'Tis passing fair.
1:24:23
Nay, nay.
1:24:34
Master. Master!
1:24:37
Master, I have watch'd so long
That I am dog-weary,

1:24:39
But at last I spied
A man most suitable to play your father.

1:24:43
An ancient angel coming down the hill.
1:24:48
Whom Tranio doth follow and approach.
1:24:54
- God save you, sir.
- And you, sir. You are welcome.

1:24:57
- What countryman, I pray?
- Of Mantua, sir.

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,
