Shrew/ 2.1.126-128

By Eleanor

BAPTISTA    Ay, when the special thing is well obtain’d,
    That is, her love; for that is all in all.

PETRUCHIO

    Why, that is nothing: for I tell you, father,
    I am as peremptory as she proud-minded;
    And where two raging fires meet together
    They do consume the thing that feeds their fury:
    Though little fire grows great with little wind,
    Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all:
    So I to her and so she yields to me;
    For I am rough and woo not like a babe.
