myShakespeare | Taming of the Shrew 2.1 Performance: Gremio, Tranio, and Baptista, Lines 329-342

But now, Baptista, to your younger daughter.

Now is the day we long have looked for;

I am your neighbor and was suitor first.

And I am one that love Bianca more

Than words can witness or your thoughts can guess.

Youngling, thou canst not love so dear as I.

Graybeard, thy love doth freeze.

But thine doth fry.

Skipper, stand back, 'tis age that nourisheth.

But youth in ladies' eyes that flourisheth.

Content you, gentlemen. I will compound this strife.

'Tis deeds must win the prize, and he of both

That can assure my daughter greatest dower

Shall have my Bianca's love.

Say, Signor Gremio, what can you assure her?
