Oh, no, good Kate. Neither art thou the worse
For this poor furniture and mean array.
If thou account’st it shame, lay it on me,
And therefore frolic! We will hence forthwith
To feast and sport us at thy father’s house.
(to
GRUMIO) Go, call my men, and let us
straight to him,
And bring our horses unto Long Lane end.
There will we mount, and thither walk on foot.
Let’s see, I think ’tis now some seven
o'clock,
And well we may come there by dinnertime.
|
Hardly, Kate. By the same token you are worth no less for your
simple clothes and lack of finery. If you regard it as shameful, put
the shame on me. So, let’s perk up! We’re off to
eat and whoop it up at your father’s
house.(to
GRUMIO) Go, call my men so we can
leave right away. And bring our horses to the end of Long Lane.
We’ll walk there on foot and mount up there. Let’s
see, I think it must be seven o'clock, so we should get
there easily by lunchtime.

KATHERINE
I dare assure you, sir, ’tis almost two,
And ’twill be supper time ere you come there.
|
KATHERINE
I hate to say it, but it’s almost two and we
won’t get there before suppertime.

PETRUCHIO
It shall be seven ere I go to horse.
Look what I speak, or do, or think to do,
You are still crossing it. Sirs, let ’t alone.
I will not go today, and ere I do
It shall be what o'clock I say it is.
|
PETRUCHIO
It shall be seven o'clock before I get on my horse.
Whatever I say, or think, or do, you’re continually
contradicting it. Sirs, never mind. We won’t go
today—or any day until it’s clear that it shall
be whatever time I say it is.

HORTENSIO
(aside) Why, so this gallant will
command the sun.
|
HORTENSIO
(to himself) I see this fellow
intends to command the sun.

Exeunt |
They all exit. |
