Act Introduction,

Scene 1

Lines 128-135

Lord performs lines 128-135 of Introduction 1 of myShakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

I know the boy will well usurp the grace,

Voice, gait, and action of a gentlewoman.

I long to hear him call the drunkard ‘husband,’

And how my men will stay themselves from laughter

When they do homage to this simple peasant.

I'll in to counsel them; haply my presence

May well abate the over-merry spleen

Which otherwise would grow into extremes.

[Exit]
