Pet.

Marry so I meane sweet Katherine in thy bed:

And therefore setting all this chat aside,

Thus in plaine termes: your father hath consented

That you shall be my wife; your dowry greed on,

And will you, nill you, I will marry you.

Now Kate, I am a husband for your turne,

For by this light, whereby I see thy beauty,

Thy beauty that doth make me like thee well

Thou must be married to no man but me,

Enter Baptista, Gremio, Trayno.

For I am he am borne to tame you Kate,

And bring you from a wilde Kate to a Kate

Conformable as other houshold Kates:

Heere comes your father, neuer make deniall,

I must, and will haue Katherine to my wife.
