_Pet._ Marry, and did; but if you be remember'd, I did not bid you mar it to the time. Go, hop me over every kennel home, For you shall hop without my custom, sir: I'll none of it: hence! make your best of it. 100 _Kath._ I never saw a better-fashion'd gown, More quaint, more pleasing, nor more commendable: Belike you mean to make a puppet of me. _Pet._ Why, true; he means to make a puppet of thee. _Tai._ She says your worship means to make a puppet of her. 105 _Pet._ O monstrous arrogance! Thou liest, thou thread, thou thimble, Thou yard, three-quarters, half-yard, quarter, nail! Thou flea, thou nit, thou winter-cricket thou! Braved in mine own house with a skein of thread? 110 Away, thou rag, thou quantity, thou remnant; Or I shall so be-mete thee with thy yard, As thou shalt think on prating whilst thou livest! I tell thee, I, that thou hast marr'd her gown. _Tai._ Your worship is deceived; the gown is made 115 Just as my master had direction: Grumio gave order how it should be done. _Gru._ I gave him no order; I gave him the stuff. _Tai._ But how did you desire it should be made? _Gru._ Marry, sir, with needle and thread. 120 _Tai._ But did you not request to have it cut? _Gru._ Thou hast faced many things. _Tai._ I have. _Gru._ Face not me: thou hast braved many men; brave not me; I will neither be faced nor braved. I say unto 125 thee, I bid thy master cut out the gown; but I did not bid him cut it to pieces: ergo, thou liest. _Tai._ Why, here is the note of the fashion to testify. _Pet._ Read it. _Gru._ The note lies in's throat, if he say I said so. 130 _Tai._ [_reads_] 'Imprimis, a loose-bodied gown:' _Gru._ Master, if ever I said loose-bodied gown, sew me in the skirts of it, and beat me to death with a bottom of brown thread: I said a gown. _Pet._ Proceed. 135 _Tai._ [_reads_] 'With a small compassed cape:' _Gru._ I confess the cape. _Tai._ [_reads_] 'With a trunk sleeve:' _Gru._ I confess two sleeves. _Tai._ [_reads_] 'The sleeves curiously cut.' 140 _Pet._ Ay, there's the villany. _Gru._ Error i' the bill, sir; error i' the bill. I commanded the sleeves should be cut out, and sewed up again; and that I'll prove upon thee, though thy little finger be armed in a thimble. 145 _Tai._ This is true that I say: an I had thee in place where, thou shouldst know it. _Gru._ I am for thee straight: take thou the bill, give me thy mete-yard, and spare not me. _Hor._ God-a-mercy, Grumio! then he shall have no odds. 150 _Pet._ Well, sir, in brief, the gown is not for me.
