Guided reading of The Taming of the Shrew
My Notes
Baptista: Was ever gentleman thus grieved as I?
But who comes here?
Enter GREMIO, with LUCENTIO in the habit of a mean man; PETRUCHIO, with HORTENSIO as a musician; and TRANIO, as LUCENTIO, with his boy, BIONDELLO, bearing a lute and books
Gremio: Good morrow, neighbor Baptista. Baptista: Good morrow, neighbor Gremio.
God save you, gentlemen.
Petruchio: And you, good sir. Pray, have you not a daughter Called Katherine, fair and virtuous?
Baptista: I have a daughter, sir, called Katherine. Gremio: [to Petruchio] You are too blunt; go to it orderly.
Petruchio: You wrong me, Signior Gremio; give me leave. I am a gentleman of Verona, sir,
That, hearing of her beauty and her wit,
Her affability and bashful modesty,
Her wondrous qualities and mild behavior,
Am bold to show myself a forward guest
Within your house, to make mine eye the witness Of that report which I so oft have heard . . .
