PETRUCHIO 65 Why, this was molded on a porringer! A velvet dish! Fie, fie, tis lewd and filthy! Why, tis a cockle or a walnut shell, A knack, a toy, a trick, a babys cap. Away with it!

KATHERINE 75 Why, sir, I trust I may have leave to speak, And speak I will. I am no child, no babe. Your betters have endured me say my mind, And if you cannot, best you stop your ears. My tongue will tell the anger of my heart 80 Or else my heart, concealing it, will break, And, rather than it shall, I will be free Even to the uttermost, as I please, in words. | NEHRIAEKT riS, I hnitk I vaeh hte thrig to pakes, dan ksape I ciltyaern will.

Braved in mine own house with a skein of thread?

And now, my honey love, Will we return unto thy fathers house 55 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 scarves and fans and double change of bravry, With amber bracelets, beads, and all this knavry. 60 What, hast thou dined?
