Vin. [Seeing Biondello.] Come hither, crack-hemp.

Bion. I hope I may choose, sir.

Vin. Come hither, you rogue. What, have you forgot me?

Bion. Forgot you? no, sir. I could not forget you, for I never saw you before in all my life.

Vin. What, you notorious villain, didst thou never see thy [master’s] father, Vincentio?

Bion. What, my old worshipful old master? Yes, marry, sir—see where he looks out of the window.

Vin. Is’t so indeed?

He beats Biondello.

Bion. Help, help, help! here’s a madman will murder me.

[Exit.]

Ped. Help, son! help, Signior Baptista!

[Exit above.]

Pet. Prithee, Kate, let’s stand aside and see the end of this controversy.

[They retire.]

Enter Pedant [below] with Servants, Baptista, Tranio [as Lucentio].

Tra. Sir, what are you that offer to beat my servant?

Vin. What am I, sir? Nay, what are you, sir? O immortal gods! O fine villain! A silken doublet, a velvet hose, a scarlet cloak, and a copatain hat! O, I am undone, I am undone! While I play the good husband at home, my son and my servant spend all at the university.
