Scæna prima.

Enter Duke, Petruchio below, and Vechio above.
Duke.
It should be here abouts.

Petr.
Your grace is right,
This is the house I know it.

Voch.
Grace?

Duke.
'Tis further
By the description we received.

Petr.
Good my Lord the Duke,
Believe me, for I know it certainly,
This is the very house.

Vech.
My Lord the Duke?

Duk.
Pray heaven this man Prove right now.

Petr.
Beleeve it, hee's a most sufficient Scholler,
And can doe rare tricks this way; for a figure,
Or raising an appearance, whole Christendome
Has not a better; I have heard strange wonders of him.

Duke.
But can he shew us where she is?

Petr.
Most certaine,
And for what cause too she departed.

Du.
Knock then,
For I am great with expectation,
Till this man satisfie me: I feare the Spaniards,
Yet they appeare brave fellowes: can he tell us?

Petr.
With a wet finger, whether they be false.

Duke.
Away then.

Petr.
Who's within here?

Enter Vechio.
Vech.
Your Grace may enter.

Du.
How can he know me?

Petr.
He knowes all.

Vech.
And you sir.

Exeunt.
