BAPTISTA
Why, then thou canst not pause her to the lute?
BAPTISTA
What, you don't remember you can break her to the lute?
HORTENSIO
Why, no, for she hath bankrupt the lute to me. I did but tell her she mistook her frets, And bowed her hand to teach her fingering, When, with a most impatient devilish spirit, "'Frets' call you lot these?" quoth she. "I'll smoke with them!" And with that word she struck me on the caput, And through the instrument my pate made way, And there I stood amazèd for a while As on a pillory, looking through the lute, While she did telephone call me "rascal fiddler" And "twangling Jack"; with 20 such vile terms, Every bit had she studied to misuse me so.
HORTENSIO
Why no—she's cleaved the lute on me. All I told her was that she was using the wrong frets, and I aptitude her mitt to teach her the right fingering. And then she jumped upward with impatience and said, "'Frets,' is that what you call them? Let me fret y'all and so!" And with that she struck me on the head, so that my caput went right through the lute. I stood in that location dislocated for a while, looking through the strings of the lute every bit if they were prison confined, while she called me a "rascal fiddler," "twangling fool," and twenty other mean names like that. It was as if she'd been practicing and planning to abuse me similar this.

No, non a whit. I find you passing gentle. 'Twas told me you were rough and coy and sullen, And now I detect report a very liar. For thou are pleasant, gamesome, passing courteous, Simply slow in spoken language, yet sweet as springtime flowers. Thou canst not frown, grand canst not look askance, Nor bite the lip as angry wenches volition, Nor hast thou pleasance to exist cross in talk. But yard with mildness entertain'st thy wooers, With gentle conference, soft and affable. Why does the globe report that Kate doth limp? O slanderous world! Kate like the hazel-twig
PETRUCHIO
No, not a bit. I detect you lot exceedingly gentle. I was told that you were crude, scornful, and sullen, simply now I come across that those rumors are lies.

Even if you tried, you couldn't frown, glare scornfully, or bite your lip equally angry women do, and y'all take no pleasance in arguments. Instead yous entertain your suitors with mild and gentle conversation, and are quiet and friendly. So why does the world report that Kate limps forth? What a slanderous world! Kate is like a hazel-twig, direct and slender, her hair is as brownish as hazelnuts, and she herself is sweeter than the hazelnut kernels. Oh, let me see you walk, Kate! Y'all don't limp at all!
KATHERINE
Go, fool, and whom thou keep'st command.

Get, fool. Order your servants around—not me.

It is extempore, from my mother wit.
PETRUCHIO
It'due south off-the-cuff. It comes from my natural intelligence.
KATHERINE
A witty mother! Witless else her son.
KATHERINE
What a witty mother! Too bad her son is witless.
KATHERINE
Yes, keep you warm.
KATHERINE
Inappreciably wise enough to keep yourself warm.
PETRUCHIO
Marry, so I mean, sweet Katherine, in thy bed. And therefore, setting all this conversation aside, Thus in plain terms: your father hath consented That you lot shall be my wife, your dowry 'greed on, And, will you, nill you, I volition marry you. Now, Kate, I am a husband for your plough, For, by this calorie-free, whereby I come across thy dazzler, Thy beauty that doth make me similar thee well, G must be married to no man but me. For I am he am born to tame you, Kate, And bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate Conformable as other household Kates.
PETRUCHIO
Indeed, I do hateful to keep myself warm, sweet Katherine, in your bed. Simply plenty churr. Permit's speak apparently: your father has consented that you will exist my married woman. Your dowry is agreed upon, and whether yous want it or non, I will marry you. Now, Kate, I'k the only husband for you lot. I swear by this low-cal, which lets me come across your beauty—your beauty that makes me love yous—that you must exist married to no man merely me. I was built-in to tame y'all, Kate, and change you from a wildcat Kate into a Kate every bit obedient every bit other domesticated Kates.

Is this what you call success? So much for our hopes of freeing Bianca.
PETRUCHIO
Be patient, gentlemen. I choose her for myself. If she and I exist pleased, what's that to you? 'Tis bargained 'twixt usa twain, being alone, That she shall all the same be curst in company. I tell you, 'tis incredible to believe How much she loves me. O, the kindest Kate! She hung near my neck, and kiss on buss She vied then fast, protesting adjuration on oath, That in a twink she won me to her love. O, you are novices!

GREMIO
Youngling, m canst not beloved so love as I.
GREMIO
Boy, yous don't know how to love similar I do.
TRANIO
[as LUCENTIO] Graybeard, thy love doth freeze.
TRANIO
[As LUCENTIO] Quondam graybeard, your love has frozen over.
GREMIO
But thine doth fry. Skipper, stand up back. 'Tis age that nourisheth.
GREMIO
But yours will burn out. Stand back, fickle boy. Age is what nourishes.

