SOME PRESS NOTICES.
“ . . . There is, perhaps, no edition in which the works of Shakspere
can be read in such luxury of type and quiet distinction of form as this,
and we warmly recommend it.” — Fall Mall Gazette.
“ For elegance of form and beauty of typography, no edition of
Shakspere hitherto published has excelled the ‘ Parchment Library
Edition.’ . . . They are in the strictest sense pocket volumes, yet the
type is bold, and, being on fine white hand-made paper, can hardly tax
the weakest of sight. The print is judiciously confined to the text, notes
being more appropriate to library editions. The whole will be comprised
in the cream-coloured parchment which gives the name to the series.”

praise,” — Saturday Review.

4 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE Act 1
Salar. My wind, cooling my broth,
Would blow me to an ague, when I thought
What harm a wind too great might do at sea,
I should not see the sandy hour-glass run
But I should think of shallows and of flats,
And see my wealthy Andrew, dock’d in sand.
Vailing her high-top lower than her ribs
To kiss her burial. Should I to church
And see the holy edifice of stone.
And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks.
Which touching but my gentle vessel’s side.
Would scatter all her spices on the stream.
Enrobe the roaring waters with my silks.
And, in a word, but even now worth this.
And now worth nothing ? Shall I have the thought
To think on this, and shall I lack the thought
That such a thing bechanc’d would make me sad ?
But tell not me : I know Antonio
Is sad to think upon his merchandise.
Ant. Believe me, no : I thank my fortune for it.
My ventures are not in one bottom trusted.
Nor to one place ; nor is my whole estate
Upon the fortune of this present year :
Therefore my merchandise makes me not sad.
Salar. Why, then you are in love.
