Description

Episode in Taming of the shrew Act II scene 1: Bianca has her hands tied at the wrist by Katharina, and says: "Good sister, wrong me not, nor wrong yourself, / To make a bondmaid and a slave of me. / That I disdain. But for these other gauds, / Unbind my hands, I ll pull them off myself, / Yea, all my raiment, to my petticoat, / Or what you will command me will I do, / So well I know my duty to my elders"
