WHOLESOME OBEDIENCE THE GRAND LAW OF NATURE. WHY, headstrong liberty is lash'd with woe. There's nothing, situate under heaven's eye, But hath his bound, in earth, in sea, in sky: The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls, Are their males' subject, and at their controls: Men, more divine, the masters of all these, Lords of the wide world, and wild wat'ry seas, Indued with intellectual sense and souls, Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls, Are masters to their females and their lords: Then let your will attend on their accords. COMEDY OF ERRORS, A. 2, s. 1. WIELDING OF MATERIAL AND AGRIPPA. To hold you in perpetual amity, Would then be nothing: truths would be but tales, Where now half tales be truths: her love to both, What power is in Agrippa, If I would say, Agrippa, be it so, CAS.

But, will you woo this wild cat? PETRUCHIO. Will I live? Why came I hither, but to that intent? Think you, a little din can daunt mine ears; Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets' clang? And do you tell me of a woman's tongue; That gives not half so great a blow to the ear, As will a chesnut in a farmer's fire? Tush tush! fear boys with bugs. HORTENSIO.
