[Scene II]. Padua. [Before Baptista's] house.
Enter Baptista, Gremio, Tranio, Katharina, Bianca, [Lucentio,] and others, [attendants.]
[Bap.] Signior Lucentio [to Tranio], this is the ['pointed] day.
That Katharine and Petruchio should be married,
And yet we hear not of our son-in-law.
What will be said? what mockery will it be,
To want the bridegroom when the priest attends
To speak the ceremonial rites of marriage!
