Baptista

Gentlemen, content ye; I am resolved.    
Go in, Bianca.
[Exit Bianca]
And for I know she taketh most delight    
In music, instruments, and poetry,
Schoolmasters will I keep within my house,
Fit to instruct her youth. If you, Hortensio
Or Signor Gremio, you know any such,
Prefer them hither; for to cunning men    
I will be very kind, and liberal    
To mine own children in good bringing-up.    
And so farewell. — Katherina, you may stay,
For I have more to commune with Bianca.    
[Exit Baptista]

Katherina

Why, and I trust I may go too, may I not? What,    
shall I be appointed hours, as though belike I knew not     
what to take and what to leave? Ha!
