We talked of several other things relating to his service, wherein I promise assistance, but coldly, thinking it policy to do so, and so, after eating a short dinner, I away home, and there took out my wife, and she and I alone to the King's playhouse, and there saw a silly play and an old one, "The Taming of a Shrew," and so home and I to my office a little, and then home to supper and to bed.
They delighted in extracts from Shakespeare, especially from "The Taming of the Shrew," an admirable satire in itself on the old common law of England. I hated Petruchio as if he were a real man.

"Coptic", more especially as we both traversed much the same ground, and during the same interesting early time, in Western Victoria. "Old fashions please me best; I am not so nice To change true rules for odd inventions." Taming of the Shrew.
The clerk had, I'm afraid, a shrew of a wife shrill, vehement, and fluent. 'Rogue, 'old miser, 'old sneak, and a great many worse names, she called him. Good Mrs. Irons was old, fat, and ugly, and she knew it; and that knowledge made her natural jealousy the fiercer.
"Does the man not know that thou wert stolen, that thou wert kept against thy will, that thou hast trudged half-way from London for thy mother's sake?" "He will na leave me tell him, sir. He would na even listen to me!" "The muckle shrew!" quoth Master Jonson. "Why, I'll have this out with him! By Jupiter, I'll read him reason with a vengeance!"
