Proteus. For Orpheus’ lute was strung with poets’ 
sinews; 
Whose golden touch could soften steel and stones, 
Make tigers tame, and huge leviathans 
Forsake unsounded deeps to dance on sands.

Helena . . . . the mild hind 
Makes speed to catch the tiger: bootless speed !

York. O, tiger’s heart, wrapp’d in a woman’s hide ! 
But you are more inhuman, more inexorable, 
O, ten times more, than tigers of Hyrcania. 
King Henry VI., Part III. Act i. Scene 4. 
Nestor. The herd hath more annoyance by the 
brize 
Than by the tiger;

in fire, eat rocks, tame tigers ;

Act iii. Scene 2.
