And I have reason for it. Signior AntonioCommends him to you.
[Gives Bassanio a letter]
BASSANIO
Ere I ope his letter,I pray you, tell me how my good friend doth.
SALERIO
Not sick, my lord, unless it be in mind;Nor well, unless in mind: his letter thereWill show you his estate.
GRATIANO
Nerissa, cheer yon stranger; bid her welcome.Your hand, Salerio: what's the news from Venice?How doth that royal merchant, good Antonio?I know he will be glad of our success;We are the Jasons, we have won the fleece.
SALERIO
I would you had won the fleece that he hath lost.
PORTIA
There are some shrewd contents in yon same paper,That steals the colour from Bassanio's cheek:Some dear friend dead; else nothing in the worldCould turn so much the constitutionOf any constant man. What, worse and worse!With leave, Bassanio: I am half yourself,And I must freely have the half of anythingThat this same paper brings you.
