:18:01
Thou'dst thank me but a little for my counsel,
And yet I promise thee she shall be rich,
:18:07
And very rich.
:18:10
But then, th'art too much my friend,
And I'll not wish thee to her.
:18:15
O' my word, and she knew him as well as I do,
she'd think scolding would do him little good.
:18:21
Signor Hortensio, 'twixt such friends as we
Few words suffice;
:18:27
And therefore, if you know
One rich enough to be Petruchio's wife -
:18:31
Since wealth's the burden of my wooing dance -
:18:38
Be she as foul as was Florentius' love,
:18:41
As old as Sibyl, and as curst and shrewd
As Socrates' Xanthippe, or a worse,
:18:46
She moves me not, or not removes at least
Affection's edge in me,
:18:50
Were she as rough
As are the swelling Adriatic seas.
:18:55
I come to wive it wealthily in Padua;
If wealthily, then happily in Padua.
:19:05
Nay, look you, sir,
he tells you flatly what his mind is.
:19:09
Why, give him gold enough
and marry him to a puppet,
:19:12
or an old trot with ne'er a tooth in her head,
:19:15
and though she have as many diseases
as two and fifty horses.
:19:19
Why, nothing comes amiss,
so money comes withal.
:19:27
Crowns have I in my purse, and goods at home,
:19:31
And so am come abroad to see the world.
:19:36
To find a fortune and to woo...
:19:42
a wife.
:19:44
And when I came at last to wife
:19:48
With a heigh-ho
:19:50
The wind and the rain
:19:52
By swaggering could I never thrive
:19:58
For the rain it raineth every day
