Her name was Portia, and in the graces of her person and her mind she was nothing inferior to that Portia, of whom we read, who was Cato's daughter and the wife of Brutus. Bassanio being so kindly supplied with money by his friend Antonio, at the hazard of his life, set out for Belmont with a splendid train and attended by a gentleman of the name of Gratiano.
Bassanio was very unhappy to have so offended his dear lady, and he said with great earnestness, "No, by my honour, no woman had it, but a civil doctor, who refused three thousand ducats of me, and begged the ring, which when I denied him, he went displeased away. What could I do, sweet Portia? I was so beset with shame for my seeming ingratitude, that I was forced to send the ring after him.
There was one large volume, and it was handed about the class; I was permitted to read the part of Bassanio, and I set forth, with ecstatic pipe, how In Belmont is a lady richly left, And she is fair, and fairer than that word! Mr.
He has just got that letter, you know." "What letter?" "Why, Antonio's letter. O don't you know the story? Bassanio was Antonio's friend, and O dear, it is a long story, Daisy. You must read it." "But what is the picture about?" "This.

Madam Ponisi used to play Portia, and so did Mrs. Hoey. In December 1858, when The Merchant of Venice was finely revived at Wallack's theatre, with the elder Wallack as Shylock, the cast included Lester Wallack as Bassanio, John Brougham as Gratiano, A. W. Young a quaintly comic actor, too soon cut off as Launcelot Gobbo, Mary Gannon the fascinating, the irresistible as Nerissa, and handsome Mrs.
Then, declaring that she gave herself to be in all things directed and governed by him, she presented Bassanio with a ring. Overpowered with joy at her gracious answer to his suit, the young lord took the gift, vowing that he would never part with it.
