speak with you both. 80
Salar. We have been up and down to seek
him.
Enter Tubal.
Salan. Here comes another of the tribe: a
third cannot be matched, unless the devil him- 84
self turn Jew.
Exeunt Gentlemen [i.e. Salanio, Salarino, and Antonio's man].
Shy. How now, Tubal! what news from Ge-
noa? Hast thou found my daughter?
Tub. I often came where I did hear of her, 88
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 92
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 96
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 100
thief; and no satisfaction, no revenge: nor no ill
74 humility: sufferance
99 Why thou; cf. n.
