"Back, sir," cried Bertuccio in a rage, as he swung his pickaxe, "I will crush the viper's skull." The pick cleaved through the air, but before it descended on Benedetto's head, the count had grasped it, and with a powerful movement hurled it into the sea. "Bertuccio," he said coldly, "what right have you to play the judge in my presence?" "Oh, sir, pardon. Anger overcame me.
Klea avoided my eye to-day as if it shed poison like a viper's tooth, and I can have nothing more to do with her: still, might I be informed how she came into this temple? and if I can be of any service to her, I will-for your sake. Tell me now what you know of her and what you wish me to do."
There were other open spaces covered with a vegetation almost as interesting as the canes and the trees: this was where what were called "weeds" were allowed to flourish. Here were the thorn-apple, chenopodium, sow-thistle, wild mustard, redweed, viper's bugloss, and others, both native and introduced, in dense thickets five or six feet high.

Towards Dock Square was a group of young men flourishing cudgels, and daring the lobsters to come on. "Let's set the bell ringing," he heard one say, and two apprentices rushed past him towards the meetinghouse. The officers, the while, were closing the barrack gates. "To the main guard! Let us clean out that viper's nest," shouted one; and the apprentices moved towards King Street.
The arrows with which Hercules presented him were then no consolation to him, when The viper's bite, impregnating his veins With poison, rack'd him with its bitter pains. And therefore he cries out, desiring help, and wishing to die, Oh that some friendly hand its aid would lend, My body from this rock's vast height to send Into the briny deep!
Then I had the idea to boil all the viper's flesh off its bones, and I got an old meat-tin and we put the viper and some water into it and put it above the fire." "You hung it on a hook, Daddy." "Yes, we hung it on the hook that they put the porridge pot on in Scotland. Then just as it was turning brown in came the farmer's wife, and ran up to see what we were cooking.
He said again in a lower tone, gasping for breath: "Hold your tongue for God's sake hold your tongue!" "No! For a long time I have been wanting to give you my whole mind! You have given me an opening so much the worse for you. I love the woman; you know it, and laugh her to scorn in my presence so much the worse for you. But I will break your viper's fangs, I tell you.
Some years ago, and by some means or other, the viper's bugloss, or blue-weed, which is said to be a troublesome weed in Virginia, effected a lodgment near the head of the Esopus Creek, a tributary of the Hudson. From this point it has made its way down the stream, overrunning its banks and invading meadows and cultivated fields, and proving a serious obstacle to the farmer.
A viper's sting has robbed her of the years that were her due. I should have borne my loss, indeed I tried to bear it, but I was overcome by Love, a god well known in the world above, and I think not without honor in your kingdom, unless the story of Proserpina's theft be a lying tale.
