Portia Monologue from The Merchant of Venice

From The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

female · contemplative · 35 sec

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.
