Speeches (Lines) for Widow in "The Taming of the Shrew"

Petruchio. Now, for my life, Hortensio fears his widow.

Widow. Then never trust me if I be afeard.

Petruchio. YOU are very sensible, and yet you miss my sense:
I mean Hortensio is afeard of you.

Widow. He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.

Katherina. Mistress, how mean you that?

Widow. Thus I conceive by him.

Katherina. 'He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.'
I pray you tell me what you meant by that.

Widow. Your husband, being troubled with a shrew,
Measures my husband's sorrow by his woe;
And now you know my meaning.

Katherina. A very mean meaning.

Widow. Right, I mean you.

Petruchio. Nay, I will win my wager better yet,
And show more sign of her obedience,
Her new-built virtue and obedience.
[Re-enter KATHERINA with BIANCA and WIDOW]
See where she comes, and brings your froward wives
As prisoners to her womanly persuasion.
Katherine, that cap of yours becomes you not:
Off with that bauble, throw it underfoot.

Widow. Lord, let me never have a cause to sigh
Till I be brought to such a silly pass!

Petruchio. Katherine, I charge thee, tell these headstrong women
What duty they do owe their lords and husbands.

Widow. Come, come, you're mocking; we will have no telling.

Petruchio. Come on, I say; and first begin with her.

Widow. She shall not.
