Why I am buying merchandise of him. I thank you sir and would Phylena might In any courtesy requite you so, As she with willing heart could well bestow. She is making of his ready father To go to church and if that he were come. Not for great Neptune, no nor Jove himself, Will Phylema leave Aurelius love, Could he install me Empres of the world, Or make me Queen and guidres of the heavens, Yet would I not exchange thy love for his, Thy company is poor Philemas heaven, And without thee, heaven were hell to me. And should my love as erst Leander did, Attempt to swim the boiling helispont For Heros love: no towers of brass should hold But I would follow thee through those raging floods, With locks disheuered and my breast all bore, With bent knees upon Abidas shore, I would with smoky sighs and brinish tears, Importune Neptune and the watery Gods, To send a guard of silver scaled Dolphins, With sounding Tritons to be our convoy, And to transport us safe unto the shore, While I would hang about thy lovely neck, Redoubling kiss on kiss upon thy cheeks, And with our pastime still the swelling waves. Let Eole storm: be mild and quiet thou, Let Neptune swell, be Aurelius calm and pleased, I care not I, betide what may betide, Let fates and fortune do the worst they can, I reck them not: they not discord with me, While that my love and I do well agree Thanks good my Lord and I no longer live, Then I obey and honour you in all: I for making a fool of her self and us. And yet I hardly think that he can tame her. For when he has done she will do what she list. Let me entreat your grace upon my knees, To pardon him and let my death discharge The heavy wrath your grace hath vowed gainst him. I warrant you sir take you no care, I'll use my self so cunning in the cause, As you shall soon enjoy your hearts delight. Thanks Alfonso, for thats your name I guess, I understand my son hath set his mind And bent his liking to your daughters love, And for because he is my only son, And I would gladly that he should do well, I tell you sir, I not mislike his choice, If you agree to give him your consent, He shall have living to maintain his state, Three hundred pounds a year I will assure To him and to his heirs, and if they do join, And knit themselves in holy wedlock band, A thousand massy in gets of pure gold, And twice as many bares of silver plate, I freely give him, and in writing straight, I will confirm what I have said in words. I humbly thank your honour good my Lord, And ere we part before your honour here: Shall articles of such content be drawn, As betwixt our houses and post ities, Eternally this league of peace shall last, Inuiolat and pure on either partly: But Polidor let my son and you take heed, That Ferando say not ere long as much to you, And now Alfonso more to show my love, If unto Cestus you do send your ships, My self will fraught them with Arabian silks, Rich Afric spices Arras counter poines, Musk Cassia: sweet smelling Ambergris, Pearl, curroll crystal, jet, and ivory, To gratulate the favors of my son, And friendly love that you have shone to him. Why sir, are you acquainted with my son?

A play is performed for him: The Taming of a Shrew. In the play, Aurelius of Sestos, newly arrived in Athens, falls in love with Philema; his friend Polidor already loves her sister, Emelia. To pursue his love, Aurelius pretends to be a wealthy merchant’s son and has his man Valeria assume his aristocratic identity. However, the girls’ father Alfonso has decreed that his eldest daughter Kate, a shrewish scold, must be married before them. The two wooers decide to persuade Ferando to marry Kate, but Alfonso has already promised him six thousand crowns to undertake the same task He and Kate meet unchaperoned, and they wrangle, but the marriage is arranged for the following Sunday; Kate seems outwardly unwilling but consents in an aside. Ferando goes to prepare his country house. Valeria is sent to teach Kate the lute, but she behaves aggressively. On the wedding day Ferando arrives in base clothes and forces Kate to leave with him immediately after the ceremony. When they arrive in the country, he claims that the dinner is burnt, and beats his servants. She is kept hungry, and denied her choice of clothing. Aurelius has Philotus pose as his father to persuade Alfonso that he is wealthy enough to marry Philema. He and Polidor are married to Kate’s younger sisters.
