the merchant of venice: forays into shakespeare




"My little body is aweary of this great world." Portia, Act I scene ii

"If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching." Act I scene ii
