Act1 scn1. TRANIO
Master, some show to welcome us to town.
BAPTISTA, to Gremio and Hortensio
Gentlemen, importune me no farther,
For how I firmly am resolved you know:
That is, not to bestow my youngest daughter 50
Before I have a husband for the elder.
If either of you both love Katherine,
Because I know you well and love you well,
Leave shall you have to court her at your pleasure.
TRANIO, aside to Lucentio
Well said, master. Mum, and gaze your fill
Gentlemen, that I may soon make good 75
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
GREMIO Why will you mew her up,
Signior Baptista, for this fiend of hell, 90
And make her bear the penance of her tongue?
BAPTISTA
Gentlemen, content you. I am resolved.—
Go in, Bianca. Bianca exits.
And for I know she taketh most delight
In music, instruments, and poetry, 95
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 100
To mine own children in good bringing up.
And so, farewell.—Katherine, you may stay,
For I have more to commune with Bianca. He exits.
