[Enter KATHERINA and GRUMIO]
GRUMIO
,
, , ,
,
No, no | forsooth | I dare | not for | my life.
KATHERINE
, ,
, ,
,
The more | my wrong,| the more | his spite | appears.
,
, , ,
,
What, did | he mar|ry me | to fam|ish me?
,
, , ,
,
Beggars | that come | unto | my fath|er's door,
,
, ,
, ,
Upon | entrea|ty have | a pres|ent alms,
, ,
, , ,
If not,| elsewhere | they meet | with char|ity:
, , ,
, ,
But I,| who nev|er knew | how to | entreat,
, ,
, ,
,
Nor nev|er need|ed that | I should | entreat,
, ,
, ,
,
Am starved | for meat,| giddy | for lack | of
sleep:
, ,
, , ,
With oath | kept wak|ing, and | with brawl|ing
fed,
, ,
, , ,
And that | which spites | me more | than all |
these wants,
, ,
, , ,
He does | it und|er name | of per|fect love:
, , ,
, ,
As who | should say,| if I | should sleep | or
eat
, ,
, , ,
'Twere dead|ly sick|ness, or / else pres|ent
death:
, ,
, , ,
I prith|ee go,| and get | me some | repast,
, ,
, , ,
I care | not what,| so it | be whole|some food.
GRUMIO

What say you | to a | neat's | foot?
KATHERINE
, ,
, , x
'Tis pas|sing good,| I prith|ee let | me have it.
GRUMIO
, , , , ,
I fear | it is | too chol|eric | a meat.
, , 2
T T T
,
How say | you to a | fat tripe fine|ly broiled?
KATHERINE
, ,
, 2 ,
,
I like | it well,| good Grum|io fetch | it me.
GRUMIO
,
, , ,
,
I can|not tell,| I fear | 'tis chol|eric.
, , 2 ,
, ,
What say | you to a | piece of | beef and |
mustard?
KATHERINE
, ,
, ,
,
A dish | that I | do love | to feed | upon.
GRUMIO
, 2 ,
, , ,
Aye, but the | mustard | is too | hot a | little.
KATHERINE
,
, , , ,
Why then | the beef,| and let | the must|ard
rest.
GRUMIO
,
, , 2
, ,
Nay then | I will | not, you shall | have the |
mustard,
, ,
, , ,
Or else | you get | no beef | of Grum|io.
KATHERINE
, ,
, , ,
Then both | or one,| or an|ything | thou wilt.
GRUMIO
, ,
o , ,
Why then | the mus|tard | without | the beef.
KATHERINE
, ,
, , ,
Go get | thee gone,| thou false | delud|ing
slave,
, ,
, , ,
That feedst | me with | the ve|ry name | of meat.
,
, ,
, ,
Sorrow | on thee,| and all | the pack | of you,
, ,
, , ,
That tri|umph thus | upon | my mis|ery:
, ,
,
Go get | thee gone,| I say. \\
[Enter PETRUCHIO and HORTENSIO with meat]
PETRUCHIO

, , ,
How fares | my Kate,| What sweet|ing all | amort?
HORTENSIO

Mistress,| what cheer?
KATHERINE

Faith as | cold as | can be.
PETRUCHIO

Pluck up thy | spirits, look | cheerful|ly u|pon
me.
, ,
, , ,
Here love,| thou seest | how dil|igent | I am,
, ,
, ,
,
To dress | thy meat | myself,| and bring | it
thee.
2 , , ,
, ,
I am sure | sweet* Kate,| this kind|ness mer|its
thanks.
,
, ,
, ,
What, not | a word?| Nay then,| thou lovst | it
not:
, ,
, , ,
And all | my pains | is sort|ed to / no proof.
, ,
,
Here take | away | this dish.
KATHERINE
,
3 3 ,
I pray | you let it stand.
PETRUCHIO
, , , ,
,
The poor|est serv|ice is | repaid | with thanks,
, , ,
, ,
And so | shall mine,| before | you touch | the
meat.
KATHERINE
,
,
\\ I thank
| you, sir.
HORTENSIO

Signior | Petruch|io, fie | you are | to
blame:

Will we | return | unto | thy fath|er's house,
, , , ,
,
And rev|el it | as brave|ly as | the best,
, , ,
, ,
With silk|en coats | and caps,| and gold|en
rings,
, ,
, , ,
With ruffs | and cuffs,| and fard|ingales,| and
things:
, ,
, , , ,
With scarfs,| and fans,| and doub|le change | of
brav|ery,
, , , , , ,
With amb|er brace|lets, beads,| and all | this
knav|ery. (hex with prev)
,
, , , ,
o
What hast | thou dined?| The tail|or stays | thy
leis|ure,
, , ,

