P. 1453

So may you lose your arms.
 If you strike me, you are no gentleman,
 And if no gentleman, why then no arms. [220]

PET RUCHIO

 A herald, Kate? O, put me in thy books.

KAT HERINA

 What is your crest, a coxcomb?

PET RUCHIO

 A combless cock, so Kate will be my hen.

KAT HERINA

 No cock of mine, you crow too like a craven.

PET RUCHIO

 Nay, come, Kate, come; you must not look so sour. [225]

KAT HERINA

 It is my fashion when I see a crab.

PET RUCHIO

 Why, here’s no crab, and therefore look not sour.

KAT HERINA

 There is, there is.

PET RUCHIO

 Then show it me.

KAT HERINA

                Had I a glass, I would.

PET RUCHIO

 What, you mean my face?

KAT HERINA

                Well aim’d of such a young one. [230]
