Don Gagnon
PETRUCHIO Well, come, my Kate, we will unto your father’s, 175 Even in these honest mean habiliments. 176 Our purses shall be proud, our garments poor, 177 For ’tis the mind that makes the body rich, 178 And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, 179 So honor peereth in the meanest habit. 180 What, is the jay more precious than the lark 181 Because his feathers are more beautiful? 182 Or is the adder better than the eel 183 Because his painted skin contents the eye? 184 O no, good Kate. Neither art thou the worse 185 For this poor furniture and mean array. 186 . . .
