It is hard to imagine a world without Shakespeare. Since their composition four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have traveled the globe, inviting those who see and read his works to make them their own.
Readers of the New Folger Editions are part of this ongoing process of “taking up Shakespeare,” finding our own thoughts and feelings in language that strikes us as old or unusual and, for that very reason, new. We still struggle to keep up with a writer who could think a mile a minute, whose words paint pictures that shift like clouds. These expertly edited texts are presented to the public as a resource for study, artistic adaptation, and enjoyment. By making the classic texts of the New Folger Editions available in electronic form as The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), we place a trusted resource in the hands of anyone who wants them.
The New Folger Editions of Shakespeare’s plays, which are the basis for the texts realized here in digital form, are special because of their origin. The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is the single greatest documentary source of Shakespeare’s works. An unparalleled collection of early modern books, manuscripts, and artwork connected to Shakespeare, the Folger’s holdings have been consulted extensively in the preparation of these texts. The Editions also reflect the expertise gained through the regular performance of Shakespeare’s works in the Folger’s Elizabethan Theatre.
I want to express my deep thanks to editors Barbara Mowat and Paul Werstine for creating these indispensable editions of Shakespeare’s works, which incorporate the best of textual scholarship with a richness of commentary that is both inspired and engaging. Readers who want to know more about Shakespeare and his plays can follow the paths these distinguished scholars have tread by visiting the Folger either in-person or online, where a range of physical and digital resources exists to supplement the material in these texts. I commend to you these words, and hope that they inspire.

Director, Folger Shakespeare Library
Until now, with the release of The Folger Shakespeare (formerly Folger Digital Texts), readers in search of a free online text of Shakespeare’s plays had to be content primarily with using the Moby™ Text, which reproduces a late-nineteenth century version of the plays. What is the difference? Many ordinary readers assume that there is a single text for the plays: what Shakespeare wrote. But Shakespeare’s plays were not published the way modern novels or plays are published today: as a single, authoritative text. In some cases, the plays have come down to us in multiple published versions, represented by various Quartos (Qq) and by the great collection put together by his colleagues in 1623, called the First Folio (F). There are, for example, three very different versions of Hamlet, two of King Lear, Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, and others. Editors choose which version to use as their base text, and then amend that text with words, lines or speech prefixes from the other versions that, in their judgment, make for a better or more accurate text.
Other editorial decisions involve choices about whether an unfamiliar word could be understood in light of other writings of the period or whether it should be changed; decisions about words that made it into Shakespeare’s text by accident through four hundred years of printings and misprinting; and even decisions based on cultural preference and taste. When the Moby™ Text was created, for example, it was deemed “improper” and “indecent” for Miranda to chastise Caliban for having attempted to rape her. (See The Tempest, 1.2: “Abhorred slave,/Which any print of goodness wilt not take,/Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee…”). All Shakespeare editors at the time took the speech away from her and gave it to her father, Prospero.
The editors of the Moby™ Shakespeare produced their text long before scholars fully understood the proper grounds on which to make the thousands of decisions that Shakespeare editors face. The Folger Library Shakespeare Editions, on which the Folger Shakespeare texts depend, make this editorial process as nearly transparent as is possible, in contrast to older texts, like the Moby™, which hide editorial interventions. The reader of the Folger Shakespeare knows where the text has been altered because editorial interventions are signaled by square brackets (for example, from Othello: “
If she in chains of magic were not bound,
”), half-square brackets (for example, from Henry V: “With 
blood
and sword and fire to win your right,”), or angle brackets (for example, from Hamlet: “O farewell, honest 
soldier.
Who hath relieved/you?”). At any point in the text, you can hover your cursor over a bracket for more information.
Because the Folger Shakespeare texts are edited in accord with twenty-first century knowledge about Shakespeare’s texts, the Folger here provides them to readers, scholars, teachers, actors, directors, and students, free of charge, confident of their quality as texts of the plays and pleased to be able to make this contribution to the study and enjoyment of Shakespeare.
The Taming of the Shrew begins with an “induction” in which a nobleman plays a trick on a beggar, Christopher Sly, treating Sly as if he is a nobleman who has lost his memory. A play is staged for Sly—the play that we know as The Taming of the Shrew.
In the play, set in Padua, Lucentio and other suitors pursue Bianca, but are told by her father, Baptista, that her bad-tempered older sister, Katherine, must marry first. They encourage Petruchio, who has come to Padua to find a wealthy wife, to court Katherine and free Bianca to marry.
Petruchio negotiates marriage terms with Baptista, then has a stormy meeting with Katherine, after which he assures Baptista that the two have agreed to marry. Petruchio arrives late to their wedding dressed in strange clothes; he behaves rudely and carries Katherine away before the wedding dinner. At his home, he embarks on a plan to “tame” Katherine as one would tame a wild hawk. Starved and kept without sleep, Katherine eventually agrees with everything Petruchio says, however absurd. He takes her back to Padua, where they attend Bianca’s wedding. There Katherine proves more obedient to her husband than the other wives, whom she chastises before she and Petruchio go off to consummate their marriage.

