Merchant of Venison
Gather around my friends and let us meet to meat
Proudly I loaned some amount, so we mayest hold a feast
To the court, my dear Portia, let's wine and dine in merriment
Meantime before the day arrives, when obliged I'd be to a debt
The sums are high, I only pray I can bear the cost
For venison, sadly i will lose a fleshy pound
To the court, my dear Portia, let's make influence on judgement
And wait the day, the Lord decides, for I shall be redeemed
