1:25:01
Mantua?
1:25:03
From Mantua? Marry, God forbid!
And come to Padua, careless of your life?

1:25:08
My life, sir? How, I pray? For that goes hard.
1:25:12
'Tis death for any one in Mantua
To come to Padua.

1:25:16
Nay, know you not the cause?
1:25:20
Your ships are stay'd at Venice, and the Duke,
For private quarrel 'twixt your Duke and him,

1:25:25
Hath publish'd and proclaim'd it openly.
1:25:28
Alas, sir, what would you advise me do?
1:25:31
This will I do, and this I will advise you do:
1:25:34
To save your life in this extremity,
This favour will I do you for your sake,

1:25:40
And think it not the worst of all your fortunes
That you are like to Lord Vincentio.

1:25:48
Your plainness and your shortness
please me well.

1:25:50
Right true it is your son Lucentio here
Doth love my daughter, and she loveth him.

1:25:56
Now therefore if you give me this assurance
1:25:59
That like a father you will deal with him,
And pass my daughter a sufficient dowry,

1:26:05
And covenants be signed,
1:26:10
At thy son's lodging -
for walls have ears and I have many servants -

1:26:17
Why, then, he has consent to wed Bianca.
1:26:19
Signor Baptista.
1:26:21
The match is made, the ceremony appointed
For Sunday next; and I will give a feast

1:26:26
Which, with the citizens of Padua here,
Petruchio and Katharine shall attend.
