Enter a SERVINGMAN
How now! what news? SERVINGMAN.The four strangers seek for you, madam, to take their leave; and there is a forerunner come from a fifth, the Prince of Morocco, who brings word the Prince his master will be here to-night.PORTIA.If I could bid the fifth welcome with so good heart as I can bid the other four farewell, I should be glad of his approach; if he have the condition of a saint and the complexion of a devil, I had rather he should shrive me than wive me.Come, Nerissa.Sirrah, go before.Whiles we shut the gate upon one wooer, another knocks at the door.
