There are really two sentences in this quotation, which you can't tell because of not being able to add punctuation. What Bassanio says is "What find I here? Fair Portia's counterfeit!"

So, the first sentence. As you know, to make a question you switch around the word order. "I do love you. Do I love you?" The verb "do" gets pushed to the beginning of the sentence. The same happens if you use one of the words where when why what or how at the beginning. You say "She is feeling fine" but you don't ask "How she is feeling?" You push the verb to the beginning and say "How is she feeling?" So to make the statement "I find a picture here" into a question, you say "What find I here?" although nowadays "What do I find here?" would be more idiomatic.

And what does he find? A counterfeit. What does counterfeit mean? It looks like the real thing but it is not real. A picture of someone is a counterfeit in this way. And that;s what he finds in the casket.

My girlfriend agreed to a threesome as long as I don't do ANYTHING with the other girl I don't really find that fair How can I convince my girlfriend it's not fair without killing the idea?

There is no "NOT FAIR" here. The lowest common denominator is the deciding point, so if she says you can't touch the other girl, that's the rule. Try it out and see what she suggests for future encounters. Just be glad she agreed to it in the first place. Your obligation here is to THANK HER, follow her rules explicitely, and don't push it! She Is Your Girlfriend You Shouldnt Want To Do Stuff With Annother Girll!! Be Faithful
