What it reveals
"Hath feared the valiant"
Morocco
He is very boastful, trying to convince Portia that he is brave as heroes would cower in fear upon seeing him.
"The best regarded virgins of our clime Have loved it too"
Morocco
He is boasting once again that his charm and bravery attracts all women to him.
"If Hercules and Lichas play at dice Which is the better man, the greater throw May turn by fortune from the weaker hand."
Morocco
Although he is very boastful and brave, he knows that only luck would play a part in his bid to marry Portia, and states that it might in fact be the weaker man who gets Portia. (Which actually does happen)
Portia
"then, stood as fair As any corner I have looked on yet For my affection"
