Iachimo. Swift, swift, you dragons of the night, 
that dawning 
May bare the raven’s eye ! 
Cymbeline, Act ii. Scene 2. 
Othello. ... O, it comes o’er my memory, 
As doth the raven o’er the infected house, 
Boding to all,— 
Othello, Act iv. Scene 1. 
Lady Macbeth. . . . The raven himself is 
hoarse 
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan 
Under my battlements. 
Macbeth, Act i. Scene 5. 
MAGPIE. 
King Henry. And chattering pies in dismal dis¬ 
cords sung. 
King Henry VI., Part III. Act v. Scene 6. 
ROOK. 
Macbeth. . . . they say, blood will have 
blood; 
Stones have been known to move, and trees to 
speak ; 
Augurs, and understood relations, have 
By magot-pies, and choughs, and rooks, brought 
forth 
The secret’st man of blood. 
Macbeth, Act iii. Scene 4.
