Here is a wonder, if you talk of a wonder

Lucentio
Here is a wonder, if you talk of a wonder.
Hortensio
And so it is. I wonder what it bodes.
Petruchio
Marry, peace it bodes, and love, and quiet life,
An awful rule, and right supremacy,
And, to be short, what not that’s sweet and happy.
Baptista
Now fair befall thee, good Petruchio!
The wager thou hast won, and I will add
Unto their losses twenty thousand crowns,
Another dowry to another daughter,
For she is changed as she had never been.
Petruchio
Nay, I will win my wager better yet,
And show more sign of her obedience,
Her new-built virtue and obedience.
