Master!

Master Lucentio.
:01:03
Now, in fulfilment of my great desire
To see fair Padua, nursery of arts,

:01:09
I am arriv'd in fruitful Lombardy,
The pleasant garden of great Italy.

:01:17
And by my father's love and leave am arm'd
With his good will and thy good company.

:01:29
So shall I please my father, Lord Vincentio,
:01:31
Who sent me hither from our home in Pisa,
On this, the first day of the scholar's year,

:01:36
To study at the university,
And deck his fortune with my virtuous deeds.

:01:43
Here let us breathe and haply institute
A course of learning and ingenious studies.

:01:49
And therefore, Tranio, for the time I'll study
Virtue, and that part of philosophy

:01:54
Will I apply which treats of happiness
By virtue specially to be achiev'd.
