I, and that thou and the proudest of you all shall find when he comes home. But what talk I of this? Call forth Nathaniel, Ioseph, Nicholas, Philip, Walter, Sugersop and the rest: let their heads be slickely combed, their blue coats brushed, and their garters of an indifferent knit, let them curtsy with their left legs, and not presume to touch a hair of my Master's horse-tail, till they kiss their hands. Are they all ready? They are. Call them forth. Do you hear ho? you must meet my master to countenance my mistress. Why she hath a face of her own. Who knows not that? Thou it seems, that calls for company to countenance her. I call them forth to credit her. Why she comes to borrow nothing of them. Welcome home Grumio. How now Grumio. What Grumio. Fellow Grumio. How now old lad. Welcome you: how now you: what you: fellow you: and thus much for greeting. Now my spruce companions, is all ready, and all things neat? All things is ready, how near is our master? E'en at hand, alighted by this: and therefore be not— Cock's passion, silence, I hear my master. Where be these knaves? What no man at door To hold my stirrup, nor to take my horse? Where is Nathaniel, Gregory, Philip. here, here sir, here sir. here sir, here sir, here sir, here sir. You loggerheaded and unpolished grooms: What? no attendance? no regard? no duty? Where is the foolish knave I sent before? here sir, as foolish as I was before. You peasant, swain, you whoreson malt-horse drudge Did I not bid thee meet me in the Park, And bring along these rascal knaves with thee? Nathaniels coat sir was not fully made, And Gabrels pumps were all unpinkt i' th' heel: There was no Link to colour Peter's hat, And Welter's dagger was not come from sheathing: There were none fine, but Adam, Ralph, and Gregory, The rest were ragged, old, and beggarly, Yet as they are, here are they come to meet you. Go rascals, go, and fetch my supper in. Where is the life that late I led? Where are those? Sat down Kate, And welcome. Soud, soud, soud, soud. Why when I say? Nay good sweet Kate be merry. Off with my boots, you rogues: you villains, when? It was the Friar of Orders grey, As he forth walked on his way. Out you rogue, you pluck my foot awry, Take that, and mend the plucking of the other. Be merry Kate: Some water here: what hoa. Where's my Spaniel Troilus? Sirrah, get you hence, And bid my cousin Ferdinand come hither: One Kate that you must kiss, and be acquainted with. Where are my Slippers? Shall I have some water? Come Kate and wash, & welcome hearty: you whoreson villain, will you let it fall? Patience I pray you, 'twas a fault unwilling. A whoreson beetleheaded flap-eared knave: Come Kate sit down, I know you have a stomach, Will you give thankes, sweet Kate, or else shall I? What's this, Mutton?
