myShakespeare | Taming of the Shrew Introduction 2 Performance: Sly and Page, Lines 110-125

Madam wife, they say that I have dreamed

And slept above some fifteen year or more.

Ay, and the time seems thirty unto me,

Being all this time abandoned from your bed.

'Tis much. Servants, leave me and her alone.

[Exit, Lord and Servants]

Madam, undress you and come now to bed.

Thrice-noble lord, let me entreat of you

To pardon me yet for a night or two,

Or, if not so, until the sun be set,

For your physicians have expressly charged,

In peril to incur your former malady,

That I should yet absent me from your bed.

I hope this reason stands for my excuse.

Ay, it stands so that I may hardly tarry so long. But I

would be loath to fall into my dreams again. I will

therefore tarry in despite of the flesh and the blood.
