BAT. REREMOUSE.

After summer merrily.

Titania. Some, war with rear-mice for their leathern 
wings, 
To make my small elves coats; 
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act ii. Scene 2. 
, Macbeth . . . ere the bat hath flown 
His cloister’d flight; 
2d Witch. Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, 
Macbeth, Act iii. Scene 2 ; Act iv. Scene 1. 
TOAD. 
Caliban. All the charms 
Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you ! 
The Tempest, Act i. Scene 2. 
Duke S. Sweet are the uses of adversity; 
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, 
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;

And heavy-gaited toads, lie in their way; 
King Richard II., Act iii. Scene 2.
