SCENE II. _Padua._ LUCENTIO'S _house._ _Enter_ BAPTISTA, VINCENTIO, GREMIO, _the_ Pedant, LUCENTIO, BIANCA, PETRUCHIO, KATHARINA, HORTENSIO, _and_ Widow, TRANIO, BIONDELLO, _and_ GRUMIO: _the Serving-men with Tranio bringing in a banquet._ _Luc_. At last, though long, our jarring notes agree: And time it is, when raging war is done, To smile at scapes and perils overblown. My fair Bianca, bid my father welcome, While I with self-same kindness welcome thine. 5 Brother Petruchio, sister Katharina, And thou, Hortensio, with thy loving widow, Feast with the best, and welcome to my house: My banquet is to close our stomachs up, After our great good cheer. Pray you, sit down; 10 For now we sit to chat, as well as eat. _Pet._ Nothing but sit and sit, and eat and eat! _Bap._ Padua affords this kindness, son Petruchio. _Pet._ Padua affords nothing but what is kind. _Hor._ For both our sakes, I would that word were true. 15 _Pet._ Now, for my life, Hortensio fears his widow. _Wid._ Then never trust me, if I be afeard. _Pet._ You are very sensible, and yet you miss my sense: I mean, Hortensio is afeard of you. _Wid._ He that is giddy thinks the world turns round. 20 _Pet._ Roundly replied. _Kath._ Mistress, how mean you that? _Wid._ Thus I conceive by him. _Pet._ Conceives by me! How likes Hortensio that? _Hor._ My widow says, thus she conceives her tale. _Pet._ Very well mended. Kiss him for that, good widow. 25 _Kath._ 'He that is giddy thinks the world turns round:' I pray you, tell me what you meant by that. _Wid._ Your husband, being troubled with a shrew, Measures my husband's sorrow by his woe: And now you know my meaning. 30 _Kath._ A very mean meaning. _Wid._ Right, I mean you. _Kath._ And I am mean, indeed, respecting you. _Pet._ To her, Kate! _Hor._ To her, widow! _Pet._ A hundred marks, my Kate does put her down. 35 _Hor._ That's my office. _Pet._ Spoke like an officer: ha' to thee, lad. [_Drinks to Hortensio._ _Bap._ How likes Gremio these quick-witted folks? _Gre._ Believe me, sir, they butt together well. _Bian._ Head, and butt! an hasty-witted body 40 Would say your head and butt were head and horn.
