Lorenzo here Shall witness I set forth as soon as you； And even but now
return'd； I have not yet Enter'd my house。 Antonio； you are welcome； And
I have better news in store for you Than you expect。 Unseal this letter

come； I should wish it dark； Till I were couching with the doctor's clerk。
Well； while I live； I'll fear no other thing So sore as keeping safe Nerissa's
