portia

• shakespeare'in venedik taciri'nde ilk olarak bassanio tarafindan su sekilde tanitilir:
  
  in belmont is a lady richly left;
  and she is fair, and, fairer than that word,
  of wondrous virtues: sometimes from her eyes
  i did receive fair speechless messages:
  her name is portia, nothing undervalued
  to cato's daughter, brutus' portia:
  nor is the wide world ignorant of her worth,
  for the four winds blow in from every coast
  renowned suitors, and her sunny locks
  hang on her temples like a golden fleece;
  which makes her seat of belmont colchos' strand,
  and many jasons come in quest of her.
