## ACT IV.

## SCENE I. PETRUCHIO'S _country house_.

_Enter_ GRUMIO.

_Gru._ Fie, fie on all tired jades, on all mad masters, and all foul ways! Was ever man so beaten? was ever man so rayed? was ever man so weary? I am sent before to make a fire, and they are coming after to warm them. Now, were not I a little pot, and soon hot, my very lips 5 might freeze to my teeth, my tongue to the roof of my mouth, my heart in my belly, ere I should come by a fire to thaw me: but I, with blowing the fire, shall warm myself; for, considering the weather, a taller man than I will take cold. Holla, ho! Curtis! 10

_Enter_ CURTIS.

_Curt._ Who is that calls so coldly?

_Gru._ A piece of ice: if thou doubt it, thou mayst slide from my shoulder to my heel with no greater a run but my head and my neck. A fire, good Curtis.

_Curt._ Is my master and his wife coming, Grumio? 15

_Gru._ O, ay, Curtis, ay: and therefore fire, fire; cast on no water.

_Curt._ Is she so hot a shrew as she's reported?

_Gru._ She was, good Curtis, before this frost: but, thou knowest, winter tames man, woman, and beast; for it hath 20 tamed my old master, and my new mistress, and myself, fellow Curtis.

_Curt._ Away, you three-inch fool! I am no beast.

_Gru._ Am I but three inches? why, thy horn is a foot; and so long am I at the least. But wilt thou make a fire, 25 or shall I complain on thee to our mistress, whose hand, she being now at hand, thou shalt soon feel, to thy cold comfort, for being slow in thy hot office?

_Curt._ I prithee, good Grumio, tell me, how goes the world? 30

_Gru._ A cold world, Curtis, in every office but thine; and therefore fire: do thy duty, and have thy duty; for my master and mistress are almost frozen to death.

_Curt._ There's fire ready; and therefore, good Grumio, the news. 35

_Gru._ Why, 'Jack, boy! ho! boy!' and as much news as thou wilt.

_Curt._ Come, you are so full of cony-catching!

_Gru._ Why, therefore fire; for I have caught extreme cold. Where's the cook? is supper ready, the house trimmed, 40 rushes strewed, cobwebs swept; the serving-men in their new fustian, their white stockings, and every officer his wedding-garment on? Be the jacks fair within, the jills fair without, the carpets laid, and every thing in order?

_Curt._ All ready; and therefore, I pray thee, news. 45

_Gru._ First, know, my horse is tired; my master and mistress fallen out.

_Curt._ How?

_Gru._ Out of their saddles into the dirt; and thereby hangs a tale. 50

_Curt._ Let's ha't, good Grumio.

_Gru._ Lend thine ear.

_Curt._ Here.

_Gru._ There. [_Strikes him._

_Curt._ This is to feel a tale, not to hear a tale. 55

_Gru._ And therefore 'tis called a sensible tale: and this cuff was but to knock at your ear, and beseech listening. Now I begin: _Imprimis_, we came down a foul hill, my master riding behind my mistress,--

_Curt._ Both of one horse? 60

_Gru._ What's that to thee?

_Curt._ Why, a horse.

_Gru._ Tell thou the tale: but hadst thou not crossed me, thou shouldst have heard how her horse fell and she under her horse; thou shouldst have heard in how miry a 65 place, how she was bemoiled, how he left her with the horse upon her, how he beat me because her horse stumbled, how she waded through the dirt to pluck him off me, how he swore, how she prayed, that never prayed before, how I cried, how the horses ran away, how her bridle was burst, 70 how I lost my crupper, with many things of worthy memory, which now shall die in oblivion and thou return unexperienced to thy grave.

_Curt._ By this reckoning he is more shrew than she.

_Gru._ Ay; and that thou and the proudest of you all 75 shall find when he comes home. But what talk I of this? Call forth Nathaniel, Joseph, Nicholas, Philip, Walter, Sugarsop and the rest: let their heads be sleekly combed, their blue coats brushed and their garters of an indifferent knit: let them curtsy with their left legs and not presume 80 to touch a hair of my master's horse-tail till they kiss their hands. Are they all ready?

_Curt._ They are.

_Gru._ Call them forth.

_Curt._ Do you hear, ho? you must meet my master to 85 countenance my mistress!

_Gru._ Why, she hath a face of her own.

_Curt._ Who knows not that?

_Gru._ Thou, it seems, that calls for company to countenance her. 90

_Curt._ I call them forth to credit her.

_Gru._ Why, she comes to borrow nothing of them.

_Enter four or five_ serving-men.

_Nath._ Welcome home, Grumio!

_Phil._ How now, Grumio!

_Jos._ What, Grumio! 95

_Nich._ Fellow Grumio!

_Nath._ How now, old lad?

_Gru._ Welcome, you;--how now, you;--what, you;--fellow, you;--and thus much for greeting. Now, my spruce companions, is all ready, and all things neat? 100

_Nath._ All things is ready. How near is our master?

_Gru._ E'en at hand, alighted by this; and therefore be not--Cock's passion, silence! I hear my master.

_Enter_ PETRUCHIO _and_ KATHARINA.