I am arrived for fruitful Lombardy ,
The pleasant garden of great Italy ,
And by my father’s love and leave am armed
With his goodwill and thy good company .
My trusty servant well approved in all ,
Here let us breathe and haply institute
A course of learning and ingenious studies .

Gave me my being , and my father first ,
A merchant of great traffic through the world ,
Vincentio , come of the Bentivolii .
Vincentio’s son , brought up in Florence ,
It shall become to serve all hopes conceived
To deck his fortune with his virtuous deeds .
And therefore , Tranio , for the time I study
Virtue , and that part of philosophy
Will I apply that treats of happiness
By virtue specially to be achieved .
Tell me thy mind , for I have Pisa left
And am to Padua come , as he that leaves
[33] ACT 1. SC. 1 A shallow plash to plunge him in the deep
And with satiety seeks to quench his thirst .

Mi perdonato , gentle master mine .
I am in all affected as yourself ,
Glad that you thus continue your resolve
To suck the sweets of sweet philosophy .
Only , good master , while we do admire
This virtue and this moral discipline ,
Let’s be no stoics nor no stocks , I pray ,
Or so devote to Aristotle’s checks
As Ovid be an outcast quite abjured .
Balk logic with acquaintance that you have ,
And practice rhetoric in your common talk ;
Music and poesy use to quicken you ;
The mathematics and the metaphysics —
Fall to them as you find your stomach serves you .
No profit grows where is no pleasure ta’en .
In brief , sir , study what you most affect .

And therefore has he closely mewed her up ,
Because she will not be annoyed with suitors .

HORTENSIO
Petruchio , since we are stepped thus far in ,
[55] ACT 1. SC. 2 I will continue that I broached in jest .
I can , Petruchio , help thee to a wife
With wealth enough , and young and beauteous ,
Brought up as best becomes a gentlewoman .
Her only fault , and that is faults enough ,
Is that she is intolerable curst ,
And shrewd , and froward , so beyond all measure
That , were my state far worser than it is ,
I would not wed her for a mine of gold .

I pray you , sir , let him go while
the humor lasts . O’ my word , an she knew him as
well as I do , she would think scolding would do little
good upon him . She may perhaps call him half a
score knaves or so . Why , that’s nothing ; an he begin
once , he’ll rail in his rope tricks . I’ll tell you what ,
sir , an she stand him but a little , he will throw a
figure in her face and so disfigure her with it that
she shall have no more eyes to see withal than a cat .

Tarry , Petruchio . I must go with thee ,
For in Baptista’s keep my treasure is .
He hath the jewel of my life in hold ,
His youngest daughter , beautiful Bianca ,
And her withholds from me and other more ,
Suitors to her and rivals in my love ,
Supposing it a thing impossible ,
For those defects I have before rehearsed ,
That ever Katherina will be wooed .
Therefore this order hath Baptista ta’en ,
That none shall have access unto Bianca
Till Katherine the curst have got a husband .

For she is sweeter than perfume itself
To whom they go to . What will you read to her ?

