P. 1431
GRUMIO
Knock, sir? Whom should I knock? Is there any man has rebused your
worship?
PET RUCHIO
Villain, I say, knock me here soundly.
GRUMIO
Knock you here, sir? Why, sir, what am I, sir, that I should knock you here,
sir? [10]
PET RUCHIO
Villain, I say, knock me at this gate,
And rap me well, or I’ll knock your knave’s pate.
GRUMIO
My master is grown quarrelsome. I should knock you first,
And then I know after who comes by the worst.
PET RUCHIO
Will it not be? [15]
Faith, sirrah, and you’ll not knock, I’ll ring it.
I’ll try how you can solfa and sing it.
He wrings him by the ears.
GRUMIO
Help, masters, help! My master is mad.
PET RUCHIO
Now knock when I bid you, sirrah villain.
Enter Hortensio.
HORT ENSIO
How now, what’s the matter? My old [20] friend Grumio, and my good
friend Petruchio? How do you all at Verona?
PET RUCHIO
Signor Hortensio, come you to part the fray?
Con tutto il cuore ben trovato, may I say.