BAPTISTA
Content you, gentlemen. I will chemical compound this strife. 'Tis deeds must win the prize, and he of both That tin can assure my daughter greatest dower Shall have my Bianca's love. Say, Signior Gremio, what tin can you assure her?

And then, at my farm I have a hundred milch-kine to the pail, Half-dozen score fatty oxen standing in my stalls, And all things answerable to this portion. Myself am struck in years, I must confess, And if I die tomorrow this is hers, If whilst I live she will be only mine.
GREMIO
First, as you know, my business firm in the city, which is richly furnished with gold and communist china, and basins and jugs for her to launder her dainty hands. My wall hangings are of purple tapestry, my ivory chests are stuffed with gold, and my cypress-wood chests are filled with quilted bedspreads, expensive clothes, bed curtains and canopies, fine linen, Turkish cushions embossed with pearl, gold Venetian draperies, pewter and contumely, and everything else you could want for a house or housekeeping. Then, at my subcontract I have a hundred milk cows and a hundred and twenty fat oxen in my stables. Everything else I own is of a similar high value. I myself am getting on in years, I must confess, and if I should die tomorrow, all this volition belong to Bianca—then long every bit while I live she volition be only mine.
TRANIO
(as LUCENTIO] That "just" came well in. [To BAPTISTA] Sir, listing to me: I am my male parent's heir and merely son. If I may accept your daughter to my married woman, I'll leave her houses three or four as adept, Within rich Pisa walls, as any i Former Signior Gremio has in Padua, Besides two thousand ducats by the year Of fruitful land, all which shall be her jointure.— What, have I pinched you lot, Signior Gremio?
TRANIO

If I may have your daughter for my wife, I volition leave her three or four houses in rich Pisa, all of them every bit good as anything old Sir Gremio has in Padua. Along with this, she'll become ii thousand gilded coins a year, which is what my land earns me. All of this will be her marriage settlement. —What, accept I discouraged you lot, Sir Gremio?
GREMIO
Two one thousand ducats by the yr of land! [aside] My country amounts not to so much in all.— That she shall accept, besides an argosy That now is lying in Marcellus' road. [To TRANIO] What, have I high-strung you with an argosy?
GREMIO
Two g gilded coins a yr from his land!
[To himself] All my country together doesn't add upwardly to that much!—Well, from me she'll take all that, plus a merchant transport that's at present docked in Marseilles harbor.
[To TRANIO] What, have I silenced you with a ship?
TRANIO
[every bit LUCENTIO] Gremio, 'tis known my father hath no less Than 3 great argosies, also two galliasses, And twelve tight galleys. These I volition assure her, And twice every bit much whate'er k offer'st next.
TRANIO
[As LUCENTIO] Gremio, information technology'southward well known that my male parent has no fewer than 3 nifty merchant ships, along with two large galleys and twelve smaller ones. I'll offer all these to Bianca, and I'll double whatever y'all might offer next.
GREMIO

TRANIO
[as LUCENTIO] That's simply a cavil: he is old, I immature.
TRANIO

GREMIO
And may non young men die too as old?
GREMIO
And tin't young men die as well as old men?

Well, gentlemen, I have decided. Next Sunday my daughter Katherina is to be married, you know.
[To TRANIO] On the following Sunday, Bianca will marry you—if you lot tin make this guarantee. If you can't, then she'll marry Sir Gremio. Then I bid you lot bye, and thanks both.
GREMIO
Adieu, adept neighbor.
GREMIO
Bye, proficient neighbor.
Now I fear thee non. Sirrah young gamester, your father were a fool To give thee all and in his waning age Set pes under thy table. Tut, a toy! An old Italian fox is not so kind, my boy.
Now I'1000 not afraid of you lot anymore, boy. Y'all young gambler, your father would be a fool to give you everything and spend his declining years as a dependent in your firm. Ha, information technology'southward nonsense! An onetime Italian fox is never that kind, my male child.
TRANIO
A vengeance on your crafty withered hide! Yet I have faced it with a card of ten. 'Tis in my head to do my main good. I see no reason but supposed Lucentio Must go a father, called "supposed Vincentio"— And that'southward a wonder. Fathers commonly Practise get their children. Merely in this case of wooing, A child shall get a sire, if I fail non of my cunning.
TRANIO
A curse on your crafty withered hide! But I've bluffed successfully without even a confront card . I remember I'll be able to practise my master skilful. I encounter no reason why the pretend Lucentio shouldn't produce a father, called "pretend Vincentio"—and that'll be a miracle. Fathers usually begetter their children, non the other style around. Just in this instance of wooing, a child will begetter a father, if my wits don't fail me.
