Happily he is the second time come to them for they say an old man is twice a child

The quote "Happily he is the second time come to them for they say an old man is twice a child" is from William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice." This line is spoken by Portia in Act IV, Scene I, as she reflects on the return of her husband, Bassanio, to Belmont.
