heir to the lands of me, Signor Vincentio.

     VINCENT IO

Lucentio? O, he hath murdered his master! Lay hold on him, I charge you,
in the Duke’s name. O, [80] my son, my son! Tell me, thou villain, where is
my son Lucentio?

     T RANIO

Call forth an officer.
                                        [Enter an Officer.]

Carry this mad knave to the gaol. Father Baptista, I charge you see that he
be forthcoming. [85]

     VINCENT IO

Carry me to the gaol?

     GREMIO

Stay, officer. He shall not go to prison.

     BAPT IST A

Talk not, Signor Gremio. I say he shall go to prison.

     GREMIO

Take heed, Signor Baptista, lest you be [90] cony-catched in this business.
I dare swear this is the right Vincentio.

     PEDANT

Swear, if thou dar’st.

     GREMIO

Nay, I dare not swear it.

     T RANIO

Then thou wert best say that I am not Lucentio. [95]

     GREMIO

Yes, I know thee to be Signor Lucentio.
