Lorenzo here Shall witness I set forth as soon as you； And even but now
return'd； I have not yet Enter'd my house。 Antonio； you are welcome； And
I have better news in store for you Than you expect。 Unseal this letter
soon； There you shall find three of your argosies Are richly come to

ships Are safely come to road。 PORTIA。 How now； Lorenzo！ My clerk
hath some good comforts too for you。 NERISSA。 Ay； and I'll give them

come； I should wish it dark； Till I were couching with the doctor's clerk。
Well； while I live； I'll fear no other thing So sore as keeping safe Nerissa's
