Klimt The Kiss (Le Baiser _ Il Baccio) painting
Seignac L'Abandon painting was beset with shame and courtesy;My honour would not let ingratitudeSo much besmear it. Pardon me, good lady;For, by these blessed candles of the night,Had you been there, I think you would have begg'dThe ring of me to give the worthy doctor.
PORTIA
Let not that doctor e'er come near my house:Since he hath got the jewel that I loved,And that which you did swear to keep for me,I will become as liberal as you;I'll not deny him any thing I have,No, not my body nor my husband's bed:Know him I shall, I am well sure of it:Lie not a night from home; watch me like Argus:If you do not, if I be left alone,Now, by mine honour, which is yet mine own,I'll have that doctor for my bedfellow.
NERISSA
And I his clerk; therefore be well advisedHow you do leave me to mine own protection.
GRATIANO
Well, do you so; let not me take him, then;For if I do, I'll mar the young clerk's pen.