_Pet._ Where be these knaves? What, no man at door To hold my stirrup nor to take my horse! 105 Where is Nathaniel, Gregory, Philip?

_All Serv._ Here, here, sir; here, sir.

_Pet._ Here, sir! here, sir! here, sir! here, sir! You logger-headed and unpolish'd grooms! What, no attendance? no regard? no duty? 110 Where is the foolish knave I sent before?

_Gru._ Here, sir; as foolish as I was before.

_Pet._ You peasant swain! you whoreson malt-horse drudge! Did I not bid thee meet me in the park, And bring along these rascal knaves with thee? 115

_Gru._ Nathaniel's coat, sir, was not fully made, And Gabriel's pumps were all unpink'd i' the heel; There was no link to colour Peter's hat, And Walter's dagger was not come from sheathing: There were none fine but Adam, Ralph, and Gregory; 120 The rest were ragged, old, and beggarly; Yet, as they are, here are they come to meet you.

_Pet._ Go, rascals, go, and fetch my supper in. [_Exeunt Servants._ [_Singing_] Where is the life that late I led--

Where are those--Sit down, Kate, and welcome.-- 125 Soud, soud, soud, soud!

_Re-enter_ Servants _with supper_.

Why, when, I say? Nay, good sweet Kate, be merry. Off with my boots, you rogues! you villains, when? [_Sings._

It was the friar of orders grey, As he forth walked on his way:-- 130

Out, you rogue! you pluck my foot awry: Take that, and mend the plucking off the other. [_Strikes him._

Be merry, Kate. Some water, here; what, ho! Where's my spaniel Troilus? Sirrah, get you hence, And bid my cousin Ferdinand come hither: 135 One, Kate, that you must kiss, and be acquainted with. Where are my slippers? Shall I have some water?

_Enter one with water._

Come, Kate, and wash, and welcome heartily. You whoreson villain! will you let it fall? [_Strikes him._

_Kath._ Patience, I pray you; 'twas a fault unwilling. 140

_Pet._ A whoreson beetle-headed, flap-ear'd knave! Come, Kate, sit down; I know you have a stomach. Will you give thanks, sweet Kate; or else shall I? What's this? mutton?

_First Serv._ Ay.

_Pet._ Who brought it?

_Peter._ I.

_Pet._ 'Tis burnt; and so is all the meat. 145 What dogs are these! Where is the rascal cook? How durst you, villains, bring it from the dresser, And serve it thus to me that love it not? There, take it to you, trenchers, cups, and all: [_Throws the meat, &c. about the stage._ You heedless joltheads and unmanner'd slaves! 150 What, do you grumble? I'll be with you straight.

_Kath._ I pray you, husband, be not so disquiet: The meat was well, if you were so contented.

_Pet._ I tell thee, Kate, 'twas burnt and dried away; And I expressly am forbid to touch it, 155 For it engenders choler, planteth anger; And better 'twere that both of us did fast, Since, of ourselves, ourselves are choleric, Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh. Be patient; to-morrow't shall be mended, 160 And, for this night, we'll fast for company: Come, I will bring thee to thy bridal chamber. [_Exeunt._

_Re-enter_ Servants _severally_.

_Nath._ Peter, didst ever see the like?

_Peter._ He kills her in her own humour.

_Re-enter_ CURTIS.

_Gru._ Where is he? 165

_Curt._ In her chamber, making a sermon of continency to her; And rails, and swears, and rates, that she, poor soul, Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak, And sits as one new-risen from a dream. 170 Away, away! for he is coming hither. [_Exeunt._

_Re-enter_ PETRUCHIO.

_Pet._ Thus have I politicly begun my reign, And 'tis my hope to end successfully. My falcon now is sharp and passing empty; And till she stoop she must not be full-gorged, 175 For then she never looks upon her lure. Another way I have to man my haggard, To make her come and know her keeper's call, That is, to watch her, as we watch these kites That bate and beat and will not be obedient. 180 She eat no meat to-day, nor none shall eat; Last night she slept not, nor to-night she shall not; As with the meat, some undeserved fault I'll find about the making of the bed; And here I'll fling the pillow, there the bolster, 185 This way the coverlet, another way the sheets: Ay, and amid this hurly I intend That all is done in reverend care of her; And in conclusion she shall watch all night: And if she chance to nod I'll rail and brawl 190 And with the clamour keep her still awake. This is a way to kill a wife with kindness; And thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humour. He that knows better how to tame a shrew, Now let him speak: 'tis charity to show. [_Exit._ 195

_Enter_ TRANIO _and_ HORTENSIO.

_Tra._ Is't possible, friend Licio, that Mistress Bianca Doth fancy any other but Lucentio? I tell you, sir, she bears me fair in hand.

_Hor._ Sir, to satisfy you in what I have said, Stand by and mark the manner of his teaching. 5

_Enter_ BIANCA _and_ LUCENTIO.

_Luc._ Now, mistress, profit you in what you read?

_Bian._ What, master, read you? first resolve me that.

_Luc._ I read that I profess, the Art to Love.

_Bian._ And may you prove, sir, master of your art!

