I dare assure you, sir, ’tis almost two, [185]
And ’twill be supper-time ere you come there.

PET RUCHIO

It shall be seven ere I go to horse.
Look what I speak, or do, or think to do,
You are still crossing it. Sirs, let ’t alone,
I will not go today, and ere I do, [190]
It shall be what o’clock I say it is.

HORT ENSIO

Why, so this gallant will command the sun.

[Exeunt.]

Scene IV IT

T RANIO

PEDANT

Where we were lodgers at the Pegasus. [5]

With such austerity as ’longeth to a father.

PEDANT

T RANIO
