I love Shakespeare!!!
And what is music then? Then music is
Even as the flourish when true subjects bow

estate. It remains to be seen whether is willing to be sacrificed or
not.
She compares Bassanio to Hercules- who will save her. This is a
complimetn however she references him as a fortune hunter by mentioning
this. By saving Troy, Hercules got not the maiden but the horses of her
father.
