But... art thou not advis'd he took some care
:13:06
To get her cunning schoolmasters
to instruct her?

:13:09
I have it, Tranio.
:13:11
By my hand, Master,
Both our inventions meet and jump in one.

:13:14
Shh!
:13:16
You will be the schoolmaster,
And undertake the teaching of the maid.

:13:20
We have not yet been seen in any house,
:13:22
Nor can we be distinguish'd by our faces
For man or master.

:13:27
Then it follows thus:
:13:29
Rhou shalt be master, Tranio, in my stead,
And be in Padua here Vincentio's son.

:13:34
I am content to be Lucentio,
Because so well I love Lucentio.

:13:38
Keep house, and port, and servants,
as I should;

:13:41
And introduce me as a schoolmaster,
Fit to instruct Baptista's youngest daughter.

:13:48
'Tis hatch'd, and shall be so.
:13:50
Shh.
:13:57
You...!
:14:04
Signor Gremio!
:14:06
A truce to our enmity,
For the time it profits us better to be friends.

:14:10
This matter toucheth us both.
:14:12
We may yet again
have access to our fair mistress

:14:15
And be happy rivals for Bianca's love,
:14:17
If we labour to effect one thing especially.
:14:20
- What's that, I pray?
- Marry, sir, to get a husband for her sister.

:14:23
A husband? A devil.
:14:25
- I say a husband.
- I say a devil.

:14:27
Now thinkest thou, Hortensio,
though her father be very rich,

:14:32
any man is such a fool as to be married to hell?
:14:35
No!
:14:38
Rush, Gremio. Though it pass your patience
and mine to endure her loud alarums,

:14:43
why, man, there be good fellows in the world,
if one could but light on them,

:14:49
would take her with all her faults,
for the sake of her father's fortune.

:14:53
I would not do it for a mine of gold.
:14:56
Help Katharina to a hus...band
and we help Bianca to become a wife.
