[ Throws the meat , etc ., at them .]
There , take it to you , trenchers , cups , and all . You heedless joltheads and unmanner ' d slaves ! What ! do you grumble ? I ' ll be with you straight .
KATHERINA . I pray you , husband , be not so disquiet ; The meat was well , if you were so contented .
PETRUCHIO . I tell thee , Kate , ' twas burnt and dried away , And I expressly am forbid to touch it ; For it engenders choler , planteth anger ; And better ' twere that both of us did fast , Since , of ourselves , ourselves are choleric , Than feed it with such over-roasted flesh . Be patient ; to-morrow ' t shall be mended . And for this night we ' ll fast for company : Come , I will bring thee to thy bridal chamber .
[ Exeunt PETRUCHIO , KATHERINA , and CURTIS .] NATHANIEL . Peter , didst ever see the like ? PETER . He kills her in her own humour . [ Re-enter CURTIS .] GRUMIO . Where is he ?
CURTIS . In her chamber , making a sermon of continency to her ; And rails , and swears , and rates , that she , poor soul , Knows not which way to stand , to look , to speak , And sits as one new risen from a dream . Away , away ! for he is coming hither .
