[Enter KATHERINE and BIANCA]
BIANCA

, , ,
Good sis|ter wrong | me not,| nor wrong |
yourself,
, , ,
, ,
To make | a bond|maid and | a slave | of me,
, , ,
, ,
That I | disdain:| but for | these oth|er gawds,
, ,
, ,
,
Unbind | my hands,| I'll pull | them off |
myself,
, ,
, , ,
Yea all | my raim|ent, to | my pet|ticoat,
, ,
, , ,
Or what | you will | command | me, will | I do,
, , ,
, 2 ,
So well | I know | my du/ty to my | elders.
KATHERINE
, ,
, T T T
Of all | thy suit|ors here | I charge tell
,
T T T 2 ,
,
Whom thou | lovst best: see | thou dissem|ble
not.
BIANCA

, ,
,
Believe | me sis|ter, of all | the men | alive,
,
, , ,
,
I nev|er yet | beheld | that spe|cial face,
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Which I could | fancy,| more than | any | other.
KATHERINE
,
x , ,
, 2
Minion | thou liest.| Is it | not Hor|tensio?
BIANCA
, , ,
, ,
If you | affect | him sis|ter, here | I swear
, ,
, ,
, 2->
I'll plead | for you | myself,| but you | shall have ||
him.
KATHERINE
, ,
, , ,
O then | belike | you fan|cy rich|es more,
, ,
, ,
,
You will | have Grem|io | 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 jest|ed with | me all | this while:
, ,
, , ,
I prith|ee sis|ter Kate,| untie | my hands.
KATHERINE
, ,
, ,
,
If that | be jest,| then all | the rest | was so.
[Strikes her. Enter BAPTISTA]
BAPTISTA

Why how | now dame,| whence^grows | this
ins|olence?

Bianca | stand a|side, poor girl | she weeps:

For shame | thou held|ing of | a devil|ish
spirit,
, ,
, , ,
Why dost | thou wrong | her, that | did nere |
wrong^thee?
, ,
, ,
,
When did | she cross | thee with | a bit|ter
word?
KATHERINE
, , ,
, ,
Her sil|ence flouts | me, and / I'll be |
revenged.
[Flies after BIANCA]
BAPTISTA

,
What in | my sight?| Bian|ca get | thee in.
[Exit BIANCA]
KATHERINE
, 2 ,
,

What will you | not suf/fer me:| Nay* now | I see
, 2 ,

She is your | treasure,| she must | have a |
husband,
, T T
T 2 ,
,
I must | dance bare-foot | on her wed|ding day.
, ,

,
And for | your love | to her,| lead^apes | in
hell.

Talk not to me,| I will | go sit | and weep,

Till I | can find | occa|sion of | revenge.

But who | comes here. \\

GREMIO
Good morrow neighbor Baptista.
BAPTISTA
Good morrow neighbor Gremio: God save you gentlemen.
PETRUCHIO
And you good sir: pray have you not a daughter, called Katherina, fair and
virtuous?
BAPTISTA
I have a daughter sir, called Katherina.
GREMIO

, ,
, ,
You are | too blunt,| go to | it ord|erly.
PETRUCHIO

You wrong | me Sign|ior Grem|io, give | me leave.

I am | a gent|leman | of Vero|na sir,

Am bold | to show | myself | a for|ward guest

His name | is Li|cio,| born in | Mantua.
BAPTISTA

You're wel|come sir,| and he | for your / good
sake.
, ,
, 2 ,
,
But for | my daught|er Kath|erine, this | I know,
, , ,

She is | not for | your turn,| the more | my
grief.
PETRUCHIO
,
, , ,
,
I see | you do | not mean | to part | with her,
, , ,

Or else | you like | not of | my comp|any.
BAPTISTA

Mistake | me not,| I speak | but as | I find,

Whence^are | you sir?| What may | I call | your
name.
PETRUCHIO

A man well known | throughout | all It/aly.
BAPTISTA

I know | him well:| you are wel|come for / his sake.
GREMIO
Saving your tale Petruchio, I pray let us that are poor petitioners speak
too? Baccare, you are marvellous forward.
PETRUCHIO
Oh, pardon me Signior Gremio, I would fain be doing.
GREMIO

