I sir, they be ready, the Oats have eaten the horses. Nay then, Do what thou canst, I will not go to day, No, nor to morrow, not till I please myself, The door is open sir, there lies your way, You may be jogging whiles your boots are green: For me, I'll not be gone till I please myself, 'Tis like you'll prove a jolly surly groom, That take it on you at the first so roundly. O Kate content thee, prithee be not angry. I will be angry, what hast thou to do? Father, be quiet, he shall stay my leisure. I marry sir, now it begins to work. Gentlemen, forward to the bridal dinner, I see a woman may be made a fool If she had not a spirit to resist. They shall go forward Kate at thy command, Obey the Bride you that attend on her. Go to the feast, revel and domineer, Carouse full measure to her maidenhead, Be mad and merry, or go hang yourselves: But for my bonny Kate, she must with me: Nay, look not big, nor stamp, nor stare, nor fret, I will be master of what is mine own, She is my goods, my chattels, she is my house, My householdstuff, my field, my barn, My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing, And here she stands, touch her who ever dare, I'll bring mine action on the proudest he That stops my way in Padua: Grumio Draw forth thy weapon, we are beset with thieves, Rescue thy Mistress if thou be a man: Fear not sweet wench, they shall not touch thee Kate, I'll buckler thee against a Million. Nay, let them go, a couple of quiet ones. Went they not quickly, I should die with laughing. Of all mad matches never was the like. Mistress, what is your opinion of your sister? That being mad herself, she's madly mated. I warrant him Petruchio is Kated. Neighbours and friends, though Bride & Bridegroom wants For to supply the places at the table, You know there wants no junkets at the feast: Lucentio, you shall supply the Bridegroom's place, And let Bianca take her sister's room. Shall sweet Bianca practise how to bride it? She shall Lucentio: come gentlemen let's go. Fie, fie on all tired jades, on all mad Masters, & all foul ways: was ever man so beaten? was ever man so rayed? was ever man so weary? I am sent before to make a fire, and they are coming after to warm them: now were not I a little pot, & soon hot; my very lips might freeze to my teeth, my tongue to the roof of my mouth, my heart in my belly, ere I should come by a fire to thaw me, but I with blowing the fire shall warm myself: for considering the weather, a taller man than I will take cold: Holla, hoa Curtis. Who is that calls so coldly?
