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.  
KATHARINA  
That I'll try.  
She strikes him  
PETRUCHIO  
I swear I'll cuff you, if you strike again.  
KATHARINA  
So may you lose your arms:  
If you strike me, you are no gentleman;  
And if no gentleman, why then no arms.  
PETRUCHIO  
A herald, Kate? O, put me in thy books!  
KATHARINA  
What is your crest? a coxcomb?  
PETRUCHIO  
A combless cock, so Kate will be my hen.  
KATHARINA  
No cock of mine; you crow too like a craven.  
PETRUCHIO  
Nay, come, Kate, come; you must not look so sour.  
KATHARINA  
It is my fashion, when I see a crab.  
PETRUCHIO  
Why, here's no crab; and therefore look not sour.  
KATHARINA  
There is, there is.  
PETRUCHIO  
Then show it me.  
KATHARINA  
Had I a glass, I would.  
PETRUCHIO  
What, you mean my face?  
KATHARINA  
Well aim'd of such a young one.  
PETRUCHIO  
Now, by Saint George, I am too young for you.  
KATHARINA  
Yet you are wither'd.  
PETRUCHIO  
'
Tis with cares.  
KATHARINA  
I care not.  
PETRUCHIO  
Nay, hear you, Kate: in sooth you scape not so.
