Go to my chamber, put on clothes of mine.

Pet.

Bap.

But thus, I trust, you will not marry her.

Pet.

Good sooth, even thus; therefore ha’ done with words;

To me she’s married, not unto my clothes.

Could I repair what she will wear in me,

As I can change these poor accoutrements,

’Twere well for Kate, and better for myself.

But what a fool am I to chat with you,

When I should bid good morrow to my bride,

And seal the title with a lovely kiss!

Exit [with Grumio].

Tra.

To put on better ere he go to church.

Exit [with Gremio and Attendants].

Tra.

But, sir, love concerneth us to add

Her father’s liking, which to bring to pass,

As before imparted to your worship,

I am to get a man—what e’er he be,

It skills not much, we’ll fit him to our turn—

And he shall be Vincentio of Pisa,

And make assurance here in Padua

Of greater sums than I have promised.
