GREMIO: |
What! this gentleman will out-talk us all. |
LUCENTIO: |
Sir, give him head: I know he'll prove a jade. |
PETRUCHIO: |
Hortensio, to what end are all these words? |
HORTENSIO: |
Sir, let me be so bold as ask you, |
Did you yet ever see Baptista's daughter? |
TRANIO: |
No, sir; but hear I do that he hath two, |
The one as famous for a scolding tongue |
As is the other for beauteous modesty. |
PETRUCHIO: |
Sir, sir, the first's for me; let her go by. |
GREMIO: |
Yea, leave that labour to great Hercules; |
And let it be more than Alcides' twelve. |
PETRUCHIO: |
Sir, understand you this of me in sooth: |
The youngest daughter whom you hearken for |
Her father keeps from all access of suitors, |
And will not promise her to any man |
Until the elder sister first be wed: |
The younger then is free and not before. |
TRANIO: |
If it be so, sir, that you are the man |
Must stead us all and me amongst the rest, |
And if you break the ice and do this feat, |
Achieve the elder, set the younger free |
For our access, whose hap shall be to have her |
Will not so graceless be to be ingrate. |
HORTENSIO: |
Sir, you say well and well you do conceive; |
And since you do profess to be a suitor, |
You must, as we do, gratify this gentleman, |
To whom we all rest generally beholding. |
TRANIO: |
Sir, I shall not be slack: in sign whereof, |
Please ye we may contrive this afternoon, |
And quaff carouses to our mistress' health, |
And do as adversaries do in law, |
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends. |
GRUMIO: |
O excellent motion! Fellows, let's be gone. |
HORTENSIO: |
The motion's good indeed and be it so, |
Petruchio, I shall be your ben venuto. |
BIANCA: |
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. |
KATHARINA: |
Of all thy suitors, here I charge thee, tell |
Whom thou lovest best: see thou dissemble not. |
BIANCA: |
Believe me, sister, of all the men alive |
I never yet beheld that special face |
Which I could fancy more than any other. |
KATHARINA: |
Minion, thou liest. Is't not Hortensio? |
BIANCA: |
If you affect him, sister, here I swear |
I'll plead for you myself, but you shall have |
him. |
KATHARINA: |
O then, belike, you fancy riches more: |
You will have Gremio to keep you fair. |
BIANCA: |
Is it for him you do envy me so? |
Nay then you jest, and now I well perceive |
You have but jested with me all this while: |
I prithee, sister Kate, untie my hands. |
KATHARINA: |
If that be jest, then all the rest was so. |
