[ BIONDELLO, TRANIO, and PEDANT, run out.]
BIANCA. [ Kneeling.] Pardon, dear father. BAPTISTA. How hast thou offended? Where is Lucentio?
LUCENTIO. Here ' s Lucentio, Right son to the right Vincentio; That have by marriage made thy daughter mine, While counterfeit supposes blear ' d thine eyne.
GREMIO. Here ' s packing, with a witness, to deceive us all!
VINCENTIO. Where is that damned villain, Tranio, That fac ' d and brav ' d me in this matter so?
BAPTISTA. Why, tell me, is not this my Cambio? BIANCA. Cambio is chang ' d into Lucentio.
LUCENTIO. Love wrought these miracles. Bianca ' s love Made me exchange my state with Tranio, While he did bear my countenance in the town; And happily I have arriv ' d at the last Unto the wished haven of my bliss. What Tranio did, myself enforc ' d him to; Then pardon him, sweet father, for my sake.
VINCENTIO. I ' ll slit the villain ' s nose that would have sent me to the gaol.
BAPTISTA. [ To LUCENTIO.] But do you hear, sir? Have you married my daughter without asking my good will?
VINCENTIO. Fear not, Baptista; we will content you, go to: but I will in, to be revenged for this villainy.
[ Exit.] BAPTISTA. And I to sound the depth of this knavery.
