Bianca! Bianca!
:10:18
- Bianca... Bianca! Bian...
- Signor Baptista...

:10:22
Gentlemen, importune me no further,
For how I firmly am resolv'd you know,

:10:26
Not to bestow my younger daughter Bianca
Before I have a husband for the elder.

:10:31
What?
:10:32
Before I have a husband for the elder!
:10:37
If either of you two love Katharina,
:10:39
Leave shall you have
to court her at your pleasure.

:10:42
O, hideous pleasure. She's too rough for me.
:10:46
I pray you, Father, is it your will
To make a whore of me among these mates?

:10:53
Mates, maid, how mean you that?
:10:55
No mates for you
Unless you were of milder, gentler mould.

:10:59
I' faith, sir, you shall have no need to fear.
Such mating is not half way to my heart.

:11:06
But if it were, doubt not my care should be
To paint your face, and use you like a fool.

:11:13
And comb your noddle
with a three-legg'd stool.

:11:18
That wench is stark mad...
or wonderful forward.

:11:24
But in the other's silence I do see
Maid's mild behaviour and sobriety.

:11:27
Let it not displease thee, good Bianca,
For I will love thee none the less... my girl.

:11:34
You are my most obedient and loving daughter.
:11:37
Pretty pet!
:11:42
O, sister, content you in my discontent.
:11:50
Sir, to your pleasure humbly I subscribe.
:11:55
My books and instruments
shall be my company,

:11:57
On them to look and practise by myself.
