As I am often asked where the popular song " Should he upbraid ," set to music by Sir Henry Bishop , is to be found in Shakespeare, I may be pardoned for adding this note to say that it is not one of Shakespeare's songs. What Bishop did was to take the following lines from a speech of Petruchio in the first scene of Act II. of " The Taming of the Shrew ": " Say that she rail: why then I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale: Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew: Say she be mute, and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility." He played fast and loose with this passage, turning blank verse into rime and changing the sex of the speaker. The companion song " Bid me discourse " Bishop drew from " Venus and Adonis ":— "' Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear, Or, like a fairy, trip upon the green, Or, like a nymph, with long dishevell'd hair, Dance on the sands, and yet no footing seen.'"
