Taming of the Shrew
[II, 1]

Petruchio

1031

You lie, in faith, for you are call'd plain Kate,
And bonny Kate, and sometimes Kate the curst;
But, Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom,
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation-
Hearing thy mildness prais'd in every town,
Thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded,
Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs,
Myself am mov'd to woo thee for my wife.

Taming of the Shrew
[III, 2]

Tranio

1429

'Tis some odd humour pricks him to this fashion;
Yet oftentimes lie goes but mean-apparell'd.

Taming of the Shrew
[IV, 4]

Tranio

Then at my lodging, an it like you.
There doth my father lie; and there this night
We'll pass the business privately and well.
Send for your daughter by your servant here;
My boy shall fetch the scrivener presently.
The worst is this, that at so slender warning
You are like to have a thin and slender pittance.

Nay, then you lie; it is the blessed sun.
