ACT II IT

                                 Scene I IT

                              Enter Katherina and Bianca.

BIANCA

 Good sister, wrong me not, nor wrong yourself,
 To make a bondmaid and a slave of me.
 That I disdain. But for these other gawds,
 Unbind my hands, I’ll pull them off myself,
 Yea, all my raiment, to my petticoat, [5]
 Or what you will command me will I do,
 So well I know my duty to my elders.

KAT HERINA

 Of all thy suitors here I charge thee tell
 Whom thou lov’st best. See thou dissemble not.

BIANCA

 Believe me, sister, of all the men alive [10]
 I never yet beheld that special face
 Which I could fancy more than any other.

KAT HERINA

 Minion, thou liest. Is’t not Hortensio?

BIANCA

 If you affect him, sister, here I swear
 I’ll plead for you myself but you shall have him. [15]

KAT HERINA

 O then belike you fancy riches more.
 You will have Gremio to keep you fair.

BIANCA
