Sister content you in my discontent. Sir oh your pleasure humbly I subscribe: My books and instruments shall be my company, On them to look, and practice by my self. If thou affect him sister, here I swear I'll plead for you my self, but you shall have him. Is it for him you do envy me so? Nay then you jest, and now I well perceive You have but jested with me all this while: I pre thee sister Kate unite my hands. Where left we last? Construe them. Let's hear, o fie the Triple jars. Now let me see if I can construe it. hic ibat simois, I know you not, hic est sigeria tellus, I trust you not, hic staterat Priami take heed he hear us not, regia presume not, Celsa senis dis pair not. Mistrust it not, for sure Aeacides. Was Ajax called so from his grandfather. Why, I am passed my gamouth long ago. Gamouth I am the ground of all accord: A re, to plead Hortensio's passion: Be me, Bianca take him for thy Lord C fa ut, that loves with all affection: Worser solemnizing re, one Cliff, two notes have I, E la mi, show pity or I die. Call you this gamouth? tut I Like it not, Old fashions please me best, I am not so nice To charge true rules for old inventions. Farewell sweet Master's both, I must be gone. That being mad her self, she's madly mated. What Master read you first, resolve me that? And may you prove sir Master of your Art. Tranio you jest, but have you both forsworn me? God give him joy. The taming school: what is there such a place? Pardon deer father. Cambio is changed into Lucentio. Head, and But and hasty witted body, Would say your Head and But were head and horn. I, but not frighted me, therefore I'll sleep again, Am I your Bird, I mean to shift my bush, And then pursue me as you draw my Bow. You are welcome all. Exit Bianca. Fie what a foolish duty call you this? The more fool you for laying on my duty. Good sister wrong me not, nor wrong your self, To make a bondmaid and a slave of me, That I disdain: but for these other goods, Unbind my hands, I'll pull them off my self, Yea all my raiment to my petticoat, Or what you will command me, will I do, So well I know my duty to my elders. Believe me sister, of all the men alive, I never yet beheld that special face, Which I could fancy, more then any other. He says so Tranio Why Gentlemen, you do me double wrong, To strive for that which rests in my choice: I am no breeching scholar in the schools, I'll not be tied to hours nor pointed times, But learn my Lessons as I please my self, And to cut off all strife here fit we down, Take you the instrument play you the while, His Lecture will be done ere you have tuned,
Plot summary
Plot — The Taming of the Shrew
: GHHStSpHEMSIy is ejected from a tavern after breaking some glasses and refusing to pay for them. A lord finds him in a drunken stupor, takes him home, and plays a prank on him: he is treated as if he is himself a lord who has just woken from a dream of being a beggar. Players visit the lord and he engages them to perform for Sly. ; In the play, BaptistalMindla refuses to allow his younger daughter Bidi@a to marry any of her suitors before her elder sister Kath@filia is married. Katherina is not considered a desirable wife: she is aggressive and disobedient. The rival suitors H@HEnSio and Greiilio agree to find someone to marry Katherina. Hortensio jokingly suggests the idea to his friend PEHWEEID, only to find that Petruccio is willing to co-operate, so long as Katherina brings an adequate dowry; Hortensio and Gremio agree to pay his expenses. Baptista asks the various suitors to provide schoolmasters to instruct Bianca, and two of them see this as an opportunity to get closer access to her: Hortensio poses as Bifi6, a music master, and gets Petruccio to present him to the household; and Digentio, a new arrival in Padua, poses as Cambio, a Latin teacher, while his servant [faiio assumes his identity and presents himself to Baptista as another suitor for Bianca. Petruccio woos Katherina by insisting on her beauty and refusing to rise to her bad behaviour. Afterwards he tells her father that she has consented to marry him, and pre-empts her contradiction by claiming they have agreed that she will remain contrary in public until the wedding. On the wedding day, he arrives late and inappropriately dressed, and behaves badly at the ceremony. As soon as they are married, he insists they leave for his home, rather than celebrate with | Katherina’s family and friends. At home, he violently abuses his servants, sees to it that she neither eats nor sleeps, and finds fault with her choice of new clothing. Baptista offers Bianca to ‘Lucentio’, so long as he can produce evidence to confirm that he can offer her a better financial settlement than Gremio. Lucentio and Tranio persuade a schoolmaster from Mantua that any . Mantuan found in Padua will be executed, and allow him to pose as Lucentio’s father, WiH@@Hiid} he underwrites Lucentio’s expectations, and the marriage is agreed. Hortensio decides to marry a wealthy widow, and visits Petruccio with the news. Petruccio and Katherina set out for Padua, but Petruccio will only leave when his wife agrees with him that…
