ACT

SCENE I. The same. A Room in Baptista's House.

Enter KATHARINA and BIANCA. Bian. Good sister, wrong me not, nor wrong yourself,

To make a bondmaid and a slave of me;
That I disdain: but for these other gawds ‡,
Unbind my hands, I'll pull them off myself,
Yea, all my raiment, to my petticoat;
Or, what you will command me, will I do,
So well I know my duty to my elders.
Kath. Of all thy suitors, here I charge
thee, tell
[not.
Whom thou lovest best: see thou dissemble
Bian. Believe me, sister, of all the men
I never yet beheld that special face [alive,
Which I could fancy more than any other.
Kath. Minion, thou liest; Is't not Hortensio?
Bian. If you affectý him, sister, here I

Bian. Is it for him you do envy me so?
Nay, then you jest; and now I well perceive,

Enter BAPTISTA.
Bap. Why, how now, dame! whence grows
this insolence?-

So.

Bianca, stand aside;-poor girl! she weeps:-
Go ply thy needle; meddle not with her.-
For shame, thou hilding of a devilish spirit,
Why dost thou wrong her that did ne'er wrong
thee?

When did she cross thee with a bitter word?
Kath. Her silence flouts me, and I'll be re-
venged. [Flies after BIANCA.

Kath. Will you not suffer me? Nay, now
I see,
[band;
She is your treasure, she must have a hus-
I must dance bare-foot on her wedding-day,
And, for your love to her, lead apes in hell.
Talk not to me; I will go sit and weep,
Till I can find occasion of revenge.

[Exit KATHARINA.
Bap. Was ever gentleman thus grieved as I?
But who comes here?
Enter GREMIO, with LUCENTIO in the habit
of a mean man; PETRUCHIO, with HOR-
TENSIO as a Musician; and TRANIO, with
BIONDELLO bearing a lute and books.
Gre. Good-morrow, neighbour Baptista.
Bap. Good-morrow, neighbour Gremio:
God save you, gentlemen!

Pet. And you, good sir! Pray, have you
not a daughter

Call'd Katharina, fair, and virtuous?
Bap. I have a daughter, sir, call'd Katharina.
Gre. You are too blunt, go to it orderly.
Pet. You wrong me, signior Gremio; give
I am a gentleman of Verona, sir, [me leave.-
That,-hearing of her beauty, and her wit,
Her affability, and bashful modesty,
Her wondrous qualities, and mild behaviour,—
Am bold to show myself a forward guest
Within your house, to make mine eye the wit
Of that report which I so oft have heard. [ness
And, for an entrance to my entertainment,
I do present you with a man of mine,

[Presenting HORTENSIO.
Cunning in music, and the mathematics,
To instruct her fully in those sciences,
Whereof, I know, she is not ignorant:
Accept of him, or else you do me wrong;
His name is Licio, born in Mantua.

Bap. You're welcome, sir; and he, for
your good sake:

But for my daughter Katharine, this I know,
She is not for your turn, the more my grief,
Pet. I see you do not mean to part with her;

• Ungrateful. Companions. Trifling ornaments. § Love. A worthless woman.

Or else you like not of my company.

Bap. Mistake me not, I speak but as I find. Whence are you, sir? what may I call your name?

Pet. Petruchio is my name; Antonio's son,
A man well known throughout all Italy.
Bap. I know him well: you are welcome
for his sake.

Gre. Saving your tale, Petruchio, I pray,
Let us, that are poor petitioners, speak too:
Baccare! you are marvellous forward.
Pet. O, pardon me, signior Gremio;

I

Which I have better'd rather than decreased:
Then tell me, if I get your daughter's love,
What dowry shall I have with her to wife?
Bap. After my death, the one half of my
lands:

And, in possession, twenty thousand crowns.
Pet. And, for that dowry, I'll assure her of
Her widowhood,-be it that she survive me,-
In all my lands and leases whatsoever :
Let specialties be therefore drawn between us,
That covenants may be kept on either hand.
Bap. Ay, when the special thing is well
obtain'd,

would fain be doing. [your wooing.Gre. I doubt it not, sir; but you will curse Neighbour, this is a gift very grateful, I am sure of it. To express the like kindness my-I am as peremptory as she proud-minded; self, that have been more kindly beholden to you than any, I freely give unto you this young scholar, [Presenting LUCENTIO.] that hath been long studying at Rheims; as cunning in Greek, Latin, and other languages, as the other in music and mathematics: his name is Cambio; pray, accept his service.

This is, her love; for that is all in all. [father,
Pet. Why, that is nothing; for I tell you,

Bap. A thousand thanks, signior Gremio: welcome, good Cambio.-But, gentle sir, [To TRANIO.] methinks, you walk like a stranger; May I be so bold to know the cause of your coming?

Tra. Pardon me, sir, the boldness is mine
That, being a stranger in this city here, [own;
Do make myself a suitor to your daughter,
Unto Bianca, fair, and virtuous.

