The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 3 of 9]
Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Pet._ Do, good old grandsire; and withal make known
Which way thou travellest: if along with us, 50
We shall be joyful of thy company.
_Vin._ Fair sir, and you my merry mistress,
That with your strange encounter much amazed me,
My name is call'd Vincentio; my dwelling Pisa;
And bound I am to Padua; there to visit 55
A son of mine, which long I have not seen.
_Pet._ What is his name?
_Vin._ Lucentio, gentle sir.
_Pet._ Happily met; the happier for thy son.
And now by law, as well as reverend age,
I may entitle thee my loving father: 60
The sister to my wife, this gentlewoman,
Thy son by this hath married. Wonder not,
Nor be not grieved: she is of good esteem,
Her dowry wealthy, and of worthy birth;
Beside, so qualified as may beseem 65
The spouse of any noble gentleman.
Let me embrace with old Vincentio,
And wander we to see thy honest son,
Who will of thy arrival be full joyous.
_Vin._ But is this true? or is it else your pleasure, 70
Like pleasant travellers, to break a jest
Upon the company you overtake?
_Hor._ I do assure thee, father, so it is.
_Pet._ Come, go along, and see the truth hereof;
For our first merriment hath made thee jealous. 75
[_Exeunt all but Hortensio._
_Hor._ Well, Petruchio, this has put me in heart.
Have to my widow! and if she be froward,
Then hast thou taught Hortensio to be untoward. [_Exit._
