KATHARINA:
|
I know it is the moon.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Nay, then you lie: it is the blessed sun.
|
KATHARINA:
|
Then, God be bless'd, it is the blessed sun:
|
But sun it is not, when you say it is not;
|
And the moon changes even as your mind.
|
What you will have it named, even that it is;
|
And so it shall be so for Katharina.
|
HORTENSIO:
|
Petruchio, go thy ways; the field is won.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Well, forward, forward! thus the bowl should run,
|
And not unluckily against the bias.
|
But, soft! company is coming here.
|
Good morrow, gentle mistress: where away?
|
Tell me, sweet Kate, and tell me truly too,
|
Hast thou beheld a fresher gentlewoman?
|
Such war of white and red within her cheeks!
|
What stars do spangle heaven with such beauty,
|
As those two eyes become that heavenly face?
|
Fair lovely maid, once more good day to thee.
|
Sweet Kate, embrace her for her beauty's sake.
|
HORTENSIO:
|
A' will make the man mad, to make a woman of him.
|
KATHARINA:
|
Young budding virgin, fair and fresh and sweet,
|
Whither away, or where is thy abode?
|
Happy the parents of so fair a child;
|
Happier the man, whom favourable stars
|
Allot thee for his lovely bed-fellow!
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Why, how now, Kate! I hope thou art not mad:
|
This is a man, old, wrinkled, faded, wither'd,
|
And not a maiden, as thou say'st he is.
|
KATHARINA:
|
Pardon, old father, my mistaking eyes,
|
That have been so bedazzled with the sun
|
That everything I look on seemeth green:
|
Now I perceive thou art a reverend father;
|
Pardon, I pray thee, for my mad mistaking.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Do, good old grandsire; and withal make known
|
Which way thou travellest: if along with us,
|
We shall be joyful of thy company.
|
VINCENTIO:
|
Fair sir, and you my merry mistress,
|
That with your strange encounter much amazed me,
|
My name is call'd Vincentio; my dwelling Pisa;
|
And bound I am to Padua; there to visit
|
A son of mine, which long I have not seen.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
What is his name?
|
VINCENTIO:
|
Lucentio, gentle sir.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Happily we met; the happier for thy son.
|
And now by law, as well as reverend age,
|
I may entitle thee my loving father:
|
The sister to my wife, this gentlewoman,
|
Thy son by this hath married. Wonder not,
|
Nor be grieved: she is of good esteem,
|
Her dowery wealthy, and of worthy birth;
|
Beside, so qualified as may beseem
|
The spouse of any noble gentleman.
|
Let me embrace with old Vincentio,
|
And wander we to see thy honest son,
|
Who will of thy arrival be full joyous.
|
VINCENTIO:
|
But is it true? or else is it your pleasure,
|
Like pleasant travellers, to break a jest
|
Upon the company you overtake?
|
HORTENSIO:
|
I do assure thee, father, so it is.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Come, go along, and see the truth hereof;
|
For our first merriment hath made thee jealous.
|
HORTENSIO:
|
Well, Petruchio, this has put me in heart.
|
Have to my widow! and if she be froward,
|
Then hast thou taught Hortensio to be untoward.
