Why then the maid is mine from all the world By your firm promise, Gremio is out-uied. I must confess your offer is the best, And let your father make her the assurance, She is your own, else you must pardon me: If you should die before him where's her dower? That's but a cavil: he is old, I young. And may not young men die as well as old? Well Gentlemen, I am thus resolved, On sonday next, you know, My daughter Katherine is to be married: Now on the sonday following shall Bianca Be Bride to you, if you make this assurance: If not to Signior Gremio: And so I take my leave, and thank you both. Adieu good neighbour: now I fear thee not: Sirrah, young gamester, your father were a fool To give thee all, and in his waning age Set foot under thy table: tut, a toy, An old Italian fox is not so kind my boy. A vengeance on your crafty withered hide, Yet I have faced it with a card often: 'Tis in my head to do my master good: I see no reason but supposed Lucentio Must get a father, called supposed Vincentio, And that's a wonders: fathers commonly Do get their children: but in this case of wooing, A child shall get a sire, if I fail not of my cunning. Fidler forbear you grow too forward Sir, Have you so soon forgot the entertainment Her sister Katherine welcomed you withal. But wrangling pedant this is The patroness of heavenly harmony: Then give me leave to have Prerogative, And when in music we have spent an hour Your Lecture shall have leisure for as much. Preposterous Ass that never read so far, To know the cause why music was ordained: Was it not to refresh the mind of man After his studies, or his usual pain? Then give me leave to read Philosophy And while I pause, serve in your harmony. Sirrah, I will bear these braves of thine. Why Gentlemen, you do me double wrong, To strive for that which resteth 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 myself, And to cut off all strife here sit we down, Take you the instrument play you the while, His Lecture will be done ere you have tuned, You'll leave his Lecture when I am in tune? That will be never, tune your instrument, Where left we last? Hear Madam: Hic Ibat Simois, hic est sigeria telus, hic steterat Priami regia Celsa senis. Construe them. Hic Ibat, as I told you before▪ Simois, I am Lucentio, hic est, son unto Vincentio of Pisa, Sigeria tellus, disguised thus to get your love, hic steterat, and that Lucentio that comes a wooing Priami, is my man Tranio, regia, bearing my port, celsa senis that we might beguile the old Pantalowne.

Why then the maid is mine from all the world By your firme promiſe, Gremio is out-uied. I muſt confeſſe your offer is the beſt, And let your father make her the aſſurance, She is your owne, elſe you muſt pardon me: If you ſhould die before him where's her dower? That's but a cauill: hee is olde, I yong. And may not yong men die as well as old? Well Gentlemen, I am thus reſolu'd, On ſonday next, you know, My daughter Katherine is to be married: Now on the ſonday following ſhall Bianca Be Bride to you, if you make this aſſurance: If not to Signior Gremio: And ſo I take my leaue, and thanke you both. Adieu good neighbour: now I feare thee not: Sirra, yong gameſter, your father were a foole To giue thee all, and in his waining age Set foot vnder thy table: tut, a toy, An olde Italian foxe is not ſo kinde my boy. A vengeance on your crafty withered hide, Yet I haue fac'd it with a card often: 'Tis in my head to doe my maſter good: I ſee no reaſon but ſuppos'd Lucentio Muſt get a father, call'd ſuppos'd Vincentio, And that's a wonders: fathers commonly Doe get their children: but in this caſe of woing, A childe ſhall get a ſire, if I faile not of my cunning. Fidler forbeare you grow too forward Sir, Haue you ſo ſoone forgot the entertainment Her ſiſter Katherine welcom'd you withall. But wrangling pedant this is The patroneſſe of heauenly harmony: Then giue me leaue to haue Prerogatiue, And when in muſicke we haue ſpent an houre Your Lecture ſhall haue leiſure for as much. Prepoſterous Aſſe that neuer read ſo farre, To know the cauſe why muſicke was ordain'd: Was it not to refreſh the mind of man After his ſtudies, or his vſuall paine? Then giue me leaue to read Philoſophy And while I pauſe, ſerue in your harmony. Sirra, I will beare theſe braues of thine. Why Gentlemen, you do me double wrong, To ſtriue for that which reſteth in my choice: I am no breeching ſcholler in the ſchooles, Ile not be tied to houres nor pointed times, But learne my Leſſons as I pleaſe my ſelfe, And to cut off all ſtrife heere ſit we downe, Take you the inſtrument play you the whiles, His Lecture will be done ere you haue tun'd, You'll leaue his Lecture when I am in tune? That will be neuer, tune your inſtrument, Where left we laſt? Heere Madam: Hic Ibat Simois, hic eſt ſigeria telus, hic ſteterat Priami regia Celſa ſenis. Conſter them. Hic Ibat, as I told you before▪ Simois, I am Lucentio, hic eſt, ſonne vnto Vincentio of Piſa, Sigeria tellus, diſguiſed thus to get your loue, hic ſteterat, and that Lucentio that comes a wooing Priami, is my man Tranio, regia, bearing my port, celſa ſenis that we might beguile the old Pantalowne.
