As fox to lamb, as wolf to heifer’s calf, 
Pard to the hind, or stepdame to her son;— 
Yea, let them say, to stick the heart of falsehood, 
As false as Cressid. 
Troilus and Cressida, Act iii. Scene 2. 
Marches. . . . He that trusts to you, 
Where he should find you lions finds you hares; 
Where foxes, geese: 
Coriolanus, Act i. Scene 1. 
Timon. ... If thou wert the lion, the fox 
would beguile thee; if thou wert the lamb, the fox 
would eat thee : if thou wert the fox, the lion would 
suspect thee, when, peradventure, thou wert accused 
by the ass : 
Timon of Athens, Act iv. Scene 3. 
Fool. A fox, when one has caught her, 
And such a daughter, 
Should sure to the slaughter, 
If my cap would buy a halter • 
So the fool follows after. 
King Lear, Act i. Scene 4. 
Or at the' fox, which lives by subtlety, 
Venus and Adonis. 
HARE. 
Prince Henry. What say’st thou to a hare, . . . ? 
King Henry IV., Part I. Act i. Scene 2. 
Cressida. . . . They that have the voice of 
lions, and the act of hares, are they not monsters ? 
Troilus and Cressida, Act iii. Scene 2.
