Taming of the Shrew

Here is the cap your worship did bespeak.

Taming of the Shrew
[IV, 3]

Petruchio

2027

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.

Taming of the Shrew
[IV, 3]

Petruchio

2045

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 lik'st it not.

Taming of the Shrew
[IV, 3]

Katherina

2048

Love me or love me not, I like the cap;
And it I will have, or I will have none. Exit HABERDASHER

Taming of the Shrew

Hortensio

[Aside] I see she's like to have neither cap nor gown.

Taming of the Shrew
[V, 2]

Petruchio

2622

Nay, I will win my wager better yet,
And show more sign of her obedience,
Her new-built virtue and obedience.
[Re-enter KATHERINA with BIANCA and WIDOW]
See where she comes, and brings your froward wives
As prisoners to her womanly persuasion.
Katherine, that cap of yours becomes you not:
Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot.
