My best beloved and approved friend,

Hortensio; and I trow this is [his] house.

Here, sirrah Grumio; knock, I say.

Gru. [Knock,] [sir!] whom should I knock? is there any

man [has] [rebused] your worship?

Pet. Villain, I say, knock me here soundly.

Gru. Knock you here, sir! why, sir, what am I, sir,

that I should knock you here, sir?

Pet. Villain, I say, knock me at this gate

And rap me well, or I'll knock your knave's pate.
