Sorrow on thee, and all the pack of you, To; get thee gone, I say. Enter PETRUCHIO with a dish of meat, and HORTENSIO. Kath. 'Faith, as cold as can be. Pet. Pluck up thy spirits; look cheerfully upon me. Here, love; thou seest how diligent I am, To dress thy meat myself, and bring it thee: [Sets the dish on a table. I am sure, Here, take away this dish. Kath. I pray you, let it stand. Hor. Signior Petruchio, fie! you are to blame. Pet. [Aside.] Eat it up all, Hortensio, if thou lov'st me [To her.] Much good do it unto thy gentle heart! Will we return unto thy father's house, And revel it as bravely as the best, With silken coats, and caps, and golden rings, The tailor stays thy leisure, Enter Tailor. Come, tailor, let us see these ornaments; Enter Haberdasher. Lay forth the gown. What news with you, Sir? Hab. Here is the cap your worship did bespeak. A knack, a toy, a trick, a baby's cap; Kath. I'll have no bigger: this doth fit the time, Pet. When you are gentle, you shall have one too; And not till then. Hor. [Aside.] That will not be in haste. Kath. Why, Sir, I trust, I may have leave to speak, Your betters have endur'd me say my mind, Pet. Why, thou say'st true: it is a paltry cap, A custard-coffin, a bauble, a silken pie. I love thee well, in that thou lik'st it not. Kath. Love me, or love me not, I like the cap, And it I will have, or I will have none. Pet. Thy gown? why, ay: - come, tailor, let us see 't. O, mercy, God! what masking stuff is here? What's this? a sleeve? 't is like a demi-cannon: What! up and down, carv'd like an apple-tart? Like to a censer in a barber's shop.— Why, what, o'devil's name, tailor, call'st thou this? Hor. [Asids.] I see, she's like to have neither cap nor gown. According to the fashion, and the time. Pet. Marry, and did; but if you be remember'd, I did not bid you mar it to the time. Go, hop me over every kennel home, For you shall hop without my custom, Sir. Kath. I never saw a better-fashion'd gown, Pet. Why, true; he means to make a puppet of thee. Tai. She says, your worship means to make a puppet of her. Pet. 0, monstrous arrogance! Thou liest, thou thread, Thou thimble, Thou yard, three-quarters, half-yard, quarter, nail! Thou flea, thou nit, thou winter cricket thou! As thou shalt think on prating whilst thou liv'st. Tai. Your worship is deceiv'd: the gown is made Grumio gave order how it should be done. Gru. I gave him no order; I gave him the stuff. Tai. I have. Gru. Face not me: thou hast braved many men; brave not me: I will neither be faced nor braved. I say unto thee, I bid thy master cut out the gown; but I did not bid him cut it to pieces: ergo, thou liest. Tai. Why, here is the note of the fashion to testify. Pet. Read it. Gru. The note lies in 's throat, if he say I said so. Tai. "Imprimis, a loose-bodied gown." Gru. Master, if ever I said loose-bodied gown, sew me in the skirts of it, and beat me to death with a bottom of brown thread: I said, a gown. Pet. Proceed. Tai. “With a small compassed cape." Gru. I confess the cape. Tai. "With a trunk sleeve." Gru. I confess two sleeves. Tai. "The sleeves curiously cut." Pet. Ay, there's the villany. Gru. Error i' the bill, Sir; error i' the bill. I commanded the sleeves should be cut out, and sewed up again; and that I'll prove upon thee, though thy little finger be armed in a thimble. Tai. This is true, that I say: an I had thee in place where, thou should'st know it. Gru. I am for thee straight: take thou the bill, give me thy mete-yard, and spare not me. Hor. God-a-mercy, Grumio, then he shall have no odds. Pet. Well, Sir, in brief, the gown is not for me. Gru. You are i' the right, Sir: 't is for my mistress. Pet. Go, take it up unto thy master's use Gru. Villain, not for thy life! Take up my mistress' gown for thy master's use! Pet. Why, Sir, what's your conceit in that? Gru. O, Sir, the conceit is deeper than you think for. Take up my mistress' gown to his master's use! O, fie, fie, fie! Pet. [Aside.] Hortensio, say thou wilt see the tailor paid. — Go take it hence; be gone, and say no more. Hor. Tailor, I'll pay thee for thy gown to-morrow: Take no unkindness of his hasty words. Away, I say; commend me to thy master. [Exeunt Tailor and Haberdasher. Pet. Well, come, my Kate; we will unto your father's, Even in these honest mean habiliments. Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor: For 't is the mind that makes the body rich; And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, Or is the adder better than the eel, Because his painted skin contents the eye? Kath. I dare assure you, Sir, 't is almost two, It shall be what o'clock I say it is. Hor. Why, so this gallant will command the sun. [Exeunt. Enter TRANIO, and the Pedant dressed like VINCENTIO. Tra. Sir, this is the house: please it you, that I call? Signior Baptista may remember me, Near twenty years ago, in Genoa, Where we were lodgers at the Pegasus. Tra. 'Tis well; and hold your own, in any case, With such austerity as 'longeth to a father. Enter BIONDello. Ped. I warrant you. But, Sir, here comes your boy; 'T were good, he were school'd. Tra. Fear you not him. Sirrah, Biondello, |
