---|
She will not come: she bids you come to her.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Worse and worse; she will not come! O vile,
|
Intolerable, not to be endured!
|
Sirrah Grumio, go to your mistress;
|
Say, I command her to come to me.
|
HORTENSIO:
|
I know her answer.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
What?
|
HORTENSIO:
|
She will not.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
The fouler fortune mine, and there an end.
|
BAPTISTA:
|
Now, by my holidame, here comes Katharina!
|
KATHARINA:
|
What is your will, sir, that you send for me?
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Where is your sister, and Hortensio's wife?
|
KATHARINA:
|
They sit conferring by the parlor fire.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Go fetch them hither: if they deny to come.
|
Swinge me them soundly forth unto their husbands:
|
Away, I say, and bring them hither straight.
|
LUCENTIO:
|
Here is a wonder, if you talk of a wonder.
|
HORTENSIO:
|
And so it is: I wonder what it bodes.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Marry, peace it bodes, and love and quiet life,
|
And awful rule and right supremacy;
|
And, to be short, what not, that's sweet and happy?
|
BAPTISTA:
|
Now, fair befal thee, good Petruchio!
|
The wager thou hast won; and I will add
|
Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns;
|
Another dowry to another daughter,
|
For she is changed, as she had never been.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Nay, I will win my wager better yet
|
And show more sign of her obedience,
|
Her new-built virtue and obedience.
|
See where she comes and brings your froward wives
|
As prisoners to her womanly persuasion.
|
Katharina, that cap of yours becomes you not:
|
Off with that bauble, throw it under-foot.
|
Widow:
|
Lord, let me never have a cause to sigh,
|
Till I be brought to such a silly pass!
|
BIANCA:
|
Fie! what a foolish duty call you this?
|
LUCENTIO:
|
I would your duty were as foolish too:
|
The wisdom of your duty, fair Bianca,
|
Hath cost me an hundred crowns since supper-time.
|
BIANCA:
|
The more fool you, for laying on my duty.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Katharina, I charge thee, tell these headstrong women
|
What duty they do owe their lords and husbands.
|
Widow:
|
Come, come, you're mocking: we will have no telling.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
Come on, I say; and first begin with her.
|
Widow:
|
She shall not.
|
PETRUCHIO:
|
I say she shall: and first begin with her.
|
KATHARINA:
|
Fie, fie! unknit that threatening unkind brow,
|
And dart not scornful glances from those eyes,
|
To wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor:
|
It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads,
|
Subsets and Splits
