    Nerissa’s aside — “I’ll see if I can get my husband's ring, Which I did make him swear to keep for ever” — launches the play’s closing comedic test: the two women, still disguised as the lawyer and clerk, will trick their husbands into giving up the rings they swore to cherish forever. Portia’s response, “We shall have old swearing That they did give the rings away to men; But we'll outface them, and outswear them too”, highlights her sharp wit and playful nature: after outwitting Shylock in court, she’s now ready to outsmart her own husband in love.
