GRUMIO: |
Will he woo her? ay, or I'll hang her. |
PETRUCHIO: |
Why came I hither but to that intent? |
Think you a little din can daunt mine ears? |
Have I not in my time heard lions roar? |
Have I not heard the sea puff'd up with winds |
Rage like an angry boar chafed with sweat? |
Have I not heard great ordnance in the field, |
And heaven's artillery thunder in the skies? |
Have I not in a pitched battle heard |
Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? |
And do you tell me of a woman's tongue, |
That gives not half so great a blow to hear |
As will a chestnut in a farmer's fire? |
Tush, tush! fear boys with bugs. |
GRUMIO: |
For he fears none. |
GREMIO: |
Hortensio, hark: |
This gentleman is happily arrived, |
My mind presumes, for his own good and ours. |
HORTENSIO: |
I promised we would be contributors |
And bear his charging of wooing, whatsoe'er. |
GREMIO: |
And so we will, provided that he win her. |
GRUMIO: |
I would I were as sure of a good dinner. |
TRANIO: |
Gentlemen, God save you. If I may be bold, |
Tell me, I beseech you, which is the readiest way |
To the house of Signior Baptista Minola? |
BIONDELLO: |
He that has the two fair daughters: is't he you mean? |
TRANIO: |
Even he, Biondello. |
GREMIO: |
Hark you, sir; you mean not her to-- |
TRANIO: |
Perhaps, him and her, sir: what have you to do? |
PETRUCHIO: |
Not her that chides, sir, at any hand, I pray. |
TRANIO: |
I love no chiders, sir. Biondello, let's away. |
LUCENTIO: |
Well begun, Tranio. |
HORTENSIO: |
Sir, a word ere you go; |
Are you a suitor to the maid you talk of, yea or no? |
TRANIO: |
And if I be, sir, is it any offence? |
GREMIO: |
No; if without more words you will get you hence. |
TRANIO: |
Why, sir, I pray, are not the streets as free |
For me as for you? |
GREMIO: |
But so is not she. |
TRANIO: |
For what reason, I beseech you? |
GREMIO: |
For this reason, if you'll know, |
That she's the choice love of Signior Gremio. |
HORTENSIO: |
That she's the chosen of Signior Hortensio. |
TRANIO: |
Softly, my masters! if you be gentlemen, |
Do me this right; hear me with patience. |
Baptista is a noble gentleman, |
To whom my father is not all unknown; |
And were his daughter fairer than she is, |
She may more suitors have and me for one. |
Fair Leda's daughter had a thousand wooers; |
Then well one more may fair Bianca have: |
And so she shall; Lucentio shall make one, |
Though Paris came in hope to speed alone. |
