In Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew," Biondello is a servant of Lucentio. In Act III, Scene 1, Biondello informs Lucentio that he has arranged everything for him to elope with Bianca. Biondello tells Lucentio that he has found a priest who will marry them, and that he has also arranged for a horse and a cart to take them away. This is part of Lucentio's plan to win Bianca's love and marry her, despite her father's wishes.
