: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.
:12:00
O, Tranio, thou may'st hear a goddess speak.
:12:05
Go in, Bianca.
:12:07
O, no! Why, will you lock her up,
Signor Baptista, for this fiend of hell,

:12:12
And make her bear the penance of her tongue?
:12:15
- Gentlemen, content ye. I am resolv'd.
- But...

:12:17
And for I know she taketh most delight
ln music, instruments, and poetry,

:12:23
Schoolmasters will I keep within my house
Fit to instruct her youth.

:12:27
If you, Hortensio, or Signor Gremio, you,
Know any such, conduct them hither;

:12:31
for to schoolmasters I will be very kind.
And so farewell.

:12:39
- Fiend of hell!
- Schoolmasters...

:12:44
If you love the maid,
Bend thoughts and wits to achieve her.

:12:48
Thus it stands:
Her elder sister is so curst and shrewd

:12:52
That till the father rids his hands of her,
Master, your love must lie a maid at home.

:12:56
Ah, Tranio, what a cruel father's he!
