Easy Reading Shakespeare
Volume Two
THE
TAMING OF THE SHREW
Petruchio ‘taming his
shrew’.
He threw the food onto the floor.
He cried, ‘Not good enough!
This will not do for you, my love.
You shall not eat this stuff.’
So Katharine went to bed at last,
Hungry and tired out.
But when Petruchio saw their bed
He raised his voice to shout.
‘This bed is badly made,’ he cried.
‘The pillows are too hard.’
And then he threw the linen sheets
Straight out into the yard.
Katharine was badly shaken,
‘I’ll sleep in this chair,’ she said.
Petruchio spent half the night
Just slagging off the bed.
He yelled about the servants
So she didn’t get much sleep,
And by the time the morning came
Poor Kate was fit to weep.