Rage like an angry boar chafèd with sweat ?
Have I not heard great ordnance in the field
And heaven’s artillery thunder in the skies ?
Have I not in a pitchèd battle heard
Loud ’larums , neighing steeds , and trumpets clang ?
And do you tell me of a woman’s tongue ,
That gives not half so great a blow to hear
As will a chestnut in a farmer’s fire ?
Tush , tush , fear boys with bugs !

In all my lands and leases whatsoever .
Let specialties be therefore drawn between us ,
That covenants may be kept on either hand .
BAPTISTA
Ay , when the special thing is well obtained ,
That is , her love , for that is all in all .
That is , her love , for that is all in all .
PETRUCHIO
Why , that is nothing . For I tell you , father ,
I am as peremptory as she proud-minded ;
And where two raging fires meet together ,
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury .
Though little fire grows great with little wind ,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all .
So I to her and so she yields to me ,
For I am rough and woo not like a babe .
I am as peremptory as she proud-minded ;
And where two raging fires meet together ,
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury .
Though little fire grows great with little wind ,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all .

For I am rough and woo not like a babe .
BAPTISTA
Well mayst thou woo , and happy be thy speed .
But be thou armed for some unhappy words .

PETRUCHIO
Ay , to the proof , as mountains are for winds ,
That shakes not , though they blow perpetually .

[85]ACT 2. SC. 1
Enter Hortensio as Litio with his head broke .
BAPTISTA
How now , my friend , why dost thou look so pale ?
HORTENSIO
, as Litio
For fear , I promise you , if I look pale .
BAPTISTA
What , will my daughter prove a good musician ?
HORTENSIO
, as Litio
I think she’ll sooner prove a soldier !
Iron may hold with her , but never lutes .
Iron may hold with her , but never lutes .
BAPTISTA
Why , then thou canst not break her to the lute ?
HORTENSIO
, as Litio
Why , no , for she hath broke the lute to me .
I did but tell her she mistook her frets ,
And bowed her hand to teach her fingering ,
When , with a most impatient devilish spirit ,
‘‘Frets’ call you these ?’ quoth she . ‘I’ll fume with
them !’
And with that word she struck me on the head ,
And through the instrument my pate made way ,
And there I stood amazèd for a while ,
As on a pillory , looking through the lute ,
While she did call me ‘rascal fiddler ,’
And ‘twangling Jack ,’ with twenty such vile terms ,
As had she studied to misuse me so .

PETRUCHIO
Now , by the world , it is a lusty wench .
I love her ten times more than ere I did .
O , how I long to have some chat with her !
I love her ten times more than ere I did .
O , how I long to have some chat with her !
BAPTISTA
, to Hortensio
as Litio
Well , go with me , and be not so discomfited .
Proceed in practice with my younger daughter .
She’s apt to learn , and thankful for good turns . —
Signior Petruchio , will you go with us ,
Or shall I send my daughter Kate to you ?

Signior Petruchio , will you go with us ,

[87]ACT 2. SC. 1
PETRUCHIO
I pray you do . I’ll attend her here —
And woo her with some spirit when she comes !
Say that she rail , why then I’ll tell her plain
She sings as sweetly as a nightingale .
Say that she frown , I’ll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly washed with dew .
Say she be mute and will not speak a word ,
Then I’ll commend her volubility
And say she uttereth piercing eloquence .
If she do bid me pack , I’ll give her thanks
As though she bid me stay by her a week .
If she deny to wed , I’ll crave the day
When I shall ask the banns , and when be marrièd .
But here she comes — and now , Petruchio , speak .
Good morrow , Kate , for that’s your name , I hear .
All but Petruchio exit .
And woo her with some spirit when she comes !
Say that she rail , why then I’ll tell her plain
She sings as sweetly as a nightingale .
Say that she frown , I’ll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly washed with dew .

