He shall do this, or else I do recant  
The pardon that I late pronounced here.  
PORTIA  
Art thou contented, Jew? what dost thou say?  
SHYLOCK  
I am content.  
PORTIA  
Clerk, draw a deed of gift.  
SHYLOCK  
I pray you, give me leave to go from hence;  
I am not well: send the deed after me,  
And I will sign it.  
DUKE  
Get thee gone, but do it.  
GRATIANO  
In christening shalt thou have two god-fathers:  
Had I been judge, thou shouldst have had ten more,  
To bring thee to the gallows, not the font.  
Exit SHYLOCK  
DUKE  
Sir, I entreat you home with me to dinner.  
PORTIA  
I humbly do desire your grace of pardon:  
I must away this night toward Padua,  
And it is meet I presently set forth.  
DUKE  
I am sorry that your leisure serves you not.  
Antonio, gratify this gentleman,  
For, in my mind, you are much bound to him.  
Exeunt Duke and his train  
BASSANIO  
Most worthy gentleman, I and my friend  
Have by your wisdom been this day acquitted  
Of grievous penalties; in lieu whereof,  
Three thousand ducats, due unto the Jew,  
We freely cope your courteous pains withal.  
ANTONIO  
And stand indebted, over and above,  
In love and service to you evermore.  
PORTIA  
He is well paid that is well satisfied;  
And I, delivering you, am satisfied  
And therein do account myself well paid:  
My mind was never yet more mercenary.
