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:
