See, how they kiss and court! Signior Lucentio, |
Here is my hand, and here I firmly vow |
Never to woo her no more, but do forswear her, |
As one unworthy all the former favours |
That I have fondly flatter'd her withal. |
TRANIO: |
And here I take the unfeigned oath, |
Never to marry with her though she would entreat: |
Fie on her! see, how beastly she doth court him! |
HORTENSIO: |
Would all the world but he had quite forsworn! |
For me, that I may surely keep mine oath, |
I will be married to a wealthy widow, |
Ere three days pass, which hath as long loved me |
As I have loved this proud disdainful haggard. |
And so farewell, Signior Lucentio. |
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, |
Shall win my love: and so I take my leave, |
In resolution as I swore before. |
TRANIO: |
Mistress Bianca, bless you with such grace |
As 'longeth to a lover's blessed case! |
Nay, I have ta'en you napping, gentle love, |
And have forsworn you with Hortensio. |
BIANCA: |
Tranio, you jest: but have you both forsworn me? |
TRANIO: |
Mistress, we have. |
LUCENTIO: |
Then we are rid of Licio. |
TRANIO: |
I' faith, he'll have a lusty widow now, |
That shall be wood and wedded in a day. |
BIANCA: |
God give him joy! |
TRANIO: |
Ay, and he'll tame her. |
BIANCA: |
He says so, Tranio. |
TRANIO: |
Faith, he is gone unto the taming-school. |
BIANCA: |
The taming-school! what, is there such a place? |
TRANIO: |
Ay, mistress, and Petruchio is the master; |
That teacheth tricks eleven and twenty long, |
To tame a shrew and charm her chattering tongue. |
BIONDELLO: |
O master, master, I have watch'd so long |
That I am dog-weary: but at last I spied |
An ancient angel coming down the hill, |
Will serve the turn. |
TRANIO: |
What is he, Biondello? |
BIONDELLO: |
Master, a mercatante, or a pedant, |
I know not what; but format in apparel, |
In gait and countenance surely like a father. |
LUCENTIO: |
And what of him, Tranio? |
TRANIO: |
If he be credulous and trust my tale, |
I'll make him glad to seem Vincentio, |
And give assurance to Baptista Minola, |
As if he were the right Vincentio |
Take in your love, and then let me alone. |
Pedant: |
God save you, sir! |
TRANIO: |
And you, sir! you are welcome. |
Travel you far on, or are you at the farthest? |
Pedant: |
Sir, at the farthest for a week or two: |
But then up farther, and as for as Rome; |
And so to Tripoli, if God lend me life. |
TRANIO: |
What countryman, I pray? |
