Shylock's Coin Purse


 * "This kindness will I show.
 * Go with me to a notary, seal me there
 * Your single bond; and, in a merry sport,
 * If you repay me not on such a day,
 * In such a place, such sum or sums as are
 * Express’d in the condition, let the forfeit
 * Be nominated for an equal pound
 * Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
 * In what part of your body pleaseth me"-The Merchan of Venice (act 1, scene 3)
