PELICAN. 
Gaunt . 0 , spare me not, my brother Edward’s son, 
For that I was his father Edward’s son; 
That blood already, like the pelican, 
Hast thou tapp’d out, 
King Richard II., Act ii. Scene 1. 
Laertes . To his good friends thus wide I’ll ope my 
arms; 
And, like the kind life-rendering pelican, 
Repast them with my blood. 
Hamlet, Act iv. Scene 5. 
GULL. 
Worcester . And being fed by us, you used us so 
As that ungentle gull the cuckoo’s bird 
Useth the sparrow; 
King Henry IV., Part I. Act v. Scene 1. 
Senator . ... I do fear, 
When every feather sticks in his own wing, 
Lord Timon will be left a naked gull, - 
Which flashes now a phoenix. 
Timon of Athens, Act ii. Scene 1. 
SCAMEL (Sea-Mell). 
Caliban . . . . I’ll bring thee 
To clust’ring filberds, and sometimes I’ll get thee 
Young scamels from the rock. 
The Tempest, Act ii. Scene 2.
