I don't think that rhymes, Patio. Isn't the usual pronunciation of 'zounds'
zoonds, as in 'wounds'? (Don't think I've ever heard anyone actually say it. You usually run across that word in really terrible pseudo-historical novels where the dialogue is full of 'forsoothing' as Josephine Tey calls it.)
I type it as it was uttered in the Taming of the Shrew episode of Moonlighting, and verily I will stand by it.
Of curse, in it's original countext there is not only the problem of pronounciation, but the problem of the reference being to Cybill Shepherd, which leaves oune woundering, *What mounds? indeed*...
