　　While Posha and Barshanio were talking, Vetanio and Nuisa came up to them. They said: “We hope you will be very happy. We would like to be married at the same time as you.” Of course Posha and Barshanio were very pleased and agreed at once.

　　Then a messenger arrived from Venice with a letter for Barshanio. Barshanio opened the letter and began to read it. Soon his face became pale. Posha looked at Barshanio’s face and was sure that something terrible had happened. She said, “if you have anything that troubles you, tell me what it is.” Barshanio told Posha about the money which he had borrowed from Sherlock. He also told her about the promise between Antonio and Sherlock. Barshanio handed the letter to Posha and she read it. "Dear Barshanio, my ships will never return to port because they were all at the sea and all my goods were lost. Now I have no money, so I can’t pay back the money to Sherlock. I have to give him a pound of my flesh. I am now ready to die. But I would like to see you before I do.” Then the messenger told them that Sharlock wanted Antonio’s flesh immediately. And that poor Antonio was in prison. When Posha heard this, she told Barshanio to go and help his friend. But Posha wanted Barshnio to marry her before he left. So all four of them went to the church and got married.
