You are come to me in Happy Time

— Lord, The Taming Of The Shrew: Induction 1, 

Hello, friends.  This is Elica Miwa, a theatre director/actor in Japan.  Today’s Shakespeare For You is of the Lord in Induction 1 of The Taming Of The Shrew.

[Hakken Time!]

When I was in Canada, as an exchange student from my university to University of Victoria in British Columbia, some friends brought me to a pub, and there was a sign board at the door, saying “Happy Hour 1700~1800”.  It was the time when you can have a drink at discounted price.  Of course you must be happy for that.

“some sport in hand”:  sport does not mean physical activity, but some fun to do and watch at the same time.

So the Lord is saying:

Wow, you have just come to me at the right time for some happy fun event I am planning here in my hand.

There is another HAKKEN: 

the words Lord uses are quite open and wide, such as “Well, are, come, happy, time, rather, sports, hand”.  Which shows his excitement is open and bright and welcoming.

How interesting Shakespeare is!
