Did you so you damned villain. This humour must I hold me to a while, To bridle and hold back my headstrong wife, With curbs of hunger: ease: and want of sleep, Nor sleep nor meat shall she enjoy tonight, I'll mew her up as men do mew their hawks, And make her gently come unto the lure, Were she as stubborn or as full of strength As were the Thracian horse Alcides tamed, That King Egeus fed with flesh of men, Yet would I pull her down and make her come As hungry hawks do fly unto there lure. Valeria attend: I have a lovely love, As bright as is the heaven crystalline, As fair as is the milk white way of Ioue, As chaste as Phoebe in her summer sports, As soft and tender as the azure down, That circles Citherea's silver doves. Her do I mean to make my lovely bride, And in her bed to breathe the sweet content, That I thou know'st long time have aimed at. Now Valeria it rests in thee to help To compass this, that I might gain my love, Which easily thou mayst perform at will, If that the merchant which thou toldst me of, Will as he said go to Alfonso's house, And say he is my father, and there with all Pass over certain deeds of land to me, That I thereby may gain my hearts desire, And he is promised reward of me. Fear not my Lord I'll fetch him straight to you, For he'll do any thing that you command, But tell me my Lord, is Ferando married then? He is: and Polidor shortly shall be wed, And he means to tame his wife erelong. He says so. Faith he's gone unto the taming school. The taming school; why is there such a place? I: and Ferando is the Master of the school. That's rare: but what decorum does he use? Faith I know not: but by some odd device Or other, but come Valeria I long to see the man, By whom we must comprise our plotted drift, That I may tell him what we have to do. Then come my Lord and I will bring you to him straight. Agreed, then let's go. Come Mistress. Sander I prithee help me to some meat, I am so faint that I can scarcely stand. I marry mistress but you know my master Has given me a charge that you must eat nothing, But that which he himself giveth you. Why man thy Master needs never know it. You say true indeed: why look you Mistress, What say you to a piece of beef and mustard now? Why I say 'tis excellent meat, canst thou help me to some? ay, I could help you to some but that I doubt the mustard is too choleric for you, But what say you to a sheeps head and garlic?

Did you ſo you damned villaine. This humor muſt I holde me to a while, To bridle and hold backe my headſtrong wife, With curbes of hunger: eaſe: and want of ſleepe, Nor ſleepe nor meate ſhall ſhe inioie to night, Ile mew her vp as men do mew their hawkes, And make her gentlie come vnto the lure, Were ſhe as ſtuborne or as full of ſtrength As were the Thracian horſe Alcides tamde, That King Egeus fed with fleſh of men, Yet would I pull her downe and make her come As hungry hawkes do flie vnto there lure. Valeria attend: I haue a louely loue, As bright as is the heauen criſtalline, As faire as is the milke white way of Ioue, As chaſt as Phoebe in her ſommer ſportes, As ſofte and tender as the aſure downe, That circles Cithereas ſiluer doues. Her do I meane to make my louely bride, And in her bed to breath the ſweete content, That I thou knowſt long time haue aimed at. Now Valeria it reſts in thee to helpe To compaſſe this, that I might gaine my loue, Which eaſilie thou maiſt performe at will, If that the marchant which thou toldſt me of, Will as he ſayd go to Alfonſos houſe, And ſay he is my father, and there with all Pas ouer certaine deedes of land to me, That I thereby may gaine my hearts deſire, And he is promiſed reward of me. Feare not my Lord Ile fetch him ſtraight to you, For hele do any thing that you command, But tell me my Lord, is Ferando married then? He is: and Polidor ſhortly ſhall be wed, And he meanes to tame his wife erelong. He ſaies ſo. Faith he's gon vnto the taming ſchoole. The taming ſchoole▪ why is there ſuch a place? I: and Ferando is the Maiſter of the ſchoole. Thats rare: but what decorum dos he vſe? Faith I know not: but by ſom odde deuiſe Or other, but come Valeria I long to ſee the man, By whome we muſt compriſe our plotted drift, That I may tell him what we haue to doo. Then come my Lord and I will bring you to him ſtraight. Agreed, then lets go. Come Miſtris. Sander I prethe helpe me to ſome meate, I am ſo faint that I can ſcarſely ſtande. I marry miſtris but you know my maiſter Has giuen me a charge that you muſt eate nothing, But that which he himſelfe giueth you. Why man thy Maiſter needs neuer know it. You ſay true indede: why looke you Miſtris, What ſay you to a peeſe of beeffe and muſtard now? Why I ſay tis excellent meate, canſt thou helpe me to ſome? I, I could helpe you to ſome but that I doubt the muſtard is too collerick for you, But what ſay you to a ſheepes head and garlick?
