Don Pedro - (...) 'In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke.'Benedick - The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull's horns and set them in my forehead, and let me be vildly painted; and in such great letters as they writes, 'Here is good horse for hire', let them signify under my sign, 'Here you may see Benedick the married man. It is a common saying among people who have been married a long time that ‘the savage bull does not bear the yoke’. The meaning of this proverb is that a wild animal that has been trained from its youth to submit to man’s domination will submit to his master’s will more readily than a wild animal untamed by man.
