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
