BAPTISTA . I ' ll after him and see the event of this .
[ Exeunt BAPTISTA , GREMIO and ATTENDENTS .]
TRANIO .

So shall you quietly enjoy your hope , And marry sweet Bianca with consent .
LUCENTIO . Were it not that my fellow schoolmaster Doth watch Bianca ' s steps so narrowly , ' Twere good , methinks , to steal our marriage ; Which once perform ' d , let all the world say no , I ' ll keep mine own despite of all the world .
TRANIO . That by degrees we mean to look into , And watch our vantage in this business . We ' ll over-reach the greybeard , Gremio , The narrow-prying father , Minola , The quaint musician , amorous Licio ; All for my master ' s sake , Lucentio .
[ Re-enter GREMIO .] Signior Gremio , came you from the church ? GREMIO . As willingly as e ' er I came from school . TRANIO . And is the bride and bridegroom coming home ?
GREMIO . A bridegroom , say you ? ' Tis a groom indeed , A grumbling groom , and that the girl shall find .
TRANIO . Curster than she ? Why , ' tis impossible . GREMIO . Why , he ' s a devil , a devil , a very fiend .