, T T T
I doubt | it not | sir. But | you will curse
, , o ,
,
Your woo|ing neigh|bors: | this is | a gift

Very | grateful,| I am sure | of it,| to express

The like | kindness | myself,| that have | been

Free||ly give^un|to you | this young

Been long | study|ing at | Rheims, as | cunning

His name | is Cam|bio: pray | accept | his serv||ice.
BAPTISTA

A thous|and thanks | Sign|ior Grem|io:

Welcome | good* Cam|bio. | But gent|le sir,
, ,
, ,
Methinks | you walk | like a | stranger,

, ,
, 2 ,
May I || be so | bold, to | know the | cause of
your | coming?
TRANIO
, ,
, ,

Pardon | me sir,| the bold|ness is | mine^own,

, , ,

That being | a strang|er in | this ci|ty here,

Do make | myself | a suit|or to | your
daugh||ter,

Un|to Bian|ca, fair | and vir|tuous:

Nor is | your firm | resolve | unknown | to me,

In the pre|ferment | of the | eldest | sister.

This lib|erty | is all | that I | request,

That u|pon know/ledge of | my par|entage,

I may | have wel|come amongst | the rest | that

And free | access | and fav|or as | the rest.

And toward | the ed|uca|tion of | your
daugh||ters:

I here | bestow | a simp|le ins|trument,

great:
BAPTISTA

Lucen|tio is | your name,| of whence | I pray.
TRANIO
, , ,
, ,
Of Pi|sa sir,| son to | Vincen|tio.
BAPTISTA

A might|y man | of Pi|sa by | report,

, , ,
I know | him well:| you are ve|ry wel|come sir:
,
, ,

Take you | the lute,| and you | the set | of
books,

You shall | go see | your pup|ils pres|ently.

Holla,| within.| Sirrah,| lead these | gentlemen

To my | daughters,| and tell | them both

These are || their tut|ors, bid | them use |
them well,|
[Exit Servant, with LUCENTIO and HORTENSIO, BIONDELLO following]

We will go*| walk a | little | in the | orchard,
, ,
, , ,
->
And then | to din|ner: You | are pass|ing
wel||come,
, 2 , ,
, ,
And | so I pray | you all | to think | yourselves.
PETRUCHIO
, 2 , , ,
,
Signior Bap|tista,| my bus|iness ask|eth haste,
, ,
, ,
,
And eve|ry day | I can|not come | to woo,
, ,
, ,
,
You knew | my fath|er well,| and in | him me,
, ,
, , ,
Left^sole|ly heir | to all | his lands | and
goods,
, ,
, ,
,
Which I | have bet|tered rath|er than |
decreased,
, ,
, , ,
Then tell | me, if | I get | your daught|er's
love,
, ,
, ,
,
What dow|ry shall | I have | with her | to wife.
BAPTISTA
, ,
, ,
,
After | my death,| the one | half of | my lands,
, , ,
, ,
And in | posses|sion twen|ty thous|and crowns.
PETRUCHIO
, ,
, ,
,
And for | that dow|ry, I'll | assure | her of
, , ,
2 , ,
Her wid|owhood,| be it that | she sur|vive me
, ,
, ,
x
In all | my lands | and leas|es what|soever,
, ,
, , x
Let spe|cialties | be there|fore drawn | between
us,
, ,
2 , ,
,
That cov|enants | may be kept | on eith|er hand.
BAPTISTA
,
, ,
, ,
Aye, when | the spe|cial thing | is well | obtained,
, , ,
, ,
That is | her love:| for that | is all | in all.
PETRUCHIO
, 2 ,
, ,
,
Why that is | nothing:| for I | tell you |
father,
, 2 , 2 ,
, ,
I am as | peremp|tory as / she proud-|minded:
. T T T
x , ,
And where two rag|ing fires | meet to|gether,
, ,
, , ,
->
They do | consume | the thing | that feeds |
their fu||ry.
x x
, ,
,
Though / little fire | grows^great | with lit|tle
wind,
, ,
, ,
,
Yet ex/treme gusts | will blow | out fire | and
all:
, , ,
, ,
So I | to her,| and so | she yields | to me,
, ,
, T T . T
For I | am rough,| and woo | not like a babe.
BAPTISTA
, ,
, ,
,
Well mayst | thou woo,| and hap|py be | thy speed:
, , ,
, ,
But be | thou armed | for some | unhap|py words.
PETRUCHIO
,
, ,
, ,
Aye to | the proof,| as mount|ains are | for
winds,
, ,
, , 2 ,
That shake | not, though | they blow |
perpet|ually.
[Enter HORTENSIO, with his head broke]
BAPTISTA
, , ,
, ,
How now | my friend,| why* dost | thou look | so
pale?
HORTENSIO
, ,
, , ,
For fear | I prom|ise you,| if I | look pale.
BAPTISTA
, 2 ,
, ,
,
What, will my | daughter | prove a | good
mus|ician?
HORTENSIO
, ,
, , ,
I think | she'll soon|er prove | a sol|dier,
, , ,
, ,
Iron | may hold | with her,| but nev|er lutes.
BAPTISTA
, ,
, ,
,
Why then | thou canst | not break | her to | the
lute?
HORTENSIO
,
, , ,
,
Why no,| for she | hath broke | the lute | to
me:
, ,
, ,
,
I did | but tell | her she | mistook | her frets,
, ,
, , ,
And bowed | her hand | to teach | her fing|ering,
,
, ,
x
x
When (with | a most | impa|tient devil|ish
spirit)
T T . T
, , ,
Frets call you these?| (quoth^she)| I'll fume |
with them:
, ,
, ,
,
And with | that word | she struck | me on | the head,
, , ,
, ,
And through | the ins|trument | my pate | made^way,
, ,
, ,
,
And there | I stood | amaz|ed for | a while,
, , 2
, ,
,
As on | a pil|lory, look|ing through | the lute,
, ,
, , ,
While she | did call | me ras|cal, fid|dler,
, , ,
, ,
And twang|ling Jack;| with twen|ty such^/vile terms,
, , ,
, ,
As had | she stud|ied to | misuse | me so.
PETRUCHIO
T T .
T ,
, ,
Now by the world,| it is | a lus|ty wench,
, ,
, , ,
I love | her ten | times^more | than ere | I did,
, ,
, ,
,
O how | I long | to have | some chat | with her.
BAPTISTA
, ,
2 , , , 2
Well go | with me | and be not | so
dis|comfited.
, , ,
2 ,
,
Proceed | in prac/tice with my | younger |
daughter,
, , ,
, ,
She's^apt | to learn,| and thank|ful for /
good turns:
, , 2 , ,
,
Signior | Petruch|io, will | you go | with us,
, ,
, ,
,
Or shall | I send | my daught|er Kate | to you.
[Exeunt all but PETRUCHIO]
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
, ,
I pray | you do.| I will | attend | her here,
, , ,
, ,
And woo | her with | some spir|it when | she
comes,
,
, , ,
,
Say that | she rail,| why then | I'll tell | her
plain,
, ,
, ,
,
She sings | as sweet|ly as | a night|ingale:
,
, , ,
,
Say that | she frown,| I'll say | she looks | as
clear
, ,
, ,
,
As morn|ing ros|es new|ly washed | with dew:
,
, , ,
,
Say she | be mute,| and will | not speak | a
word,
,
, , ,
,
Then I'll | commend | her vol|ubil|ity,
, ,
2 ,
, ,
And say | she ut|tereth pier|cing el|oquence:
, ,
, , ,
If she | do bid | me pack,| I'll give | her
thanks,
, ,
, ,
,
As though | she bid | me stay | by her | a week:
, ,
, ,
,
If she | deny | to wed,| I'll crave | the day
, 2 , ,
, ,
When I shall | ask the | banns, and | when be |
married.
, , ,
, 2 ,
But here | she comes,| and now | Petruch|io
speak.
, ,
, ,
,
Good mor|row Kate,| for that's| your name | I
hear.
KATHERINE
, 2
, , ,
,
Well have you | heard, but | something | hard of | hearing:
, ,
2 ,
, ,
They call | me Kath|erine, that | do talk | of me.
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
2 T T T
You lie | in faith,| for you are | called plain
Kate,
, ,
, , ,
And bon|ny Kate,| and some|times Kate | the
cursed:
, , 2 ,
, ,
But Kate,| the pret|tiest Kate | in Christ|endom,
T . T T
, , ,
Kate of Kate Hall,| my sup|er-dain|ty Kate,
,