But here she comes — and now , Petruchio , speak .
Enter Katherine .
Good morrow , Kate , for that’s your name , I hear .
KATHERINE
Well have you heard , but something hard of hearing .
They call me Katherine that do talk of me .
They call me Katherine that do talk of me .
PETRUCHIO
You lie , in faith , for you are called plain Kate ,
And bonny Kate , and sometimes Kate the curst .
But Kate , the prettiest Kate in Christendom ,
Kate of Kate Hall , my super-dainty Kate
( For dainties are all Kates ) — and therefore , Kate ,
Take this of me , Kate of my consolation :
Hearing thy mildness praised in every town ,
Thy virtues spoke of , and thy beauty sounded
( Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs ) ,
Myself am moved to woo thee for my wife .
And bonny Kate , and sometimes Kate the curst .

KATHERINE
‘Moved ,’ in good time ! Let him that moved you

You were a movable .

[89] ACT 2. SC. 1 Remove you hence . I knew you at the first
You were a movable .
PETRUCHIO
Why , what’s a movable ?
KATHERINE
A joint stool .
PETRUCHIO
Thou hast hit it . Come , sit on me .
KATHERINE
Asses are made to bear , and so are you .
PETRUCHIO
Women are made to bear , and so are you .
KATHERINE
No such jade as you , if me you mean .
PETRUCHIO
Alas , good Kate , I will not burden thee ,
For knowing thee to be but young and light —
For knowing thee to be but young and light —
KATHERINE
Too light for such a swain as you to catch ,
And yet as heavy as my weight should be .
And yet as heavy as my weight should be .
PETRUCHIO
‘Should be’ — should buzz !
KATHERINE
Well ta’en , and like a
buzzard .
buzzard .
PETRUCHIO
O slow-winged turtle , shall a buzzard take thee ?
KATHERINE
Ay , for a turtle , as he takes a buzzard .
PETRUCHIO
Come , come , you wasp ! I’ faith , you are too angry .
KATHERINE
If I be waspish , best beware my sting .
PETRUCHIO
My remedy is then to pluck it out .
KATHERINE
Ay , if the fool could find it where it lies .
[91]ACT 2. SC. 1
PETRUCHIO
Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting ?
In his tail .
In his tail .
KATHERINE
In his tongue .
PETRUCHIO
Whose tongue ?
KATHERINE
Yours , if you talk of tales , and so farewell .
PETRUCHIO
What , with my tongue in your tail ?
Nay , come again , good Kate . I am a gentleman —
Nay , come again , good Kate . I am a gentleman —
KATHERINE
That I’ll try .
She strikes him .
PETRUCHIO
I swear I’ll cuff you if you strike again .
KATHERINE
So may you lose your arms .
If you strike me , you are no gentleman ,
And if no gentleman , why then no arms .
If you strike me , you are no gentleman ,
And if no gentleman , why then no arms .
PETRUCHIO
A herald , Kate ? O , put me in thy books .
KATHERINE
What is your crest ? A coxcomb ?
PETRUCHIO
A combless cock , so Kate will be my hen .
KATHERINE
No cock of mine . You crow too like a craven .
PETRUCHIO
Nay , come , Kate , come . You must not look so sour .
KATHERINE
It is my fashion when I see a crab .
PETRUCHIO
Why , here’s no crab , and therefore look not sour .
KATHERINE
There is , there is .
PETRUCHIO
Then show it me .
KATHERINE
Had I a glass , I would .
PETRUCHIO
What , you mean my face ?
KATHERINE
Well aimed of such a young one .
PETRUCHIO
Now , by Saint George , I am too young for you .
[93]ACT 2. SC. 1
KATHERINE
Yet you are withered .
PETRUCHIO
’Tis with cares .
KATHERINE
I care not .
PETRUCHIO
Nay , hear you , Kate — in sooth , you ’scape not so .
KATHERINE
I chafe you if I tarry . Let me go .
PETRUCHIO
No , not a whit . I find you passing gentle .
’Twas told me you were rough , and coy , and sullen ,
And now I find report a very liar .
For thou art pleasant , gamesome , passing
courteous ,
But slow in speech , yet sweet as springtime flowers .
Thou canst not frown , thou canst not look askance ,
Nor bite the lip as angry wenches will ,
Nor hast thou pleasure to be cross in talk .
But thou with mildness entertain’st thy wooers ,
With gentle conference , soft , and affable .
Why does the world report that Kate doth limp ?
O sland’rous world ! Kate like the hazel twig
Is straight , and slender , and as brown in hue
As hazelnuts , and sweeter than the kernels .
O , let me see thee walk ! Thou dost not halt .

PETRUCHIO
Did ever Dian so become a grove
As Kate this chamber with her princely gait ?
O , be thou Dian and let her be Kate ,
And then let Kate be chaste and Dian sportful .
As Kate this chamber with her princely gait ?
O , be thou Dian and let her be Kate ,
And then let Kate be chaste and Dian sportful .
KATHERINE
Where did you study all this goodly speech ?
PETRUCHIO
It is extempore , from my mother wit .
[95]ACT 2. SC. 1
KATHERINE
A witty mother , witless else her son .
PETRUCHIO
Am I not wise ?
KATHERINE
Yes , keep you warm .
PETRUCHIO
Marry , so I mean , sweet Katherine , in thy bed .
And therefore , setting all this chat aside ,
Thus in plain terms : your father hath consented
That you shall be my wife , your dowry ’greed on ,
And , will you , nill you , I will marry you .
Now , Kate , I am a husband for your turn ,
For by this light , whereby I see thy beauty ,
Thy beauty that doth make me like thee well ,
Thou must be married to no man but me .
For I am he am born to tame you , Kate ,
And bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate
Conformable as other household Kates .
Here comes your father . Never make denial .
I must and will have Katherine to my wife .

Here comes your father . Never make denial .
I must and will have Katherine to my wife .

Now , Signior Petruchio , how speed you with my
daughter ?

How but well , sir ? How but well ?
It were impossible I should speed amiss .

KATHERINE
Call you me daughter ? Now I promise you
You have showed a tender fatherly regard ,

A madcap ruffian and a swearing Jack ,
That thinks with oaths to face the matter out .

[97]ACT 2. SC. 1
PETRUCHIO
Father , ’tis thus : yourself and all the world
That talked of her have talked amiss of her .
If she be curst , it is for policy ,
For she’s not froward , but modest as the dove ;
She is not hot , but temperate as the morn .
For patience she will prove a second Grissel ,
And Roman Lucrece for her chastity .
And to conclude , we have ’greed so well together
That upon Sunday is the wedding day .

TRANIO

Is this your speeding ? Nay ,
then , goodnight our part .
then , goodnight our part .
PETRUCHIO
Be patient , gentlemen . I choose her for myself .
If she and I be pleased , what’s that to you ?
’Tis bargained ’twixt us twain , being alone ,
That she shall still be curst in company .
I tell you , ’tis incredible to believe
How much she loves me . O , the kindest Kate !
She hung about my neck , and kiss on kiss
She vied so fast , protesting oath on oath ,
That in a twink she won me to her love .
O , you are novices ! ’Tis a world to see
How tame , when men and women are alone ,
A meacock wretch can make the curstest shrew . —
Give me thy hand , Kate . I will unto Venice
To buy apparel ’gainst the wedding day . —
Provide the feast , father , and bid the guests .
I will be sure my Katherine shall be fine .

The gain I seek , is quiet in the match .

GREMIO
First , as you know , my house within the city
Is richly furnishèd with plate and gold ,
Basins and ewers to lave her dainty hands ;
My hangings all of Tyrian tapestry ;
In ivory coffers I have stuffed my crowns ,
In cypress chests my arras counterpoints ,
Costly apparel , tents , and canopies ,
Fine linen , Turkey cushions bossed with pearl ,
Valance of Venice gold in needlework ,
Pewter and brass , and all things that belongs
To house or housekeeping . Then , at my farm
I have a hundred milch-kine to the pail ,
Six score fat oxen standing in my stalls ,
And all things answerable to this portion .
Myself am struck in years , I must confess ,
And if I die tomorrow this is hers ,
If whilst I live she will be only mine .

Do get their children . But in this case of wooing ,
A child shall get a sire , if I fail not of my cunning .

HORTENSIO

Madam , before you touch the instrument ,
To learn the order of my fingering
I must begin with rudiments of art ,
To teach you gamut in a briefer sort ,
More pleasant , pithy , and effectual
Than hath been taught by any of my trade .
And there it is in writing fairly drawn .

HORTENSIO
But I have cause to pry into this pedant .

To cast thy wand’ring eyes on every stale ,
Seize thee that list ! If once I find thee ranging ,
Hortensio will be quit with thee by changing .

BAPTISTA
, to Tranio
Signior Lucentio , this is the ’pointed day
[117] ACT 3. SC. 2 That Katherine and Petruchio should be married ,
And yet we hear not of our son-in-law .
What will be said ? What mockery will it be ,
To want the bridegroom when the priest attends
To speak the ceremonial rites of marriage ?
What says Lucentio to this shame of ours ?

KATHERINE
No shame but mine . I must , forsooth , be forced
To give my hand , opposed against my heart ,
Unto a mad-brain rudesby , full of spleen ,
Who wooed in haste and means to wed at leisure .
I told you , I , he was a frantic fool ,
Hiding his bitter jests in blunt behavior ,
And , to be noted for a merry man ,
He’ll woo a thousand , ’point the day of marriage ,
Make friends , invite , and proclaim the banns ,
Yet never means to wed where he hath wooed .
Now must the world point at poor Katherine
And say ‘Lo , there is mad Petruchio’s wife ,
If it would please him come and marry her .’

Though he be merry , yet withal he’s honest .

Go , girl . I cannot blame thee now to weep ,
For such an injury would vex a very saint ,
Much more a shrew of thy impatient humor .

BIONDELLO
When he stands where I am , and sees you there .
TRANIO

But say , what to thine old news ?
BIONDELLO
Why , Petruchio is coming in a new hat and
an old jerkin , a pair of old breeches thrice turned ,
a pair of boots that have been candle-cases , one
buckled , another laced ; an old rusty sword ta’en
out of the town armory , with a broken hilt , and
chapeless ; with two broken points ; his horse
hipped , with an old mothy saddle and stirrups of no
kindred , besides possessed with the glanders and
like to mose in the chine , troubled with the lampass ,
infected with the fashions , full of windgalls ,
sped with spavins , rayed with the yellows , past cure
of the fives , stark spoiled with the staggers , begnawn
with the bots , swayed in the back and shoulder-shotten ,
near-legged before , and with a half-checked
bit and a headstall of sheep’s leather ,
which , being restrained to keep him from stumbling ,
hath been often burst , and now repaired with
knots ; one girth six times pieced , and a woman’s
crupper of velour , which hath two letters for her
name fairly set down in studs , and here and there
pieced with packthread .

Who comes with him ?
[121]ACT 3. SC. 2
BIONDELLO
Oh , sir , his lackey , for all the world caparisoned
like the horse : with a linen stock on one leg
and a kersey boot-hose on the other , gartered with
a red and blue list ; an old hat , and the humor of
forty fancies pricked in ’t for a feather . A monster ,
a very monster in apparel , and not like a Christian
footboy or a gentleman’s lackey .

As if they saw some wondrous monument ,
Some comet or unusual prodigy ?

BAPTISTA

First were we sad , fearing you would not come ,
Now sadder that you come so unprovided .
Fie , doff this habit , shame to your estate ,
An eyesore to our solemn festival .

Tedious it were to tell , and harsh to hear .
Sufficeth I am come to keep my word ,

Which at more leisure I will so excuse
As you shall well be satisfied with all .
But where is Kate ? I stay too long from her .
The morning wears . ’Tis time we were at church .

PETRUCHIO
Good sooth , even thus . Therefore , ha’ done with
words .
To me she’s married , not unto my clothes .
Could I repair what she will wear in me ,
As I can change these poor accoutrements ,

But what a fool am I to chat with you
When I should bid good morrow to my bride
And seal the title with a lovely kiss !

GREMIO
Tut , she’s a lamb , a dove , a fool to him .
I’ll tell you , Sir Lucentio : when the priest
Should ask if Katherine should be his wife ,
‘Ay , by gog’s wouns !’ quoth he , and swore so loud
That , all amazed , the priest let fall the book ,
And as he stooped again to take it up ,
This mad-brained bridegroom took him such a cuff
That down fell priest and book , and book and priest .
‘Now , take them up ,’ quoth he , ‘if any list .’

TRANIO

What said the wench when he rose again ?
GREMIO
Trembled and shook , for why he stamped and swore
As if the vicar meant to cozen him .
But after many ceremonies done ,
He calls for wine . ‘A health !’ quoth he , as if
He had been aboard , carousing to his mates
After a storm ; quaffed off the muscatel
[129] ACT 3. SC. 2 And threw the sops all in the sexton’s face ,
Having no other reason
But that his beard grew thin and hungerly ,
And seemed to ask him sops as he was drinking .
This done , he took the bride about the neck
And kissed her lips with such a clamorous smack
That at the parting all the church did echo .
And I , seeing this , came thence for very shame ,
And after me I know the rout is coming .
Such a mad marriage never was before !
Hark , hark , I hear the minstrels play .

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 !

Why , therefore fire , for I have caught extreme

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 everything in order ?

There !
He slaps Curtis on the ear .
CURTIS
This ’tis to feel a tale , not to hear a tale .
GRUMIO
And therefore ’tis called a sensible tale . And
this cuff was but to knock at your ear and beseech

foul hill , my master riding behind my mistress —

Both of one horse ?
GRUMIO
What’s that to thee ?
CURTIS
Why , a horse .
GRUMIO
Tell thou the tale ! But hadst thou not crossed
me , thou shouldst have heard how her horse fell ,
and she under her horse ; thou shouldst have heard
in how miry a place , how she was bemoiled , how he
left her with the horse upon her , how he beat me
because her horse stumbled , how she waded
through the dirt to pluck him off me , how he swore ,
how she prayed that never prayed before , how I
cried , how the horses ran away , how her bridle was
burst , how I lost my crupper , with many things of
worthy memory which now shall die in oblivion ,
and thou return unexperienced to thy grave .

By this reck’ning , he is more shrew than she .
GRUMIO
Ay , and that thou and the proudest of you all

Walter , Sugarsop , and the rest . Let their heads

their garters of an indifferent knit . Let them curtsy
with their left legs , and not presume to touch a hair
of my master’s horse-tail till they kiss their hands .
Are they all ready ?

And I expressly am forbid to touch it ,

Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh .
Be patient . Tomorrow ’t shall be mended ,

PETRUCHIO
Thus have I politicly begun my reign ,
And ’tis my hope to end successfully .
My falcon now is sharp and passing empty ,
And , till she stoop , she must not be full-gorged ,
For then she never looks upon her lure .
Another way I have to man my haggard ,
To make her come and know her keeper’s call .
That is , to watch her , as we watch these kites
That bate and beat and will not be obedient .
She ate no meat today , nor none shall eat .
Last night she slept not , nor tonight she shall not .
As with the meat , some undeservèd fault
I’ll find about the making of the bed ,
And here I’ll fling the pillow , there the bolster ,
This way the coverlet , another way the sheets .
Ay , and amid this hurly I intend
[153] ACT 4. SC. 2 That all is done in reverend care of her .
And , in conclusion , she shall watch all night ,
And , if she chance to nod , I’ll rail and brawl ,
And with the clamor keep her still awake .
This is a way to kill a wife with kindness .
And thus I’ll curb her mad and headstrong humor .
He that knows better how to tame a shrew ,
Now let him speak ; ’tis charity to shew .

HORTENSIO
Would all the world but he had quite forsworn !
For me , that I may surely keep mine oath ,
I will be married to a wealthy widow
Ere three days pass , which hath as long loved me
As I have loved this proud disdainful haggard .

’Tis marvel , but that you are but newly come ,
You might have heard it else proclaimed about .

The more my wrong , the more his spite appears .
What , did he marry me to famish me ?
Beggars that come unto my father’s door
Upon entreaty have a present alms .
If not , elsewhere they meet with charity .
But I , who never knew how to entreat ,
Nor never needed that I should entreat ,
Am starved for meat , giddy for lack of sleep ,
With oaths kept waking and with brawling fed .
And that which spites me more than all these wants ,
He does it under name of perfect love ,
As who should say , if I should sleep or eat
’Twere deadly sickness or else present death .
I prithee , go , and get me some repast ,
I care not what , so it be wholesome food .

And all my pains is sorted to no proof .

With ruffs and cuffs and farthingales and things ,
With scarves and fans and double change of brav’ry ,
With amber bracelets , beads , and all this knav’ry .

To deck thy body with his ruffling treasure .

HABERDASHER
Here is the cap your Worship did bespeak .
PETRUCHIO
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 baby’s cap .
Away with it ! Come , let me have a bigger .

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 ,
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 .

Thy gown ? Why , ay . Come , tailor , let us see ’t .
O mercy God , what masking-stuff is here ?

What , up and down carved like an apple tart ?
Here’s snip and nip and cut and slish and slash ,
Like to a censer in a barber’s shop .
Why , what a devil’s name , tailor , call’st thou this ?

BAPTISTA
O , O , Petruchio ! Tranio hits you now .
LUCENTIO
I thank thee for that gird , good Tranio .

He has a little galled me , I confess .
And as the jest did glance away from me ,
’Tis ten to one it maimed you two outright .

Shall win the wager which we will propose .

Another dowry to another daughter ,
For she is changed as she had never been .

PETRUCHIO
Nay , I will win my wager better yet ,
And show more sign of her obedience ,

See where she comes , and brings your froward
wives
As prisoners to her womanly persuasion . —

PETRUCHIO
Come on , I say , and first begin with her .
WIDOW
She shall not .
PETRUCHIO
I say she shall . — And first begin with her .
KATHERINE
Fie , fie ! Unknit that threat’ning unkind brow ,
And dart not scornful glances from those eyes
To wound thy lord , thy king , thy governor .
It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads ,
Confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds ,
And in no sense is meet or amiable .
A woman moved is like a fountain troubled ,
Muddy , ill-seeming , thick , bereft of beauty ,
And while it is so , none so dry or thirsty
Will deign to sip or touch one drop of it .
Thy husband is thy lord , thy life , thy keeper ,
Thy head , thy sovereign , one that cares for thee ,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labor both by sea and land ,
To watch the night in storms , the day in cold ,
Whilst thou liest warm at home , secure and safe ,
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love , fair looks , and true obedience —
Too little payment for so great a debt .
Such duty as the subject owes the prince ,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband ;
And when she is froward , peevish , sullen , sour ,
And not obedient to his honest will ,
What is she but a foul contending rebel
And graceless traitor to her loving lord ?
I am ashamed that women are so simple
To offer war where they should kneel for peace ,
[221] ACT 5. SC. 2 Or seek for rule , supremacy , and sway
When they are bound to serve , love , and obey .
Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth ,
Unapt to toil and trouble in the world ,
But that our soft conditions and our hearts
Should well agree with our external parts ?
Come , come , you froward and unable worms !
My mind hath been as big as one of yours ,
My heart as great , my reason haply more ,
To bandy word for word and frown for frown ;
But now I see our lances are but straws ,
Our strength as weak , our weakness past compare ,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are .
Then vail your stomachs , for it is no boot ,
And place your hands below your husband’s foot ;
In token of which duty , if he please ,
My hand is ready , may it do him ease .
And dart not scornful glances from those eyes
To wound thy lord , thy king , thy governor .
It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads ,
Confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds ,
And in no sense is meet or amiable .
A woman moved is like a fountain troubled ,

They kiss .
LUCENTIO
Well , go thy ways , old lad , for thou shalt ha ’t .

LUCENTIO
’Tis a wonder , by your leave , she will be tamed so .
