Scene 5

...is coming here.
Enter Vincentio.

...of thy company.
Fair sir, and you, my merry mistress,
That with your strange encounter much amazed me,
My name is called Vincentio, my dwelling Pisa,
And bound I am to Padua, there to visit
A son of mine which long I have not seen.


...is his name?
Lucentio, gentle sir.

...be full joyous.
But is this true, or is it else your pleasure,
Like pleasant travelers, to break a jest
Upon the company you overtake?


...made thee jealous.
All but Hortensio exit.

ACT 5
Scene 1

...all this while.
Enter Petruchio, Katherine, Vincentio, Grumio, with Attendants.

...leave you, sir.
You shall not choose but drink before you go.
I think I shall command your welcome here,
And by all likelihood some cheer is toward.

He knocks.

...down the gate?
Is Signior Lucentio within, sir?

...be spoken withal.
What if a man bring him a hundred pound
or two to make merry withal?


...at the window.
Art thou his father?

...brought to nothing.
to Biondello
Come hither, crack-hemp.

...may choose, sir.
Come hither, you rogue! What, have you
forgot me?


...all my life.
What, you notorious villain, didst thou
never see thy master’s father, Vincentio?


...of the window.
Is ’t so indeed?
He beats Biondello.

...beat my servant?
What am I, sir? Nay, what are you, sir! O
immortal gods! O fine villain! A silken doublet, a
velvet hose, a scarlet cloak, and a copatain hat! O, I
am undone, I am undone! While I play the good
husband at home, my son and my servant spend all
at the university.


...to maintain it.
Thy father! O villain, he is a sailmaker in
Bergamo.


...is his name?
His name? As if I knew not his name! I have
brought him up ever since he was three years old,
and his name is Tranio.


...me, Signior Vincentio.
Lucentio? O, he hath murdered his master!
Lay hold on him, I charge you in the Duke’s name.
O, my son, my son! Tell me, thou villain, where is
my son Lucentio?


...he be forthcoming.
Carry me to the jail?

...jail with him.
Thus strangers may be haled and abused.—
O monstrous villain!


...and Bianca kneel.
Lives my sweet son?

...deceive us all!
Where is that damnèd villain, Tranio,
That faced and braved me in this matter so?


...for my sake.
I’ll slit the villain’s nose that would have
sent me to the jail!


...asking my goodwill?
Fear not, Baptista, we will content you. Go
to! But I will in to be revenged for this villainy.

He exits.

Enter Baptista, Vincentio, Gremio, the Merchant, Lucentio, and Bianca; Hortensio and the Widow, Petruchio and Katherine; Tranio, Biondello, and Grumio, with Servingmen bringing in a banquet.

...well as eat.
They sit.

...head and horn.
Ay, mistress bride, hath that awakened you?

...shalt ha ’t.
’Tis a good hearing when children are toward.

...be tamed so.
They exit.