o
To deck | thy bo|dy with | his ruf|fling
treas|ure. (hex with prev)
, ,

Come tail/or, let | us see | these orn|aments.
T T . T ,
, o
Lay forth the gown.| What news | with you | sir?
HABERDASHER
,
, , , ,
Here is | the cap | your worsh|ip did | bespeak.
PETRUCHIO
, , , , ,
Why this | was mold|ed on | a por|ringer,
, , T T
. T , ->
A vel|vet dish:| fie, fie, 'tis^lewd | and
filth||y,
,
2 , , , ,
Why | 'tis a cock|le or | a wal|nut-shell,
, , ,
, ,
A knack,| a toy,| a trick,| a ba|by's cap:
, 2 ,
, , ,
Away | with it, come | let me | have a | bigger.
KATHERINE
, ,
, ,
,
I'll have | no big|ger, this | doth fit | the
time,
, , , ,
,
And gent|lewom|en wear | such caps | as these.
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
, ,
When you | are gent|le, you | shall have | one
too,
, ,
And not | till then.
HORTENSIO
, , ,
That will | not be | in haste.
KATHERINE
, , ,
, ,
Why sir | I trust | I may | have leave | to
speak,
, ,
, , ,
And speak | I will.| I am | no child,| no babe,
, , ,
, ,
Your bet|ters have | endured | me say | my mind,
, , ,
, ,
And if | you can/not, best | you stop | your
ears.
, ,
, , ,
My tongue | will tell | the ang|er of | my heart,
, ,
, , ,
Or else | my heart | conceal|ing it | will break,
, ,
, , ,
And rath|er than | it shall,| I will | be free,
x
, , 2 , ,
Even to | the ut|termost | as I please | in
words.
PETRUCHIO
, T T
T 2 , ,
Why thou | sayst true, it | is a pal|try cap,
, , 2
x , ,
A cust|ard-cof|fin, a bauble,| a silk|en pie,
, ,
, , ,
I love | thee well | in that | thou likst | it
not.
KATHERINE
,
, , , ,
Love me | or love | me not,| I like | the cap,
, , ,
, ,
And it | I will | have, or | I will | have none.
[Exit Haberdasher]
PETRUCHIO
, , , ,
x
Thy gown,| why aye:| come tail/or let | us see
it.
, ,
, ,
,
Oh mer|cy God,| what mask|ing stuff | is here?
,
, , ,
,
What's this?| A sleeve?| 'Tis like |
demi-|cannon,
T T . T
T T . T ,
What, up and down | carved like an ap|ple
tart?
,
, , ,
,
Here's snip,| and nip,| and cut,| and slish | and
slash,
, , ,
, ,
Like to | a cen|ser in | a bar|ber's shop:
, 2
Tx T T , ,
Why what a | devil's name tail|or callst | thou this?
HORTENSIO
, ,
, 2 ,
,
I see | she's like | to have | *neither cap | nor
gown.
TAILOR
,
, , , ,
You bid | me make | it ord|erly | and well,
, ,
, , ,
Accord|ing to | the fash|ion, and | the time.
PETRUCHIO
, 2 ,
, , ,
Marry and | did: but | if you | be re|membered,
, ,
, , ,
I did | not bid | you mar | it to | the time.
, , , ,
,
Go hop | me ov|er eve|ry ken|nel home,
, ,
, , ,
For you | shall hop | without | my cust|om sir:
,
, , ,
,
I'll none | of it;/ hence, make | your best | of
it.
KATHERINE
, , , ,
,
I nev|er saw | a bet|ter-fash|ioned gown,
, ,
, , ,
2
More quaint,| more pleas|ing, nor | more com|mendable:
, ,
, , 2 ,
Belike | you mean | to make | a pup|pet of me.
PETRUCHIO
, ,
, , 2
,
Why true,| he means | to make | a pup|pet of
thee.
TAILOR
She says your worship means to make a puppet of her.
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
O monst|rous ar|rogance:
,
, x
Thou liest,| thou thread,| thou thimble,
(tri with prev)
, , ,
, ,
Thou yard | three* quart|ers, half-|yard,
quart|er, nail,
, , ,
, ,
Thou flea,| thou nit,| thou wint|er-crick|et thou:
,
, ,
, ,
Braved in | mine^own | house with | a skein | of
thread:
,
, , 2 ,
,
Away | thou rag,| thou quant|ity, thou |
remnant,
, , , , ,
Or I | shall so | be-mete | thee with | thy yard,
, ,
, , ,
As thou | shalt think | on prat|ing whilst | thou
livst:
, ,
, , ,
I tell | thee aye,| that thou | hast marred | her gown.
TAILOR
, , ,
, ,
Your worsh|ip is | deceived,| the gown | is made
,
, , ,
,
Just as | my mast|er had | direc|tion:
, 2 , ,
, ,
Grumio | gave^ord|er how | it should | be
done.
GRUMIO
, ,
, , 2
,
I gave | him no | order,| I gave | him the stuff.
TAILOR
, ,
, ,
,
