GRUMIO: |
Here's no knavery! See, to beguile the old folks, |
how the young folks lay their heads together! |
Master, master, look about you: who goes there, ha? |
HORTENSIO: |
Peace, Grumio! it is the rival of my love. |
Petruchio, stand by a while. |
GRUMIO: |
A proper stripling and an amorous! |
GREMIO: |
O, very well; I have perused the note. |
Hark you, sir: I'll have them very fairly bound: |
All books of love, see that at any hand; |
And see you read no other lectures to her: |
You understand me: over and beside |
Signior Baptista's liberality, |
I'll mend it with a largess. Take your paper too, |
And let me have them very well perfumed |
For she is sweeter than perfume itself |
To whom they go to. What will you read to her? |
LUCENTIO: |
Whate'er I read to her, I'll plead for you |
As for my patron, stand you so assured, |
As firmly as yourself were still in place: |
Yea, and perhaps with more successful words |
Than you, unless you were a scholar, sir. |
GREMIO: |
O this learning, what a thing it is! |
GRUMIO: |
O this woodcock, what an ass it is! |
PETRUCHIO: |
Peace, sirrah! |
HORTENSIO: |
Grumio, mum! God save you, Signior Gremio. |
GREMIO: |
And you are well met, Signior Hortensio. |
Trow you whither I am going? To Baptista Minola. |
I promised to inquire carefully |
About a schoolmaster for the fair Bianca: |
And by good fortune I have lighted well |
On this young man, for learning and behavior |
Fit for her turn, well read in poetry |
And other books, good ones, I warrant ye. |
HORTENSIO: |
'Tis well; and I have met a gentleman |
Hath promised me to help me to another, |
A fine musician to instruct our mistress; |
So shall I no whit be behind in duty |
To fair Bianca, so beloved of me. |
GREMIO: |
Beloved of me; and that my deeds shall prove. |
GRUMIO: |
And that his bags shall prove. |
HORTENSIO: |
Gremio, 'tis now no time to vent our love: |
Listen to me, and if you speak me fair, |
I'll tell you news indifferent good for either. |
Here is a gentleman whom by chance I met, |
Upon agreement from us to his liking, |
Will undertake to woo curst Katharina, |
Yea, and to marry her, if her dowry please. |
GREMIO: |
So said, so done, is well. |
Hortensio, have you told him all her faults? |
PETRUCHIO: |
I know she is an irksome brawling scold: |
If that be all, masters, I hear no harm. |
GREMIO: |
No, say'st me so, friend? What countryman? |
PETRUCHIO: |
Born in Verona, old Antonio's son: |
My father dead, my fortune lives for me; |
And I do hope good days and long to see. |
GREMIO: |
O sir, such a life, with such a wife, were strange! |
But if you have a stomach, to't i' God's name: |
You shall have me assisting you in all. |
But will you woo this wild-cat? |
PETRUCHIO: |
Will I live? |