For daint|ies are / all Kates,| and there|fore
Kate

, 2 , ,
Take this of me,| Kate of my | conso|lation,
,
, , , ,
Hearing | thy mild|ness praised | in eve|ry town,
,
, , 2 , ,
Thy vir|tues spoke | of, and thy | beauty |
sounded,
, ,
, ,
,
Yet not | so deep|ly as | to thee | belongs,
, ,
, ,
,
Myself | am moved | to woo | thee for | my wife.
KATHERINE
T . T T , ,
, 2->
Moved, in good time,| let him | that moved | you
hith|er
, ,
, , ,
Remove | you hence:| I knew | you at | the first
,
, 2
You were | a move|able.
PETRUCHIO
,
, , 2
Why,| what's a | moveable?
KATHERINE
,
,
A joined-|stool.
PETRUCHIO
2 Tx T
T ,
Thou hast | hit it: come sit | on me.
KATHERINE

, ,
,
Asses | are made | to bear,| and so | are you.
PETRUCHIO

,
Women | are made | to bear,| and so | are you.
KATHERINE
T T T

No such jade | as you,| if me | you mean.
PETRUCHIO
, T T
T 2 ,
,
Alas | good Kate, I | will not burd|en thee,
,
, ,
, ,
For know|ing thee | to be | but young | and
light.
KATHERINE
, ,
, ,
,
Too light | for such | a swain | as you | to
catch,
, ,
, , ,
And yet | as hea|vy as | my weight | should be.
PETRUCHIO
, ,
Should be, | should: buzz.
KATHERINE

Well tane,| and like | a buz||zard.
PETRUCHIO

O / slow-winged | turtle,| shall a buz|zard take

KATHERINE

Aye | for a tur|tle, as | he takes | a buz||zard.
PETRUCHIO
,
, ,
,
2 ,
Come*, come | you wasp,| in faith,| you are too |
angry.
KATHERINE
,
, ,
, ,
If I | be wasp|ish, best | beware | my sting.
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
, ,
My rem|edy | is then | to pluck | it out.
KATHERINE
,
, , ,
,
Aye, if | the fool | could find | it where | it
lies.
PETRUCHIO
, ,
, ,
,
Who knows | not where^|a wasp | does wear | his
sting?
T T T
In his tail.
KATHERINE

In
his | tongue?
PETRUCHIO
T T
Whose tongue.
KATHERINE

, , ,
Yours if | you talk | of tails,| and so | farewell.
PETRUCHIO

What with | my tongue | in your tail. \\
,
, ,
, 2 x
Nay,
come^|again,| good Kate,| I am a | gentleman.
KATHERINE

That | I'll try. \\
[She strikes him]
PETRUCHIO

I swear | I'll cuff | you, if | you strike |
again.
KATHERINE

So may | you lose | your arms, \\
, , ,
, ,
If you | strike me,| you are | no gent/leman,
, ,

And if | no gent|leman,/ why then | no arms.
PETRUCHIO

A her|ald Kate?| Oh put | me in | thy books.
KATHERINE

What is | your crest,| A cox|comb?|
PETRUCHIO

A comb|less cock,| so Kate | will be | my hen.
KATHERINE

No cock | of mine,| you crow | too like a
crav||en.
PETRUCHIO

Nay* come | Kate, come:/ you must | not^look | so
sour.
KATHERINE

It is | my fash|ion when | I see | a crab.
PETRUCHIO

Why here's | no crab,| and there|fore look | not
sour.
KATHERINE

There is,| there is.
PETRUCHIO

Then show | it me. (di with prev)
KATHERINE

PETRUCHIO

T T T
What, you | mean my face? (tri with prev)
KATHERINE

Well^aimed | of such | a young | one. \\
PETRUCHIO

Now by | Saint^George | I am | too young | for you.
KATHERINE

Yet you are | withered. \\
PETRUCHIO

so.
KATHERINE

I chafe | you if | I tar|ry. Let | me go.
PETRUCHIO

No, not a | whit, I | find you | passing |
gentle:
,
, , ,
x
'Twas told | me you | were rough,| and coy,| and
sullen,
, ,