Nor is your firm resolve unknown to me,
In the preferment of the eldest sister:
This liberty is all that I request,-
That, upon knowledge of my parentage,
I may have welcome 'mongst the rest that woo,
And free access and favour as the rest.
And, toward the education of your daughters,
I here bestow a simple instrument, [books:
And this small packet of Greek and Latin
If you accept them, then their worth is great.
Bap. Lucentio is your name? of whence,
I pray?

Tra. Of Pisa, sir; son to Vincentio.
Bap. A mighty man of Pisa; by report
I know him well: you are very welcome, sir.
Take you [To HOR.] the lute, and you [To
Luc.] the set of books,

You shall go see your pupils presently.
Holla, within!

Enter a Servant.

them both,

These are their tutors; bid them use them

TIO, and BIONDELLO.

We will go walk a little in the orchard,
And then to dinner: You are passing welcome,
And so I pray you all to think yourselves.

Pet. Signior Baptista, my business asketh
And every day I cannot come to woo. [haste.
You knew my father well; and in him, me,
Left solely heir to all his lands and goods,

A proverbial exclamation then in use.

And where two raging fires meet together,
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury:
Though little fire grows great with little wind,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all:
So I to her, and so she yields to me;
For I am rough, and woo not like a babe.
Bap. Well may'st thou woo, and happy be
thy speed!

But be thou arm'd for some unhappy words.
Pet. Ay, to the proof; as mountains are

for winds,

That shake not, though they blow perpetually.
Re-enter HORTENSIO, with his head broken.
Bap. How now, my friend? why dost thou

look so pale?

Hor. For fear, I promise you, if I look pale. Bap. What, will my daughter prove a good musician?

Hor. I think, she'll sooner prove a soldier; Iron may hold with her, but never lutes. Bap. Why, then thou canst not break her to the lute?

[to me. Hor. Why, no; for she hath broke the lute I did but tell her, she mistook her frets †, And bow'd her hand to teach her fingering; When, with a most impatient devilish spirit, Frets, call you these? quoth she: I'll fume with them:

She's apt to learn,and thankful for good turns.--
Signior Petruchio, will you go with us;
Or shall I send my daughter Kate to you?
Pet. I pray you do; I will attend her here,-

Pet. Father, 'tis thus,-yourself and all the
world,

That talk'd of her, have talk'd amiss of her;
If she be curst it is for policy:

For she's not froward, but modest as the dove;
She is not hot, but temperate as the morn;
For patience she will prove a second Grissel;
And Roman Lucrece for her chastity: [ther,
And to conclude, we have 'greed so well toge-

Kath. I'll see thee hang'd on Sunday first.
Gre. Hark, Petruchio! she says, she'll see
thee hang'd first.

Tra. Is this your speeding? nay, then, good night our part!

Pet. Be patient, gentlemen ; choose her for myself;

If she and I be pleased, what's that to you?
'Tis bargain'd 'twixt us twain, being alone,
That she shall still be curst in company.
I tell you, 'tis incredible to believe
How much she loves me: 0, the kindest Kate!
She hung about my neck; and kiss on kiss
She vied so fast, protesting oath on oath,
That in a twink she won me to her love.
O, you are novices! 'tis a world to seet,
How tame, when men and women are alone,
A meacock wretch can make the curstest
shrew.-

Give me thy hand, Kate: I will unto Venice,
To buy apparel 'gainst the wedding-day :-
Provide the feast, father, and bid the guests;
I will be sure, my Katharine shall be fine.

And venture madly on a desperate mart.
Tra. 'Twas a commodity lay fretting by you:
Twill bring you gain, or perish on the seas.
Bup. The gain I seek is quiet in the match.
Gre. No doubt, but he hath got a quiet catch.
But now, Baptista, to your younger daughter;-
Now is the day we long have looked for;
I am your neighbour, and was suitor first.
Tra. And I am one, that love Bianca more
Than words can witness, or your thoughts can

Say, signior Gremio, what can you assure her? Gre. First, as you know, my house within

the city

Is richly furnished with plate and gold;
Basons, and ewers, to lave her dainty hands;
My hangings all of Tyrian tapestry :
In ivory coffers I have stuff'd my crowns;
In cypress chests my arras, counterpointsŷ,
Costly apparel, tents, and canopies,
Fine linen, Turkey cushions boss'd with pearl,
Valance of Venice gold in needle-work,
Pewter and brass, and all things that belong
To house, or housekeeping: then, at my farm,
I have a hundred milch kine to the pail,
Sixscore fat oxen standing in my stalls,
And all things answerable to this portion.
Myself am struck in years, I must confess;
And, if I die to-morrow, this is hers,
If, whilst I live, she will be only mine.

Tra. That, only, came well in-Sir, list

Tra. Why, then the maid is mine from all

By your firm promise; Gremio is out-vied.
Bup. I must confess, your offer is the best;
And, let your father make her the assurance,
She is your own; else, you must pardon me:
