Lion: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations
"Tis The royal disposition of that beast, A.Y.iv.3. To prey on nothing that doth seem as dead. So looks the pent-up lion o'er the wretch, That trembles under his devouring paws: And so he walks, insulting o'er his prey; And so he comes to rend his limbs asunder.— H. VI. PT. III. i. 3.
