AEGEON. Proceed, Solinus, to procure my fall, And by the doom of
death end woes and all. DUKE. Merchant of Syracuse, plead no more;
I am not partial to infringe our laws. The enmity and discord which
of late Sprung from the rancorous outrage of your duke To
merchants, our well-dealing countrymen, Who, wanting guilders to
redeem their lives, Have seal'd his rigorous statutes with their
bloods, Excludes all pity from our threat'ning looks. For, since
the mortal and intestine jars 'Twixt thy seditious countrymen and
us, It hath in solemn synods been decreed, Both by the Syracusians
and ourselves, To admit no traffic to our adverse towns; Nay, more:
if any born at Ephesus Be seen at any Syracusian marts and fairs;
Again, if any Syracusian born Come to the bay of Ephesus-he dies,
His goods confiscate to the Duke's dispose, Unless a thousand marks
be levied, To quit the penalty and to ransom him. Thy substance,
valued at the highest rate, Cannot amount unto a hundred marks;
Therefore by law thou art condemn'd to die.
