GRUMIO . Nay , then I will not : you shall have the mustard , Or else you get no beef of Grumio .
KATHERINA . Then both , or one , or anything thou wilt . GRUMIO . Why then the mustard without the beef . KATHERINA . Go , get thee gone , thou false deluding slave , [ Beats him .]
That feed ' st me with the very name of meat . Sorrow on thee and all the pack of you That triumph thus upon my misery ! Go , get thee gone , I say .
[ Enter PETRUCHIO with a dish of meat ; and HORTENSIO .] PETRUCHIO . How fares my Kate ? What , sweeting , all amort ? HORTENSIO . Mistress , what cheer ? KATHERINA . Faith , as cold as can be .
PETRUCHIO . Pluck up thy spirits ; look cheerfully upon me . Here , love ; thou seest how diligent I am , To dress thy meat myself , and bring it thee :
[ Sets the dish on a table .]
I am sure , sweet Kate , this kindness merits thanks . What ! not a word ? Nay , then thou lov ' st it not , And all my pains is sorted to no proof . Here , take away this dish .
KATHERINA . I pray you , let it stand .
PETRUCHIO . The poorest service is repaid with thanks ; And so shall mine , before you touch the meat .
