Think you a little din can daunt mine ears? 202 Have I not in my time heard lions roar? 203 Have I not heard the sea, puffed up with winds, 204 Rage like an angry boar chafèd with sweat? 205 Have I not heard great ordnance in the field 206 And heaven’s artillery thunder in the skies? 207 Have I not in a pitchèd battle heard 208 Loud ’larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets clang? 209 And do you tell me of a woman’s tongue, 210 That gives not half so great a blow to hear 211 As will a chestnut in a farmer’s fire? 212 Tush, tush, fear boys with bugs!

PETRUCHIO Why came I hither but to that intent? 201 Think you a little din can daunt mine ears? 202 Have I not in my time heard lions roar? 203 Have I not heard the sea, puffed up with winds, 204 Rage like an angry boar chafèd with sweat? 205 Have I not heard great ordnance in the field 206 And heaven’s artillery thunder in the skies? 207 Have I not in a pitchèd battle heard 208 Loud ’larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets clang? 209 And do you tell me of a woman’s tongue, 210 That gives not half so great a blow to hear 211 As will a chestnut in a farmer’s fire? 212 Tush, tush, fear boys with bugs! 213 GRUMIO For he fears none. 214
