PORTIA Then the Jew must show you mercy. SHYLOCK Why do I have to do that? Tell me. PORTIA {QUALITY OF MERCY} No one shows mercy because he has to. It just happens, the way gentle rain drops on the ground. Mercy is a double blessing. It blesses the one who gives it and the one who receives it. It s strongest in the strongest people. It looks better in a king than his own crown looks on him. The king s scepter represents his earthly power, the symbol of majesty, the focus of royal authority. But mercy is higher than the scepter. It s enthroned in the hearts of kings, a quality of God himself. Kingly power seems most like God s power when the king mixes mercy with justice. So although justice is your plea, Jew, consider this. Justice won t save our souls. We pray for mercy, and this same prayer teaches us to show mercy to others as well. I ve told you this to make you give up this case. If you pursue it, this strict court of Venice will need to carry out the sentence against the merchant there.
