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.
:02:04
Tell me, Tranio,
:02:07
Tell me thy mind, for I have Pisa left
And am to Padua come
:02:12
As he that leaves
A shallow plash to plunge him in the deep,
:02:15
And with satiety seeks to quench his thirst.
:02:18
Why then, Lucentio, gentle master mine.
I am in all affected as yourself,
:02:25
Glad that you thus continue your resolve
To suck the sweets of sweet philosophy.
:02:34
Tranio!
:02:36
But... let us not be so confined by learning
That love becomes an outcast...
:02:45
quite abjur'd.
:02:58
No profit grows
where is no pleasure taken. Huh?
