THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.
INDUCTION.
SCENE I. _Before an alehouse on a heath_.
_Enter_ HOSTESS _and_ SLY.
_Sly._ I'll pheeze you, in faith.
_Host._ A pair of stocks, you rogue!
_Sly._ Y'are a baggage: the Slys are no rogues; look in
the chronicles; we came in with Richard Conqueror. Therefore
paucas pallabris; let the world slide: sessa! 5
_Host._ You will not pay for the glasses you have burst?
_Sly._ No, not a denier. Go by, Jeronimy: go to thy
cold bed, and warm thee.
_Host._ I know my remedy; I must go fetch the thirdborough.
[_Exit._ 10
_Sly._ Third, or fourth, or fifth borough, I'll answer him
by law: I'll not budge an inch, boy: let him come, and
kindly. [_Falls asleep._
_Horns winded_. _Enter a_ Lord _from hunting_, _with his train_.
_Lord._ Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds:
Brach Merriman, the poor cur is emboss'd; 15
And couple Clowder with the deep-mouth'd brach.
Saw'st thou not, boy, how Silver made it good
At the hedge-corner, in the coldest fault?
I would not lose the dog for twenty pound.
