Where is Nathaniel, Gregory, Philip? Servants: Here, here, sir; here, sir.
Petruchio: Here, sir! here, sir! here, sir! here, sir! You logger-headed and unpolish’d grooms! What, no attendance? no regard? no duty? Where is the foolish knave I sent before? Grumio: Here, sir; as foolish as I was before.
Petruchio: YOU peasant swain! You malt-horse drudge! Go, rascals, go and fetch my supper in.
[Exit some of the SERVINGMEN]
[Sings] Where is the life that late I led?
Where are those—
Sit down, Kate, and welcome.
Katherine: Patience, I pray you; ‘twas a fault unwilling.
Petruchio: A beetle-headed, flap-ear’d knave! Come, Kate, sit down; I know you have a stomach. Will you give thanks, sweet Kate, or else shall I? What’s this? Mutton?
First Servant: Ay.
Petruchio: Who brought it?
Peter: I.
Petruchio: ‘Tis burnt; and so is all the meat. What dogs are these? Where is the rascal cook? How durst you villains bring it from the dresser And serve it thus to me that love it not?
There, take it to you, trenchers, cups, and all; [Throws the meat, etc., at them]
You heedless joltheads and unmanner’d slaves! What, do you grumble? I’ll be with you straight. [Exit SERVANTS]
Katherine: I pray you, husband, be not so disquiet; The meat was well, if you were so contented.
Petruchio: I tell thee, Kate, ‘twas burnt and dried away, And I expressly am forbid to touch it;
For it engenders choler, planteth anger;
And better ‘twere that both of us did fast,
Since, of ourselves, ourselves are choleric, Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh. Be patient; to-morrow ‘t shall be mended. And for this night we’ll fast for company. [Exit]
