The Merchant of Venice

Your minde is tossing on the Ocean, There where your Argosies with portly saile Like Signiors and rich Burgers on the flood, Or as it were the Pageants of the sea, Do ouer-peere the pettie Traffiquers That curtsie to them, do them reuerence As they flye by them with their wouen wings

你的心思在海洋上飘荡，在那里你的大船张着丰满的帆，就像海上显赫的贵族和富有的市民，或者说就像海上的游行队伍，他们俯瞰着那些小商人，向他们鞠躬，向他们致敬，当他们带着编织的翅膀飞过他们时

Beleeue me sir, had I such venture forth, The better part of my affections, would Be with my hopes abroad. I should be still Plucking the grasse to know where sits the winde, Peering in Maps for ports, and peers, and rodes: And euery obiect that might make me feare Misfortune to my ventures, out of doubt Would make me sad

相信我，先生，如果我有这样的冒险，我的大部分情感将会随我的希望而去。我会不断地拔草来判断风向，查看地图寻找港口、贵族和航线：任何可能让我担心我的冒险会遭遇不幸的事物，无疑会让我感到忧伤
