The gown. Come, tailor, let us see't.
1:30:18
O mercy, God! What mummer's stuff is here?
1:30:21
What's this? A sleeve? 'Ris like a demi-cannon.
What, up and down, carv'd like an apple tart?

1:30:26
Why, what the devil's name, tailor,
call'st thou this?

1:30:28
You bid me make it orderly and well,
According to the fashion and the time.

1:30:32
O monstrous arrogance!
Thou liest, thou thread, thou thimble,

1:30:36
Thou yard, three-quarters, thou liest.
1:30:39
Thou half-yard, quarter, inch,
Thou flea, thou nit, thou winter-cricket thou!

1:30:43
Away, thou rag, thou quantity, thou remnant,
1:30:46
Or I shall so bemete thee with thy yard
As thou shalt think on prating whilst thou liv'st.

1:31:11
Well, come, my Kate,
we must unto your father's

1:31:15
Even in these honest mean habiliments.
1:31:18
Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor,
For 'tis the mind that makes the body rich,

1:31:24
And as the sun
breaks through the darkest clouds,

1:31:27
So honour peereth in the meanest habit.
1:31:30
What, is the jay more precious than the lark
Because his feathers are more beautiful?

1:31:34
Or is the adder better than the eel
Because his painted skin contents the eye?

1:31:39
O no, good Kate; neither art thou the worse
For this poor furniture and mean array.

1:31:45
If thou account'st it shame, blame it on me.
1:31:50
Grumio!
1:31:52
Say thou wilt see the tailor paid.
