Paulina , The casting forth to crows thy baby 
daughter, 
A Winter’s Tale, Act iii. Scene 2. 
Iden. . , . . cut off thy most ungracious 
head; 
Which I will bear in triumph to the king, 
Leaving thy trunk for crows to feed upon. 
King Henry VI., Part II. Act iv. Scene 10. 
Troilus. . . . the busy day, 
Waked by the lark, hath roused the ribald crows, 
Troilus and Cressida, Act iv. Scene 2. 
2 d Captain. A leg of Rome shall not return to 
tell 
What crows have peck’d them here : 
Cymbeline, Act v. Scene iii. 
Coriolanus. . . . —thus we debase 
The nature of our seats, and make the rabble 
Call our cares, fears : which will in time 
Break ope the locks o’ the senate, and bring in 
The crows to peck the eagles. 
Coriolanus, Act iii. Scene 1. 
Macbeth. . . . Light thickens; and the crow 
Makes wing to the rooky wood ; 
Macbeth, Act iii. Scene 2. 
And thou, treble-dated crow, 
That thy sable gender mak’st 
With the breath thou giv’st and tak’st, 
’Mongst our mourners shalt thou go. 
Phoenix and the Turtle.
