HORTENSIO. Why, no; for she hath broke the lute to me.			Hortensio. Why not; Because she broke the sounds to me.
I did but tell her she mistook her frets,			But I told her that she confused her frets.
And bow'd her hand to teach her fingering,			And bowed her hand to teach her fingers,
When, with a most impatient devilish spirit,			If, with a very impatient devilish spirit,
Frets, call you these?' quoth she 'I'll fume with them.'			Bünde, call this? 'Quoth they' I'll roughen with them. '

I'll attend her here,	For thee a mass shall still be said,		I'll visit you here
And woo her with some spirit when she comes.	Every sister drop a bead;		And rewind them with some ghost when you come.
Say that she rail; why, then I'll tell her plain	And those again succeeding them		Say that she is making; Why, then I'll just tell her
She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.	For you shall sing a Requiem.		She sings as cute as a nightingale.
Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear			Say that she frowns; I'll say she looks so clear
As morning roses newly wash'd with dew.			Newly washed with dew as dawn.

If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks,			If she offers me a pack, I'll thank you
As though she bid me stay by her a week;			As if she stayed with her for a week;
If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day			If you deny yourself, I will long for the day
When I shall ask the banns, and when be married.			If I will ask the spells and if I am married.
But here she comes; and now, Petruchio, speak.			But here she comes; And now, Petruchio, they speak.