But how | did you | desire | it should | be made?
GRUMIO
, ,
, , oo
Marry | sir with | needle | and thread.|
TAILOR
, ,
, , ,
But did | you not | request | to have | it cut?
GRUMIO
,
, , ,
Thou hast | faced | many | things.
TAILOR
__
I have.
GRUMIO
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.
TAILOR
, 2
, 2 ,
2 , ,
Why here | is the note | of the fash|ion to
tes|tify.
PETRUCHIO
,
Read it.
GRUMIO
, ,
2 ,
, ,
2->
The note | lies in his | throat if
| he say || I said | so.
TAILOR
, , ,
,
Impri|mis, a / loose-bod|ied gown.
GRUMIO
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.
PETRUCHIO
Proceed.
TAILOR
, , ,
With a / small comp|assed cape.
GRUMIO
2
, ,
I confess | the cape.
TAILOR
, ,
With a / trunk sleeve.
GRUMIO
,
, ___
I con/fess two | sleeves.
TAILOR
, ,
2 ,
The sleeves | curiously | cut.
PETRUCHIO
, , 2
Aye | there's the | villainy.
GRUMIO
Error in the bill sir, error in 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.
TAILOR
This is true that I say, and I had thee in place where thou shouldst know
it.
GRUMIO
I am for thee straight: take thou the bill, give me thy mete-yard, and spare
not me.
HORTENSIO
God-a-mercy Grumio, then he shall have no odds.
PETRUCHIO
,
, , ,
,
Well sir | in brief | the gown | is not | for me.
GRUMIO
, 2 , ,
, ,
You are | in the right | sir, 'tis | for my |
mistress.
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
, ,
Go take | it up | unto | thy mast|er's use.
GRUMIO
Villain, not for thy life: take up my mistress' gown for thy master's use.
PETRUCHIO
, ,
, ,
Why sir,| what's your | conceit | in that?
GRUMIO
<- , 2 ,
, , ,
o
Oh sir,|| the conceit | is deep|er
than | you think | for,
, , ,
2 , ,
Take^up | my mist|ress' gown | to his mast|er's
use.
, ___ ___ oo
Oh fie,| fie,| fie.|
PETRUCHIO
<- , 2 ,
, , ,
__
Horten||sio, say | thou wilt | see the |
tailor | paid:
, ,
, ,
,
Go take | it hence,| be gone,| and say | no more.
HORTENSIO
, , ,
2 , ,
Tailor,| I'll pay | thee for thy | gown
to|morrow,
,
, , , ,
Take no | unkind|ness of | his has|ty words:
, ,
, , 2 ,
Away | I say,| commend | me to thy | master.
[Exit TAILOR]
PETRUCHIO
,
, , , 2
,
Well, come | my Kate;| we will | unto your | father's,
, ,
, , ,
2
Even | in these | honest | mean ha|biliments:
, , ,
, ,
Our purs|es shall | be proud,| our gar|ments
poor:
, ,
, , ,
For 'tis | the mind | that makes | the bo|dy
rich.
, . T T T
, ,
And as | the sun breaks through | the dark|est
clouds,
, , ,
, x
So hon|or peer|eth in | the mean|est habit.
, , ,
, ,
What is | the jay | more pre|cious than | the
lark?
, , ,
, ,
Because | his feath|ers are / more beaut|iful.
, , , ,
,
Or is | the ad|der bet|ter than | the eel,
, , ,
, ,
Because | his paint|ed skin | contents | the eye.
, ,
, ,
,
Oh no | good^Kate:| neither | art thou | the worse
, ,
, , ,
For this / poor furn|iture,| and mean | array.
, , , ,
,
If thou | accountst | it shame,| lay it | on me,
, ,
, , ,
And there|fore frol|ic, we | will hence |
forthwith,
, ,
, , ,
To feast | and sport | us at | thy fath|er's
house,
, ,
, , ,
Go call | my men,| and let | us straight | to
him,
, , x T
T T
And bring | our hors|es unto | Long-lane end,
,
, , , ,
There will | we mount,| and thith|er walk | on
foot,
, ,
,
x ,
Let's see,| I think | 'tis now | some seven
| o'clock,
, , ,
, ,
And well | we may / come there | by din|nertime.
KATHERINE
, , ,
, ,
I dare | assure | you sir,| 'tis al|most two,
,
, , , ,
And 'twill | be sup|pertime | ere you / come
there.
PETRUCHIO
, , ,
, ,
It shall | be sev|en ere | I go | to horse:
, ,
, , ,
Look what | I speak,| or do,| or think | to do,
2 , ,
, ,
,
You are still | crossing | it, sirs | let it |
alone:
, ,
, , ,
I will | not go | today;| and ere | I do,
, ,
, , ,
It shall | be what | o'clock | I say | it is.
HORTENSIO
, ,
, , ,
Why so | this gal|lant will | command | the sun.
