It is easier to cut down an evil tree than to climb up and lop off it branches; besides the branches will grow again if the stock is left undisturbed. It is easier to destroy the mother of vipers than it is to chase after, catch and kill her poisonous progeny. The reptiles will not become extinct while the mother is left to breed without restraint.
Old ballads are full of accounts of the perils incurred by rash and self-sufficient girls who ventured alone out of doors in their innocent ignorance or imprudent bravado. The roadless wastes gave harbour to abundance of fierce small animals and deadly vipers, and to men worse than any of them.
Persons of all nationalities, religions, and professions were admitted members; and it was continually enriched by the addition of curiosities, amongst which in particular were an herb which grew in the stomach of a thrush; the skin of a Moor tanned, with the beard and hair white; a clock, having movements directed by loadstone; an ostrich, whose young had been born alive; mummies; strange fish; and the hearts and livers of vipers.
Man. Oh! then that sap is not your father! Myself. What, the snake? Why, no! Did you think he was? Man. To be sure we did. Didn't you tell me so? Myself. Why, yes; but who would have thought you would have believed it? It is a tame one. I hunt vipers and tame them. Man. O h! "O h!" grunted the woman, "that's it, is it?"
It is the bounding of the Berserker blood in us, the murmuring echo of the old death-song of Regnar Lodbrog, as he lay amid vipers in his dungeon: "What is the fate of a brave man, but to fall amid the foremost?

Two or three minutes passed before he re-emerged. "It's no go," he shouted up. "Skipper says as we must 'ave Faith. Called me an onbelievin' generation o' vipers, an' would I kindly leave 'im alone to wrastle."
Imagine a sawing machine running over your hand. But I was cool, and happy that I had been bitten by a crocodile! Then I was dumb enough to try the bite of a wall lizard that Gerry had caught to feed to his pit vipers.
Ye generation of vipers!" A murmur was heard from the crowd which threatened to grow into a mighty demonstration, when, beginning on the outer edge, it died suddenly. In its place was heard the measured tramp of feet and the clanking of arms.
"Grass snakes ought not to be killed, that's true," Panteley muttered placidly, "they ought not. . . They are not vipers; though it looks like a snake, it is a gentle, innocent creature. . . . It's friendly to man, the grass snake is." Dymov and the man with the black beard were probably ashamed, for they laughed loudly, and not answering, slouched lazily back to their waggons.
She descended into the cave, and Aeneas followed. Before the threshold of hell they passed through a group of beings who are enumerated as Griefs and avenging Cares, pale Diseases and melancholy Age, Fear and Hunger that tempt to crime, Toil, Poverty, and Death, forms horrible to view. The Furies spread their couches there, and Discord, whose hair was of vipers tied up with a bloody fillet.
