A wound by the cotton-mouth moccasin, if treated properly, may not result in death. Like other viperine bites, however, it so affects the surrounding flesh that blood poisoning may follow days after the first crisis has been passed. Yet, even with this two-fold menace lurking in its fangs, it is not the most feared of Florida snakes.
Perturbed that the man had vanished, he had slid down into the path to look. Skag breathed. "And now if you will shut the door, Carlin " A great cry from Carlin answered. Thick and viperine, the thing looked, as it hurled forward. It was like the fling of a lash. Four feet away, Skag looked into the hooded head poised to strike, the eyes flaming into an altogether different dimension for battle.
When he first stretched his head round an egg, the viperine snakes in the same case hastily assumed him to be a very large tadpole; and since tadpoles are regarded with gastronomical affection by viperine snakes, they began an instant chase, each prepared to swallow the entire phenomenon, because a snake never hesitates to swallow anything merely on account of its size.

Outwitted, William went off in distress to the bishop, who sent for Sir Thomas, in private, charged him, and tried to make him confess. But he, "fearing the scoldings of his too tongue-banging wife more than God's justice, and being, moreover, spell-bound by her viperine hissings," affected utter innocence. The bishop plied him vigorously, urging public opinion and his own old weak state.
'I think it's just the horridest, beastliest thing I ever saw, she answered, and turned away. 'More than you will be of that way of thinking, young woman. Dick, there's a sort of murderous, viperine suggestion in the poise of the head that I don't understand, said Torpenhow. That's trick-work, said Dick, chuckling with delight at being completely understood.
