Such a mad marriage never was before.
~ William Shakespeare
This is a way to kill a wife with kindness,And thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humour.He that knows better how to tame a shrew,Now let him speak. 'Tis charity to show.
She vied so fast, protesting oath after oath,that in a twink she won me to her love.O, you are novices. 'Tis a world to seeHow tame, when men and women are alone,A meacock wretch can make the curstest shrew.
By this reckoning he is more a shrew than she.
For I am born to tame you, Kate,And bring you from a wild Kate to a KateComfortable as other household Kates.
Of all matches never was the like.
