2 Re-enter Baptista, Gremio and Tranio.
3 Signior Baptista, you are happily met.
4 Patience, good Katherine, and Baptista too.
5 Enter Baptista, Katherina, Bianca, Gremio and Hortensio.
6 Enter Petrucio, Katherina, Bianca, Baptista, Hortensio, Grumio and Train.
7 Over and beside Signior Baptista's liberality, I'll mend it with a largess.
8 Enter Baptista, Gremio, Tranio, Katherina, Bianca, Lucentio and Attendants.
9 Signior Baptista, my business asketh haste, And every day I cannot come to woo.
10 So could I, faith, boy, to have the next wish after, That Lucentio indeed had Baptista's youngest daughter.
11 But now, Baptista, to your younger daughter: Now is the day we long have looked for; I am your neighbour, and was suitor first.
12 Her father is Baptista Minola, An affable and courteous gentleman; Her name is Katherina Minola, Renown'd in Padua for her scolding tongue.
13 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.
14 Baptista is a noble gentleman, To whom my father is not all unknown; And were his daughter fairer than she is, She may more suitors have, and me for one.
15 This, by the way, I let you understand: 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.'
16 But come; since this bar in law makes us friends, it shall be so far forth friendly maintained, till by helping Baptista's eldest daughter to a husband, we set his youngest free for a husband, and then have to't afresh.
17 Now shall my friend Petruchio do me grace, And offer me disguis'd in sober robes, To old Baptista as a schoolmaster Well seen in music, to instruct Bianca; That so I may, by this device at least Have leave and leisure to make love to her, And unsuspected court her by herself.
