But if it were, doubt not her care should be |
To comb your noddle with a three-legg'd stool |
And paint your face and use you like a fool. |
HORTENSIA: |
From all such devils, good Lord deliver us! |
GREMIO: |
And me too, good Lord! |
TRANIO: |
Hush, master! here's some good pastime toward: |
That wench is stark mad or wonderful froward. |
LUCENTIO: |
But in the other's silence do I see |
Maid's mild behavior and sobriety. |
Peace, Tranio! |
TRANIO: |
Well said, master; mum! and gaze your fill. |
BAPTISTA: |
Gentlemen, that I may soon make good |
What I have said, Bianca, get you in: |
And let it not displease thee, good Bianca, |
For I will love thee ne'er the less, my girl. |
KATHARINA: |
A pretty peat! it is best |
Put finger in the eye, an she knew why. |
BIANCA: |
Sister, content you in my discontent. |
Sir, to your pleasure humbly I subscribe: |
My books and instruments shall be my company, |
On them to took and practise by myself. |
LUCENTIO: |
Hark, Tranio! thou may'st hear Minerva speak. |
HORTENSIO: |
Signior Baptista, will you be so strange? |
Sorry am I that our good will effects |
Bianca's grief. |
GREMIO: |
Why will you mew her up, |
Signior Baptista, for this fiend of hell, |
And make her bear the penance of her tongue? |
BAPTISTA: |
Gentlemen, content ye; I am resolved: |
Go in, Bianca: |
And for I know she taketh most delight |
In music, instruments and poetry, |
Schoolmasters will I keep within my house, |
Fit to instruct her youth. If you, Hortensio, |
Or Signior Gremio, you, know any such, |
Prefer them hither; for to cunning men |
I will be very kind, and liberal |
To mine own children in good bringing up: |
And so farewell. Katharina, you may stay; |
For I have more to commune with Bianca. |
KATHARINA: |
Why, and I trust I may go too, may I not? What, |
shall I be appointed hours; as though, belike, I |
knew not what to take and what to leave, ha? |
GREMIO: |
You may go to the devil's dam: your gifts are so |
good, here's none will hold you. Their love is not |
so great, Hortensio, but we may blow our nails |
together, and fast it fairly out: our cakes dough on |
both sides. Farewell: yet for the love I bear my |
sweet Bianca, if I can by any means light on a fit |
man to teach her that wherein she delights, I will |
wish him to her father. |
HORTENSIO: |
So will I, Signior Gremio: but a word, I pray. |
Though the nature of our quarrel yet never brooked |
parle, know now, upon advice, it toucheth us both, |
that we may yet again have access to our fair |
mistress and be happy rivals in Bianco's love, to |
labour and effect one thing specially. |
GREMIO: |
What's that, I pray? |
HORTENSIO: |
Marry, sir, to get a husband for her sister. |
GREMIO: |
A husband! a devil. |
HORTENSIO: |
I say, a husband. |