_Luc._ While you, sweet dear, prove mistress of my heart! 10

_Hor._ Quick proceeders, marry! Now, tell me, I pray, You that durst swear that your mistress Bianca Loved none in the world so well as Lucentio.

_Tra._ O despiteful love! unconstant womankind! I tell thee, Licio, this is wonderful. 15

_Hor._ Mistake no more: I am not Licio, Nor a musician, as I seem to be; But one that scorn to live in this disguise, For such a one as leaves a gentleman, And makes a god of such a cullion: 20 Know, sir, that I am call'd Hortensio.

_Tra._ Signior Hortensio, I have often heard Of your entire affection to Bianca; And since mine eyes are witness of her lightness, I will with you, if you be so contented, 25 Forswear Bianca and her love for ever.

_Hor._ See, how they kiss and court! Signior Lucentio, Here is my hand, and here I firmly vow Never to woo her more, but do forswear her, As one unworthy all the former favours 30 That I have fondly flatter'd her withal.

_Tra._ And here I take the like unfeigned oath, Never to marry with her though she would entreat: Fie on her! see, how beastly she doth court him!

_Hor._ Would all the world but he had quite forsworn! 35 For me, that I may surely keep mine oath, I will be married to a wealthy widow, Ere three days pass, which hath as long loved me As I have loved this proud disdainful haggard. And so farewell, Signior Lucentio. 40 Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love: and so I take my leave, In resolution as I swore before. [_Exit._

_Tra._ Mistress Bianca, bless you with such grace As 'longeth to a lover's blessed case! 45 Nay, I have ta'en you napping, gentle love, And have forsworn you with Hortensio.

_Bian._ Tranio, you jest: but have you both forsworn me?

_Tra._ Mistress, we have.

_Luc._ Then we are rid of Licio.

_Tra._ I'faith, he'll have a lusty widow now, 50 That shall be woo'd and wedded in a day.

_Bian._ God give him joy!

_Tra._ Ay, and he'll tame her.

_Bian._ He says so, Tranio.

_Tra._ Faith, he is gone unto the taming-school.

_Bian._ The taming-school! what, is there such a place? 55

_Tra._ Ay, mistress, and Petruchio is the master; That teacheth tricks eleven and twenty long, To tame a shrew and charm her chattering tongue.

_Enter_ BIONDELLO.

_Bion._ O master, master, I have watch'd so long That I am dog-weary! but at last I spied 60 An ancient angel coming down the hill, Will serve the turn.

_Tra._ What is he, Biondello?

_Bion._ Master, a mercatantè, or a pedant, I know not what; but formal in apparel, In gait and countenance surely like a father. 65

_Luc._ And what of him, Tranio?

_Tra._ If he be credulous and trust my tale, I'll make him glad to seem Vincentio, And give assurance to Baptista Minola, As if he were the right Vincentio. 70 Take in your love, and then let me alone. [_Exeunt Lucentio and Bianca._

_Enter a_ Pedant.

_Ped._ God save you, sir!

_Tra._ And you, sir! you are welcome. Travel you far on, or are you at the farthest?

_Ped._ Sir, at the farthest for a week or two: But then up farther, and as far as Rome; 75 And so to Tripoli, if God lend me life.

_Tra._ What countryman, I pray?

_Ped._ Of Mantua.

_Tra._ Of Mantua, sir? marry, God forbid! And come to Padua, careless of your life?

_Ped._ My life, sir! how, I pray? for that goes hard. 80

_Tra._ 'Tis death for any one in Mantua To come to Padua. Know you not the cause? Your ships are stay'd at Venice; and the Duke, For private quarrel 'twixt your duke and him, Hath publish'd and proclaim'd it openly: 85 'Tis marvel, but that you are but newly come, You might have heard it else proclaim'd about.

_Ped._ Alas, sir, it is worse for me than so! For I have bills for money by exchange From Florence, and must here deliver them. 90

_Tra._ Well, sir, to do you courtesy, This will I do, and this I will advise you: First, tell me, have you ever been at Pisa?

_Ped._ Ay, sir, in Pisa have I often been; Pisa renowned for grave citizens. 95

_Tra._ Among them know you one Vincentio?

_Ped._ I know him not, but I have heard of him; A merchant of incomparable wealth.

_Tra._ He is my father, sir; and, sooth to say, In countenance somewhat doth resemble you. 100

_Bion._ As much as an apple doth an oyster, and all one. [_Aside._

_Tra._ To save your life in this extremity, This favour will I do you for his sake; And think it not the worst of all your fortunes That you are like to Sir Vincentio. 105 His name and credit shall you undertake, And in my house you shall be friendly lodged: Look that you take upon you as you should; You understand me, sir: so shall you stay Till you have done your business in the city: 110 If this be courtesy, sir, accept of it.

_Ped._ O sir, I do; and will repute you ever The patron of my life and liberty.

_Tra._ Then go with me to make the matter good. This, by the way, I let you understand; 115 My father is here look'd for every day, To pass assurance of a dower in marriage 'Twixt me and one Baptista's daughter here: In all these circumstances I'll instruct you: Go with me to clothe you as becomes you. [_Exeunt._ 120
