@GeePawHill There is a marvelous bit in the first episode of the RSC's Playing Shakespeare series with John Barton, where he has Ian McKellen illustrate a point using that opening line from the Merchant of Venice.

It's a stellar acting lesson but whether you're an actor or not, it's a joy to watch McKellen do his thing.
