Before any taming begins, a drunken tinker is hauled out of an alehouse and dressed in fine clothes, then told by a bored lord that he is a nobleman who dreamt fifteen years of being poor. The rest is entertainment laid on for him.

For I am he am born to tame you, Kate, / And bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate / Conformable as other household Kates.
The Taming of the Shrew, William Shakespeare
