GRUMIO . O , sir , the conceit is deeper than you think for . Take up my mistress ' gown to his master ' s use ! O fie , fie , fie !
PETRUCHIO . [ Aside ] Hortensio , say thou wilt see the tailor paid . [ To Tailor .] Go take it hence ; be gone , and say no more .
HORTENSIO . [ Aside to Tailor .] Tailor , I ' ll pay thee for thy gown to-morrow ; Take no unkindness of his hasty words . Away , I say ! commend me to thy master .
[ Exit TAILOR .]
PETRUCHIO . Well , come , my Kate ; we will unto your father ' s Even in these honest mean habiliments . Our purses shall be proud , our garments poor For ' tis the mind that makes the body rich ; And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds , So honour peereth in the meanest habit . What , is the jay more precious than the lark Because his feathers are more beautiful ? Or is the adder better than the eel Because his painted skin contents the eye ? O 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 . 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 dinner-time .
KATHERINA . I dare assure you , sir , ' tis almost two , And ' twill be supper-time ere you come there .
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 to-day ; and ere I do , It shall be what o ' clock I say it is .
HORTENSIO . Why , so this gallant will command the sun . [ Exeunt .]
