Act II, Scene I: padua. bApTISTA’S house
Exit all but PETRUCHIO . . .
[Enter KATHERINE]
Petruchio: Good morrow, Kate—for that’s your name, I hear. Katherine: Well have you heard, but something hard of hearing: They call me Katherine that do talk of me.
Petruchio: You lie, in faith, for you are call’d plain Kate, And bonny Kate, and sometimes Kate the curst;
But, Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom,
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate, Take this of me, Kate of my consolation— Hearing thy mildness prais’d in every town, Thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded, Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs,
Myself am mov’d to woo thee for my wife.
Katherine: Mov’d! in good time! Let him that mov’d you hither Remove you hence.
Petruchio: Alas, good Kate, I will not burden thee!
For, knowing thee to be but young and light—
Katherine: Too light for such a swain as you to catch; And yet as heavy as my weight should be.
Petruchio: Should be! should—buzz! Katherine: Well ta’en, and like a buzzard.
Petruchio: O, slow-wing’d turtle, shall a buzzard take thee? Katherine: Ay, for a turtle, as he takes a buzzard.
Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i’ faith, you are too angry. Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
Petruchio: My remedy is then to pluck it out.
Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find it where it lies. Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? Katherine: In his tongue.
Petruchio: Whose tongue?
Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tales; and so farewell. Petruchio: Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman. Katherine: That I’ll try. [She strikes him]
Petruchio: I swear I’ll cuff you, if you strike again.
Katherine: So may you lose your arms.
If you strike me, you are no gentleman;
And if no gentleman, why then no arms.
