and double change of bravery, With amber bracelets, beads and all this knavery. What, hast thou dined?
The tailor stays thy leisure, To deck thy body with his ruffling treasure.
Enter Tailor
Come, tailor, let us see these ornaments; Lay forth the gown.
Enter Haberdasher
What news with you, sir? Haberdasher
Here is the cap your worship did bespeak. PETRUCHIO
Why, this was moulded 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. KATHARINA
I'll have no bigger: this doth fit the time, And gentlewomen wear such caps as these PETRUCHIO
When you are gentle, you shall have one too, And not till then. HORTENSIO
[Aside] That will not be in haste. KATHARINA
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. PETRUCHIO
Why, thou say'st true; it is a paltry cap, A custard-coffin, a bauble, a silken pie: I love thee well, in that thou
likest it not. KATHARINA
Love me or love me not, I like the cap; And it I will have, or I will have none.
Exit Haberdasher PETRUCHIO
Thy gown? why, ay: come, tailor, let us see't. O mercy, God! what masquing stuff is here? What's this? a
sleeve? 'tis like a demi-cannon: 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, i' devil's name, tailor, call'st thou
this?
