Another dowry to another daughter,
For she is chang’d, as she had never been. [115]
PET RUCHIO
Nay, I will win my wager better yet,
And show more sign of her obedience,
Her new-built virtue and obedience.
Enter Katherina, Bianca, and Widow.
See where she comes, and brings your froward wives
As prisoners to her womanly persuasion. [120]
Katherine, that cap of yours becomes you not.
Off with that bauble, throw it under foot.
[She obeys.]
WIDOW
Lord, let me never have a cause to sigh
Till I be brought to such a silly pass.
BIANCA
Fie, what a foolish duty call you this? [125]
LUCENT IO
I would your duty were as foolish too.
The wisdom of your duty, fair Bianca,
Hath cost me a hundred crowns since supper-time.
BIANCA
The more fool you for laying on my duty.
PET RUCHIO
Katherine, I charge thee, tell these headstrong women [130]
What duty they do owe their lords and husbands.
WIDOW
Come, come, you’re mocking. We will have no telling.
PET RUCHIO
Come on, I say, and first begin with her.
WIDOW
