Say that she rail; why, then, I'll tell her plain, she sings as sweetly as a nightingail: Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly washt with dew: Say she be mute and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility, And say she uttereth piercing eloquence: If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks, As though she bid me stay by her a week: If she deny to be wed, I'll crave the day When I shall ask the banns, and when be married.”]]> 2018-08-10 07:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597514 KMHS https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597535 “Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry.

Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting.

Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out.

Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies.

Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.

Katherine: In his tongue.

Petruchio: Whose tongue?

Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell.

Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, come again, Good Kate; I am a gentleman.”

 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 praised in every town, 
 Thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded, 
 Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs, 
 Myself am moved to woo thee for my wife.”]]> 2018-08-10 07:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597548 KMHS https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597560 “Think you a little din can daunt mine ears?
 Have I not in my time heard lions roar?
 Have I not heard the sea, puffed up with winds,
 Rage like an angry boar chafed with sweat?
 Have I not heard great ordinance in the field,
 And Heaven's artillery thunder in the skies?
 Have I not in a pitched battle heard
 Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang?
 And do you tell me of a woman's tongue, 
 That gives not half so great a blow to hear
 As will a chestnut in a farmer's fire?
 Tush! tush! fear boys with bugs.
 Grumio: For he fears none.”]]> 2018-08-10 07:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597560 KMHS https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597601 “Say she rail; why, I'll tell her plain
 She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
 Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear
 As morning roses newly wash'd with dew.
 Say she be mute and will not speak a word;
 Then I'll commend her volubility,
 and say she uttereth piercing eloquence.”]]> 2018-08-10 07:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597601 KMHS https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597610 “If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks
As though she bid me stay by her a week.
If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day
When I shall ask the banns, and when be married.”

 I am as peremptory as she proud-minded;
 And where two raging fires meet together
 They do consume the thing that feeds their fury:
 Though little fire grows great with little wind,
 Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all:
 So I to her and so she yields to me;
 For I am rough and woo not like a babe.”]]> 2018-08-10 07:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/272597685 Makala B https://padlet.com/KMHS/tamingoftheshrew/wish/274756562 It means that even if she rejects him over and over again he shall not leave until she loves him.
