Cassius. And why should Caesar be a tyrant, then ? 
Poor man ! I know he would not be a wolf, 
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep : 
Julius Cesar, Act i. Scene 3. 
Ulysses. And appetite, an universal wolf, 
So doubly seconded with will and power, 
Must make, perforce, an universal prey, 
And, last, eat up himself. 
Troilus and Cressida, Act i. Scene 3. 
Siciniics. Nature teaches beasts to know their 
friends. 
Menenius. Pray you, who does the wolf love ? 
Sicinius . The lamb. 
Coriolanus, Act ii. Scene 1. 
Lear. To be a comrade with the wolf and owl,— 
Fool. He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a 
wolf, 
King Lear, Act ii. Scene 4 ; Act iii. Scene 6. 
Arviragus. . . . subtle as the fox, for prey ; 
Like warlike as the wolf, for what we eat: 
Cymbeline, Act iii. Scene 3. 
Macbeth. . . . and wither’d murder, 
Alarum’d by his sentinel, the wolf, 
Whose howl’s his watch, 
Macbeth, Act ii. Scene 1. 
If he had spoke, the wolf would leave his prey, 
And never fright the silly lamb that day. 
Venus and Adonis.
