Kate. Or seeke for rule, supremacie, and sway,
Kate. When they are bound to serue, loue, and obay.
Kate. Why are our bodies soft, and weake, and smooth,
Kate. Vnapt to toyle and trouble in the world,
Kate. But that our soft conditions, and our harts,
Kate. Should well agree with our externall parts?
Kate. Come, come, you froward and vnable wormes,
Kate. My minde hath bin as bigge as one of yours,
Kate. My heart as great, my reason haplie more,
Kate. To bandie word for word, and frowne for frowne;
Kate. But now I see our Launces are but strawes:
Kate. Our strength as weake, our weakenesse past compare,
Kate. That seeming to be most, which we indeed least are.
Kate. Then vale your stomackes, for it is no boote,
Kate. And place your hands below your husbands foote:
Kate. In token of which dutie, if he please,
Kate. My hand is readie, may it do him ease.
Pet. Pet.
Pet. Why there's a wench: Come on, and kisse mee
Pet. Kate.
