Tai. She says your worship means to make a puppet of her.

Pet. O [monstrous] arrogance! Thou liest, thou [thread,]

thou [thimble,]

Thou [yard,] three-quarters, half-yard, quarter, nail!

Thou flea, thou nit, thou winter-cricket thou!

Braved in mine own house with a skein of thread?

Away, thou rag, thou quantity, thou remnant;

Or I shall so be-mete thee with thy yard,

As thou shalt think on prating whilst thou livest!
