Oscar Wilde - PortiaOscar Wilde - Portia
Work rating: Low


.        I MARVEL not Bassanio was so bold            To peril all he had upon the lead,            Or that proud Aragon bent low his head,          Or that Morocco`s fiery heart grew cold:          For in that gorgeous dress of beaten gold            Which is more golden than the golden sun,            No woman Veronesé looked upon          Was half so fair as thou whom I behold.          Yet fairer when with wisdom as your shield            The sober-suited lawyer`s gown you donned                          And would not let the laws of Venice yield            Antonio`s heart to that accursèd Jew—            O Portia! take my heart: it is thy due:          I think I will not quarrel with the Bond.
