GREMIO: |
I warrant him, Petruchio is Kated. |
BAPTISTA: |
Neighbours and friends, though bride and |
bridegroom wants |
For to supply the places at the table, |
You know there wants no junkets at the feast. |
Lucentio, you shall supply the bridegroom's place: |
And let Bianca take her sister's room. |
TRANIO: |
Shall sweet Bianca practise how to bride it? |
BAPTISTA: |
She shall, Lucentio. Come, gentlemen, let's go. |
GRUMIO: |
Fie, fie on all tired jades, on all mad masters, and |
all foul ways! Was ever man so beaten? was ever |
man so rayed? was ever man so weary? I am sent |
before to make a fire, and they are coming after to |
warm them. Now, were not I a little pot and soon |
hot, my very lips might freeze to my teeth, my |
tongue to the roof of my mouth, my heart in my |
belly, ere I should come by a fire to thaw me: but |
I, with blowing the fire, shall warm myself; for, |
considering the weather, a taller man than I will |
take cold. Holla, ho! Curtis. |
CURTIS: |
Who is that calls so coldly? |
GRUMIO: |
A piece of ice: if thou doubt it, thou mayst slide |
from my shoulder to my heel with no greater a run |
but my head and my neck. A fire good Curtis. |
CURTIS: |
Is my master and his wife coming, Grumio? |
GRUMIO: |
O, ay, Curtis, ay: and therefore fire, fire; cast |
on no water. |
CURTIS: |
Is she so hot a shrew as she's reported? |
GRUMIO: |
She was, good Curtis, before this frost: but, thou |
knowest, winter tames man, woman and beast; for it |
hath tamed my old master and my new mistress and |
myself, fellow Curtis. |
CURTIS: |
Away, you three-inch fool! I am no beast. |
GRUMIO: |
Am I but three inches? why, thy horn is a foot; and |
so long am I at the least. But wilt thou make a |
fire, or shall I complain on thee to our mistress, |
whose hand, she being now at hand, thou shalt soon |
feel, to thy cold comfort, for being slow in thy hot office? |
CURTIS: |
I prithee, good Grumio, tell me, how goes the world? |
GRUMIO: |
A cold world, Curtis, in every office but thine; and |
therefore fire: do thy duty, and have thy duty; for |
my master and mistress are almost frozen to death. |
CURTIS: |
There's fire ready; and therefore, good Grumio, the news. |
GRUMIO: |
Why, 'Jack, boy! ho! boy!' and as much news as |
will thaw. |
CURTIS: |
Come, you are so full of cony-catching! |
GRUMIO: |
Why, therefore fire; for I have caught extreme cold. |
Where's the cook? is supper ready, the house |
trimmed, rushes strewed, cobwebs swept; the |
serving-men in their new fustian, their white |
stockings, and every officer his wedding-garment on? |
Be the jacks fair within, the jills fair without, |
the carpets laid, and every thing in order? |
CURTIS: |
All ready; and therefore, I pray thee, news. |
GRUMIO: |
First, know, my horse is tired; my master and |
mistress fallen out. |
CURTIS: |
