Dunbar never knew; but a sudden recollection of the face printed on the glass, the face, beautiful as fabled Hylas of the man for whose sake she was willing to die stung him like an adder's bite; and setting his teeth hard, he rapped upon the door held ajar; then threw it open.

Fillet of a fenny snake In the caldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing: Maw of ravening salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digged in the dark," etc Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1 And again: Macbeth.

"Not to-night," interrupted Zillah; "to-morrow, and not to-night; I can bear no more to-night." "Sir Willmott Burrell," said Dalton, walking to where he stood, beaten down and trampled, yet full of poison as an adder's tooth, "be it known that I pity you: your dagger has been turned into your own heart! The human flesh you bribed me to destroy, lives! What message brought Jeromio from the ocean?"

"We have found something," said Cary; "I only hope it may not be a mare's nest, like many another of our finding." "Or an adder's," said Yeo. "We must beware of treachery." "We must beware of no such thing," said Amyas, pretty sharply.
My impression is that her walk must have been exceptionally long." "I used to tell her not to overwalk herself this weather," said Clym, with distress. "Do you think we did well in using the adder's fat?" "Well, it is a very ancient remedy the old remedy of the viper-catchers, I believe," replied the doctor.
