He spoke nobly, ardently, convincingly, of the sin of cowardice and indolence, of the necessity of action.
To look at the tawny brawn of his lithe snaky limbs, you would almost have credited the superstitions of some of the earlier Puritans and half-believed this wild Indian to be a son of the Prince of the Powers of the Air. Tashtego was Stubb the second mate's squire. Third among the harpooneers was Daggoo, a gigantic, coal-black negro-savage, with a lion-like tread an Ahasuerus to behold.
As an animal, Edward excelled me far; should he prove as paramount in mind as in person I must be a slave for I must expect from him no lion-like generosity to one weaker than himself; his cold, avaricious eye, his stern, forbidding manner told me he would not spare.

He had long quitted the army, but still wore his military beard, which gave to his fair pink face a fierce and lion-like look.

"Surely, sir, you should take shame to hold the damsel against her will." The man turned a face upon him which was lion-like in its strength and in its wrath.
