I doubt it not sir. But you will curse Your wooing neighbours: this is a gift Very grateful, I am sure of it, to express The like kindness myself, that have been More kindly beholding to you then any Freely give unto this young scholar, that hath Been long studying at Rheims, as cunning In Greek, Latin, and other Languages, As the other in music and Mathematics: His name is Cambio: pray you accept his service. A thousand thankes signior Gremio: Welcome good Cambio. But gentle sir, Me thinks you walk like a stranger, May I be so bold, to know the cause of your coming? Pardon me sir, the boldness is mine own, That being a stranger in this City here, Do make myself a suitor to your daughter, Unto Bianca, fair and virtuous: Nor is your firm resolve, unknown to me, In the preferment of the eldest sister. This Liberty is all that I request, That upon knowledge of my parentage, I may have welcome 'mongst the rest that woe, And free access and favour as the rest. And toward the education of your daughters: I here bestow a simple instrument, And this small packet of Greek and Latin books: If you accept them, than their worth is great: Lucentio is your name of whence I pray. Of Pisa sir, son to Vincentio. A mighty man of Pisa by report, I know him well: you are very welcome sir: Take you the Lute, and you the set of books, You shall go see your pupils presently. Holla, within. Sirrah, lead these Gentlemen To my daughters, and tell them both These are their Tutors, bid them use them well, We will go walk a little in the Orchard, And then to dinner: you are passing welcome, And so I pray you all to think yourselves. Signior Baptista, my business asketh haste, And every day I cannot come to woe, You knew my father well, and in him me, Left solely heir to all his Lands and goods, Which I have bettered rather than decreased. Then tell me, If I get your daughter's love, What dowry shall I have with her to wife. After my death, the one half of my Lands, And in possession twenty thousand Crowns. And for that dowry, I'll assure her of Her widowhood, be it that she survive me In all my Lands and Leases whatsoever, Let specialties be therefore drawn between us, That covenants may be kept on either hand. I, when the special thing is well obtained, That is her love: for that is all in all. Why that is nothing: for I tell you father, I am as peremptory as she proud minded: And where two raging fires mere together, They do consume the thing that feeds their fury. Though little fire grows great with little wind, Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all: So I to her, and so she yields to me, For I am rough, and woe not like a babe.
