Group 7
Enter PETRUCHIO, and HORTENSIO with meat
Petruchio: How fares my Kate? What, sweeting, all amort? Hortensio: Mistress, what cheer?
Katherine: Faith, as cold as can be.
Petruchio: 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 thanks.
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.
Katherine: I pray you, let it stand.
Petruchio: The poorest service is repaid with thanks;
And so shall mine, before you touch the meat. Katherine: I thank you, sir.
Hortensio: Signior Petruchio, fie! you are to blame. Come, Mistress Kate, I’ll bear you company.
Petruchio: [Aside] 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 scarfs and fans and double change of brav’ry.
With amber bracelets, beads, and all this knav’ry.
What, hast thou din’d? The tailor stays thy leisure,
To deck thy body with his ruffling treasure.
[Petruchio tempts Kate with fancy clothing and accessories
and then takes it all away—claiming that it is not good enough.]
Petruchio: Well, come, my Kate; we will unto your father’s Even in these honest mean habiliments;
Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor;
For ‘tis the mind that makes the body rich;
And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, So honour peereth in the meanest habit.
What, is the jay more precious than the lark Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is the adder better than the eel
Because his painted skin contents the eye? O no, good Kate; neither art thou the worse
