PORTIA
(TO ELLEN TERRY)
I MERVEL not Bassanio was so bold
To peril all he had upon the lead,
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 Veronese looked upon
Was half so fair as thou whom I behold.
Yet fairer when with wisdom as your donned,
And would not let the laws of Venice yield
Antonio's heart to that accursed Jew -
O Portia ! take my heart : it is thy due:
I think I will not quarrel with the Bond.
OSCAR WILDE
