- l1l Biondello Cambio.
- l2l Lucentio What sayst thou, Biondello?
- l3l Biondello You saw my master wink and laugh upon
- l4l you?
- l5l Lucentio Biondello, what of that?
- l6l Biondello Faith, nothing, but heÆs left me here behind to
- l7l expound the meaning or moral of his signs and tokens.
- l8l Lucentio I pray thee, moralize them.
- l9l Biondello Then thus: Baptista is safe, talking with the
- l10l deceiving father of a deceitful son.
- l11l Lucentio And what of him?
- l12l Biondello His daughter is to be brought by you to the
- l13l supper.
- l14l Lucentio And then?
- l15l Biondello The old priest at Saint LukeÆs church is at your
- l16l command at all hours.
- l17l Lucentio And what of all this?
- l18l Biondello I cannot tell, except they are busied about a
- l19l counterfeit assurance. Take you assurance of her cum
- l20l privilegio ad imprimendum solumùto thÆ church take the
- l21l priest, clerk, and some sufficient honest witnesses.
- l22l If this be not that you look for, I have no more to say,
- l23l But bid Bianca farewell for ever and a day.
- l24l Lucentio HearÆst thou, Biondello?
- l25l Biondello I cannot tarry, I knew a wench married in an
- l26l afternoon as she went to the garden for parsley to stuff
- l27l a rabbit, and so may you, sir, and so adieu, sir. My
- l28l master hath appointed me to go to Saint LukeÆs to bid
- l29l the priest be ready tÆ attend against you come with your
- l30l appendix.
- (Exit)
- l31l Lucentio I may and will, if she be so contented.
- l32l She will be pleased, then wherefore should I doubt?
- l33l Hap what hap may, IÆll roundly go about her.
- l34l It shall go hard if Cambio go without her.
- (Exit)
