You are called plain Kate,
And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst;
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation.
The Taming of the Shrew, 2. 1And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst;
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation.
Kates don't get much more plain than this. Curst? I'll let you know. I'm about to try plying for the first time, since I've now got two bobbins' worth of the lovely Louet Northern Lights spun up. I have ordered a Lazy Kate, but it has not arrived, so I decided to improvise. (Doesn't my Bee have a built-in Kate? you ask. Well yes, but I lost it...Don't even ask how one loses something that is built-in. Please.)
