gentlemen, importune me no farther, for how I firmly am resolved you know; that is, not to bestow my youngest daughter before I have a husband for the elder. if either of you love Katherina, because I know you well and love you well, leave shall you have to court her at your pleasure
to cart her rather. She's too rough for me. There, there, Hortensio, will you any wife?
I pray you, sir, is it your will to make a stale of me amongst these mates?
Mates, maid, how mean you that? No mates for you unless you were of gentler, milder mould
I'faith, sir, you shall never need to fear. Iwis it is not halfway to her heart. But if it were, doubt not her care should be to comb your noodle with a three-legged stool, and paint your face, and use you like a fool.
from all such devils, good Lord deliver us!
and me too, good Lord!
But I the other's silence do I see maid's mild behavior and sobriety. Peace, Tranio.
hush, master, here's some good pastime toward. That wench is stark mad or wonderful froward.
Well said, master. Mum! And gaze your fill.
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.
Sister, content you in my discontent. Sir, to your pleasure I humbly subscribe. My books and instruments shall be my company, on them to look and practise by myself.
A pretty peat! It is best put finger in the eye, an she knew why.
