Pet. Why came I hither but to that intent?

Think you a little din can daunt [mine] ears?

Have I not in my time heard lions roar?

Have I not heard the sea puff'd up with winds

Rage like an angry boar chafed with [sweat]?

Have I not heard great ordnance in the field,

And heaven's artillery thunder in the skies?

Have I not in a pitched battle heard

Loud 'larums, neighing steeds, and [trumpets' clang]?

And do you tell me of a woman's tongue,
