What say you to a Neat's foot? 'Tis passing good, I prithee let me have it. I fear it is too choleric a meat. How say you to a fat Tripe finely broiled? I like it well, good Grumio fetch it me. I cannot tell, I fear 'tis choleric. What say you to a piece of Beef and Mustard? A dish that I do love to feed upon. I, but the Mustard is too hot a little. Why then the Beef, and let the Mustard rest. Nay then I will not, you shall have the Mustard Or else you get no beef of Grumio. Then both or one, or any thing thou wilt. Why then the Mustard without the beef. Go get thee gone, thou false deluding slave, That feedest me with the very name of meat. Sorrow on thee, and all the pack of you That triumph thus upon my misery: Go get thee gone, I say. How fares my Kate, what sweeting all a-mort? Mistress, what cheer? Faith as cold as can be. 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. I am sure sweet Kate, this kindness merits thankes. What, not a word? Nay then, thou lov'st it not: And all my pains is sorted to no proof. here take away this dish. I pray you let it stand. The poorest service is repaid with thankes, And so shall mine before you touch the meat. I thank you sir. Signior Petruchio, fie you are too blame: Come Mistress Kate, I'll bear you company. Eat it up all Hortensio, if thou lovest me: Much good do it unto thy gentle heart: Kate eat apace; and now my honey Love, Will we return unto thy Father's house, And revel it as bravely as the best, With silken coats and caps, and golden Rings, With Ruffs and Cuffs, and Farthingales, and things: With Scarves, and Fans, & double change of brau'ry, With Amber Bracelets, Beads, and all this knau'ry. What hast thou dined? The Tailor stays thy leisure, To deck thy body with his ruffling treasure. Come Tailor, let us see these ornaments. Lay forth the gown. What news with you sir? here is the cap your Worship did bespeak. Why this was moulded on a porringer, A Velvet dish: Fie, fie, 'tis lewd and filthy, Why 'tis a cockle or a walnutshell, A knack, a toy, a trick, a baby's cap: Away with it, come let me have a bigger. I'll have no bigger, this doth fit the time, And Gentlewomen wear such caps as these. When you are gentle, you shall have one too, And not till then. That will not be in haste.