And now | I find | report | a ve|ry liar:
, 2 ,
, , ,
2
For thou are | pleasant,| gamesome,| passing |
courteous,
, ,
, . T T Tx
But slow | in speech:| yet sweet | as spring-time
flowers.
, ,
, ,
,
Thou canst | not frown,| thou canst | not look |
askance,

Nor bite | the lip,| as ang|ry wench|es will,
, ,
, ,
,
Nor hast | thou pleas|ure to | be cross | in
talk:

But thou | with mild|ness ent|ertainst | thy
wooers,
, ,
2 , ,
,
With gent|le con|ference, soft, and af|fable.
, ,
, , ,
Why does | the world | report | that Kate | doth
limp?
, 2 ,
T T . T ,
Oh sland|erous world:| Kate like the ha|zel-twig
, ,

Is straight,| and slend|er, and | as brown | in
hue

As haz|el nuts,| and sweet|er than | the kern||els:

Oh | let me see | thee walk:| thou dost | not halt.
KATHERINE

Go | fool,| and whom | thou keepst | command.
PETRUCHIO

Did ev|er Di|an so | become | a grove

As Kate | this chamb|er with | her prince|ly
gait:

O be | thou Di|an, and | let her | be Kate,
, , ,

And then | let Kate | be chaste,| and Di|an sport||ful.
KATHERINE

Where | did you stud|y all | this good|ly speech?
PETRUCHIO
, , , , ,
It is | extem|pore, from | my moth|er-wit.
KATHERINE

A wit|ty moth|er, wit|less else | her son.
PETRUCHIO

Am I not | wise?

Marry | so I mean | sweet* Kath|erine in | thy

Now* Sign|ior Petruch|io, how | speed you | with my ||

PETRUCHIO

How but | well sir?| How but | well?

amiss.
BAPTISTA

Why how | now daught|er Kath|erine, in | your
dumps?
KATHERINE

Call^you | me daught|er? Now | I prom|ise you

You have | showed a | tender | fatherly | regard,

To wish | me wed | to one half lun|atic,

A mad-|cup ruf|fian, and | a swear|ing Jack,

That thinks | with oaths | to face | the mat|ter
out.
PETRUCHIO
, ,
, ,
,
Father,| 'tis thus,| yourself | and all | the
world
,
, , ,
,
That talked | of her,| have talked | amiss | of her:
, ,
, , ,
If she | be cursed,| it is | for pol|icy,
, ,
, , 2
,
For she's | not fro|ward, but | modest | as the
dove,
, ,
, 2 ,
,
She is / not hot,| but temp|erate as | the morn,
, ,

x
For pa|tience she | will prove | a sec|ond
Grissel,

And Rom|an Lucre|ce for | her chast|ity:

And to con|clude, we have a|greed so | well
to|gether,

Be pa|tient gentle|men, I | choose her | for
myself,

,
If she | and I | be pleased,| what's that | to
you?
, , ,
, ,
'Tis barg|ained twixt | us twain | being | alone,
, , ,
, ,
That she | shall still | be cursed | in comp|any.
, ,
, 2 , ,
I tell | you 'tis | incred|ible to | believe
, ,

How much | she loves | me: oh | the kind|est
Kate,

She hung | about | my neck,| and kiss | on kiss

She vied | so fast,| protes|ting oath | on oath,

That in | a twink | she won | me to | her love.

Oh you | are nov|ices,| 'tis a world | to see

How tame | when men | and wom|en are | alone,

A mea|cock wretch | can make | the cursed|est
shrew:

Give me | thy hand | Kate, I | will unto | Venice

And I | am one | that love | Bian|ca more

Nay, I | have of|fered all,| I have | no more,

And she | can have | no more | than all | I have,

If you | like me,| she shall | have me | and

Why then | the maid | is mine | from all | the
